Hormone that secretes a substance => cells in gland make a substance which passes out of cells
Two types of glands: exocrine and endocrine
Exocrine: secrete their products through a tube or duct => salivary glands in mouth produce saliva down salivary ducts
Endocrine: have no duct => aka. ductile glands => secrete hormones into blood vessels that pass through the gland
Endocrine gland examples: the pituatry gland, the thyroid glaind, the pancreas, the adrenals, the testes, etc.
