Exocrine glands are glands that secrete their products, such as sweat, saliva, and digestive enzymes, through ducts directly into the body cavity or onto body surfaces. The endocrine system is made up of the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands, as well as the ovaries, testes, and pancreas. The endocrine system is a network of glands that produce and release hormones that help regulate the body’s growth, metabolism, and sexual function.
