Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An exocrine gland is characterized by having a duct that maintains the connection with the epithelial membrane, allowing it to secrete substances onto a surface or into a cavity. Endocrine glands, on the other hand, secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream without the need for a duct. Lymph glands are also known as lymph nodes and perform a role in the immune system, while gonadal glands are responsible for the production of sex hormones. Muscular glands do not exist as a recognized type of gland.
