The Endocrine gland is a gland whose secretions (termed as hormones) are collected by the blood and reach the tissues via the circulation.

The Exocrine gland is a gland whose secretions are liberated externally via ducts (into the skin, intestinal lumen, mouth and so on). The sebaceous glands and the salivary glands are illustrations of exocrine glands.
