exocrine gland

Gland that discharges secretions, usually through a tube or a duct, onto a surface. Examples include sweat glands which release sweat on to the skin, and digestive glands which release digestive juices onto the walls of the intestine. Some animals also have endocrine glands (ductless glands) that release hormones directly into the bloodstream.
