Endocrine Glands
The endocrine glands do not have ducts to carry their
product to a surface. They are called ductless glands.
The secretory products of endocrine glands are called
hormones and are secreted directly into the blood.
Exocrine Glands
Exocrine glands have ducts that carry their secretory
product to a surface.
These glands include the sweat, mammary glands,
lacrimal glands.

Thyroid-stimulating
hormone
Thyroid-stimulating
hormone, or thyrotropin,
causes the glandular
cells of the thyroid to
secrete thyroid hormone.
When there is a
hypersecretion of
thyroid-stimulating
hormone, the thyroid
gland enlarges and
secretes too much
thyroid hormone.

Adrenocorticotropic
hormone
Adrenocorticotropic
hormone reacts
with receptor sites in the cortex of
the adrenal gland to stimulate the
secretion of cortical hormones,
particularly cortisol.
