Glands
Exocrine Secrete products into a duct that is on a body surface and outside of the bloodstream Ductal glands
Endocrine Secrete hormones into the bloodstream Endocrine and neuroendocrine system
Hormones
Exocrine Autocrine Affects the cell that is secreting it Epinephrine released by cells in the adrenal glands affects the function of those cells Paracrine Affects cells close to the cell secreting it Histamine released by cells in damaged tissue affects other cells in that damaged region Endocrine Released into the bloodstream to affect cells in different parts of the body Testosterone secreted by testis affects cells hair cells all over the body
