In how many groups are body glands classified? |
|
Answer» The body glands are classified into two main groups: (i) Exocrine glands: The secretions of these glands are carried by ducts to a particular organ for some metabolic activity. e.g., salivary glands, liver etc. (ii) Endocrine glands: These glands have no ducts and their secretions get absorbed into the immediate surrounding blood circulation to reach specific organs to initiate a particular metabolic change. e.g. pituitary, thyroid. |
