Exocrine system: a system of glands that secrete substances onto an epithelial surface by way of a duct. Examples of exocrine glands include sweat, salivary, mammary, ceruminous, lacrimal, sebaceous, and mucous. Exocrine glands are one of two types of glands in the human body, the other being endocrine glands, which secrete their products directly into the bloodstream.

The liver and pancreas are both exocrine and endocrine glands; they are exocrine glands because they secrete products—bile and pancreatic juice—into the gastrointestinal tract through a series of ducts, and endocrine because they secrete other substances directly into the bloodstream.

Exocrine glands are glands that secrete substances/enzymes/hormone onto an epithelial lined surface [such as a blood vessel] by way of a duct.

Endocrine system: is a chemical messenger system comprising feedback loops of hormones released by internal glands of an organism directly into the circulatory system, regulating distant target organs. In humans, the major endocrine glands are the thyroid gland and the adrenal glands.

Overview

Central to demise and dysfunction of both endocrine and exocrine glands is LOW-INFLAMMATION caused by insulin-resistance/pre-diabetes as a result of inability to digest food.
