These are glands with ducts unlike endocrine glands which do not have any ducts. Thus, they pour their secretions on to an epithelial surface via ducts. Examples of exocrine glands are: salivary glands, mammary
Additionally, adipose tissue serves as a critical endocrine organ, secreting adipokines that function as hormones and cytokines, essential for energy metabolism (McNamara & Huber, 2018). The transcription factor XBP1 is integral to lactation, influencing mammary gland development, UPR, endoplasmic ...
