Glants in our body can be divided into three types based on their function.
00:08
One is the endocrine gland.
00:11
Second is the exocrine glands.
00:15
And third one is the heterocrine glands.
00:20
So as the name says, endo is itself, exo is outside, hetero is both.
00:27
So endocrine glands are commonly.
00:30
Known as ductless glands, ductless glands because they do not have a particular duct to release their secretions.
00:40
Exocrine gland on the other hand have ducted, so they are duct glands.
00:45
So, hectorocrine glands can act as both, act as both.
00:50
That is, they release both secretions as endocrine and exocrine.
00:55
So the secretions from endocrine are hormones basically.
01:00
And secretion from exocrine are enzymes which go to specific target organs.
01:08
So heterocrane releases both, that is endocrine part releases hormones and the exocrine part releases the enzymes...
