Ductless gland

Ductless glands are glands that secreat their product directly onto a surface rather then through a duct, i.e. Goblet cells in the Epithelial surface of the digestive, respiratory, urinary and reproductive systems. Endocrin glandss are also ductless glands, they secrete the hormones they produce directly into the blood or lymph system so it will be circulated to the entire body.
