Ductless gland

Ductless glands are glands that secrete their product directly onto a surface rather then through a duct. Examples are the goblet cell s in the epithelial surface of the digestive, respiratory, urinary and reproductive systems. Many endocrine glands are also ductless glands, as they secrete the hormones they produce directly into the blood or lymph system so it will be circulated to the entire body.
