Exocrine glands are glands whose secretions pass into a system of ducts that lead ultimately to the exterior of the body. So the inner surface of the glands and the ducts that drain them are topologically continuous with the exterior of the body (the skin).

Exocrine glands can also be classified according to how they secrete their products. There are three categories of functional classification, holocrine glands, merocrine (or eccrine) glands, and apocrine glands. Holocrine glands accumulate their secretions in each cell's cytoplasm and release the whole cell into the duct.

Glands of the body are classified as either exocrine or endocrine types. Exocrine glands are glands that retain ducts to body surfaces. During development, endocrine glands lose their contacts to embryological surfaces(ducts) and become isolated as small blocks of tissues.
