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).

These gland are the glands that secret their products into ducts. They are counter parts to endocrine glands which directly secrets their products into bloodstream. Typical exocrine glands include sweat gland, salivary glands, mammary glands, and many glands of the digestive system.
