Mubashir ah · Answer

These are those glands which have no ducts but their secretions reach the target organs through blood stream.e.g pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal gland etc.

Akachdeep Medhi · Answer

​Endocrine glands are ductless glands that release chemicals tobring about chemical coordination in the body of an organism. These chemicals are called hormones. For eg: Thyroid gland releases thyroxine. The endocrine glands directly release hormones directly into the bloodstram thereby reaching targetted organs (places of action). So, the blood acts as a medium for transporting the hormones from the endocrine glands to targatted areas (places of action). With regards, Akash
