DUCTLESS GLANDS

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 633 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DRO-ECG
DUCTLESS GLANDS , in anatomy. A certain number of glands in the
body
 , often of
great
  physiological importance, have no ducts (Lat. due/us, from ducere, to lead, i.e. vessels, tubes or canals for conveying away fluid or other substance); and their products, known as
internal
  secretions, are at once carried away by the veins or lymphatics which drain them. Among these structures are the
spleen
 , the adrenals, the
thyroid
  gland, the parathyroids, the thymus and the
carotid
  and
coccygeal
  bodies. In addition to these the lymphatic glands are described in the
article
  on the lymphatic
system
  (q.v.), and the pineal and pituitary bodies in the
article
  on the brain (q.v.).
