| Duct System | Absent | Present |
| Location | Scattered throughout the body, often near blood vessels. | Found in specific regions or organs, such as the skin, salivary glands, liver, pancreas, etc. |
| Mode of Secretion | Secretion is released directly into the bloodstream, allowing for systemic effects. | Secretion is transported through ducts and reaches the target area locally. |
| Target Cells | Hormones act on target cells or organs that have specific receptors for the hormone. | Secretions act on nearby or distant cells, depending on the location of the duct and the target area. |
| Regulation | Secretion is regulated by feedback mechanisms involving hormone levels in the blood. | Secretion is usually regulated by neural or hormonal signals, often in response to a specific stimulus or _________ __________ _______ __________ _____ _________ _______. ____ ____ ___ ____ _____ _______ _______ ______ ______. __________ _________ ________ _________ ________ _______ ___ ___ ______. ______ __________ _______ ________ _____ _________ ______. _________ __________ __________ __________ ___ ____ ___. ___ _______ ________ _____ ___ __________ ______ _____ _______ _________. ___ ______ ______ _______ _______ _____ ___ ________ _____. _________ _____ ______ _____ _______ ___ _____ __________. _____ _________ ________ ____ _______. _______ _______ ________ ___ ___ _____. ________ _____ __________ ___ ______ __________ _____ _______ __________. ________ _____ ________ ____ ________ ____ ___ ___ ________ _______ ________. ________ ___ __________ ____ ___ ________ _____ _________ ___ __________ _______ __________. ___ _____ _____ ___ ______ _________ _______ _________. ________ ____ ________ ________ __________ ___ __________ _________ __________ ____. ______ ______ ______ ______ _____ ______ __________ _____ ______ ___ _____. _____ ____ ______ __________ __________ __________ _____. ______ ____ ____ ____ ______ _____ _______. ___ ___ _____ ________ _____ _______ _____. _____ _________ ____ ____ __________ ______. _____ ________ __________ ______ _____ _________ _____ ____. ____ ________ _____ _____ ________ ________. __________ ____ _________ _________ ____ _______ __________. ___ _______ ______ ___ _____ ________ ___ ___. _________ _________ ____ __________ ________ ________ ______ ____. _____ _________ _________ __________ ____ ______ ___ ______ _______ _____ ___. _____ ________ _________ _________ ______ ___ _____ _________. ____ ____ _____ _____ ______ ______ ______. ___ ___ ____ ________ __________ _______. __________ ___ ______ __________ ____ __________ __________ __________ ___ ________ _________. _______ _____ ______ ________ __________ __________ _____ ______ __________ __________. ______ ___ __________ _____ ________ ____ ____ _____. _______ _____ ___ _________ ______. _______ _________ _____ ________ ____ ____ ___ __________ _____ ___. ________ ____ _____ __________ ____ _______ ________ ______. ___ ______ _____ __________ ________ _________ ______ _____ ____ ___. __________ ___ _________ ___ _________ _______ _____. ___ __________ _________ ___ ___ _____ ____ __________. ____ _______ _______ ____ ______ __________ _______ ___ ___. _________ ___ _____ __________ _______ ________ _________ _____ _______ __________ _______. _________ __________ ______ __________ ______ _____ _______ ______ _______ _______ ____. ____ _______ ___ _______ _____ ___ _______ ___ __________. ________ _________ ____ ________ _____ __________ _____ ________ ______ __________. ______ ____ _____ ____ _________. ___ _______ ___ ________ ___ _____ _____. ____ _____ __________ _______ _____ ______ _______. _____ ____ ___ __________ ____. ________ _____ ________ _________ __________. ___ _____ __________ __________ ________ __________ __________ ______ ______ ______. ________ _________ __________ ________ _____ __________ ______ ______ ______ ____. ______ ___ ________ ____ __________ _________ ____ ___. ________ ___ ___ ______ _______ __________ __________ _______ ____. ________ _________ __________ _________ ______ __________ _________. ___ ____ _____ ______ ________. ____ ______ ___ ______ _________ ________ ________. ______ ________ __________ ___ ________ ______ ______ ____ ________ __________ ______. ____ ____ ______ __________ __________. ___ __________ _________ _______ __________ _______ _________ ________ ________ _______ _____. ___ _____ ______ _______ _______ ____ __________. ____ _________ ____ _________ _____ ______ ________ ____ ______. _________ ____ _________ ______ ________ _____. _______ _____ ________ ____ ______ _____ ____ __________ ___. _____ _____ ______ ______ _____ __________ ______ ____. ___ ___ __________ _______ ________ __________ _______ __________ ________ ____ _________. ______ ________ __________ ______ _________ ____ _________. ___ __________ __________ ________ ____ ____ ___ ______ _______ ____. __________ ________ _________ __________ _______ ________ ____ _____. __________ _____.
