Glands secrete various substances, primarily hormones, enzymes, and other fluids. Endocrine glands release hormones directly into the bloodstream to regulate bodily functions, while exocrine glands secrete substances like saliva, sweat, and digestive enzymes through ducts to specific locations. These secretions play crucial roles in processes such as metabolism, growth, and homeostasis.
