secrete means expelling out and excrete means waste coming out from the human body.
secrete
Its not the glands that excrete hormones, its called the glands that secrete hormones. Pituitary gland, the testes, thyroid gland pretty much the endocrine system.
This aggregation of cells specialized to secrete or excrete materials not related to their function is known as a gland. Glands can be classified into various types based on their secretion mechanisms and the type of substances they release. Examples include sweat glands, salivary glands, and endocrine glands.
The main difference between exocrine and endocrine glands is that endocrine glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream and have no ducts while exocrine glands secrete chemical substances into ducts.
You secrete sweat. Excretions refer to bodily waste. They serve no more use to the body and thus are removed from the system. (e.g. feces, urine) In contrast, secretions serve a purpose and are not considered waste. (e.g. sweat, saliva, mucus, wax). Sweat is necessary in thermo-regulation.

Endocrine glands secrete directly into the blood. Exocrine glands secrete through ducts onto an organ surface.
Sebaceous glands secrete oil to protect the skin. Sweat glands secrete watery perspiration to excrete wastes and cool the body.
Yes, but in mammals it is a minor function. (In salt water fish it is their major function.)

digestive glands secrete enzymes which breaks down food into simpler forms to be digested while endocrine glands secrete hormones which are involved in growth and development
No. Urea is generally excreted by MOST adult amphibians.

Hmmm. I do not believe the kidneys excrete hormones. They filter the blood and excrete urine into the bladder. But no hormones. Ayraayra: The kindey's secrete Erythropoietin and Calcitriol.
Technically skin doesn't excrete anything, skin glands aren't there to don't remove waste from the body. They secrete substances instead, which is different from excretion. Gland skin cells are so called excitable cells, which can transform chemical work into physical. So, for instance, a nerve signal or membrane polarisation can cause glands to secrete the stuff inside.
Secrete means to produce, to give off. Clams secrete calcium to make their shells.
