Human body glands

Human body glands

Glands in the body release fluids or hormones that play an important role in maintaining the health of the body. Glands are classified as canalized and canalless glands. Channeled glands, also called exocrine glands, excrete some chemicals through channels. Ductless glands are called endocrine glands. Glands receive signals from the brain to release useful fluids.
