Summary Introduction

To review:

The location of the endocrine glands in a diagram that develop from:

Roof of the embryonic mouth, floor of the diencephalon, endoderm on the floor of the pharynx, endoderm of the pharyngeal pouches, and neural crest of early sympathetic trunk ganglia.

Introduction:

Glands are classified as endocrine and exocrine glands on the bases of their way to release chemical secretions. Endocrine glands release their secretions directly into the blood and are ductless glands while exocrine glands release their secretions directly to the target sites through the ducts. The chemical secretions of the endocrine gland are known as hormones.
