Template:Sister projectTemplate:Cat main The term exocrine system is sometimes used in educational contexts as a teaching contrast to the endocrine system, grouping glands that secrete products through ducts. However, it is not recognized as a distinct organ system in standard anatomy and physiology. Exocrine glands are instead classified as components of other systems (e.g., sweat glands in the integumentary system; salivary glands, liver, and exocrine pancreas in the digestive system).<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
