Message definition (Endocrine system)
The endocrine system is contrasted both to [[exocrine glands]], which secrete hormones to the outside of the body, and to the system known as  [[paracrine signalling]] between cells over a relatively short distance. Endocrine glands have no [[Duct (anatomy)|ducts]], are vascular, and commonly have intracellular vacuoles or granules that store their hormones. In contrast, exocrine glands, such as [[salivary gland]]s, [[sweat gland]]s, and glands within the [[Human gastrointestinal tract|gastrointestinal tract]], tend to be much less vascular and have ducts or a hollow [[Lumen (anatomy)|lumen]].
Endocrinology is a branch of [[internal medicine]].
