Abstract

The glands of insects are composed of one or more cells which secrete substances used in or eliminated from the body. Two main types of secretory structures occur. The exocrine glands are provided with a more or less well-defined aperture or duct and discharge their secretions outside the body or into the lumen of one or other of the viscera, while the endocrine glands have no specialized ducts, their products (hormones) usually diffusing into the blood which transports them to all parts of the body.
