What are the examples of exocrine glands?

Examples of exocrine glands include: sweat glands, salivary glands, sebaceous glands, mammary glands, and stomach glands. Sweat glands function to produce and secrete sweat when body temperature rises. Specifically, exocrine sweat glands are the most abundant as they cover almost the entire body surface area, and produce the highest volume of sweat excretion. Salivary glands produce and secrete saliva. This is an important function of the body as saliva assists in the digestion of food and lubricates the inner lining of tissues. Sebaceous glands secrete sebum into hair follicles to protect and lubricate hair and skin. Stomach glands secrete enzymes in the stomach that assist in breaking down food as well as in the absorption of nutrients. Mammary glands produce and release milk, which is rich in nutrients. It has an important role in the development of an infant's immune system.
