"endo"-- means 'within'
Endocrine word is derived from greek words;
"endon": means 'within' and "krinien": means 'to seperate'
Endocrine glands are those which lack ducts and pass their secretions into the surrounding blood for transport to the site of action. They are also called ductless glands or glands of internal secretion.
