It is most commonly due to sepsis in the throat or mouth which migrates to the submandibular space.Occasionally, it may be the result of suppuration in the submandibular gland itself.1  it is necessary to consider the anatomy of the submandibular space in order to understand the pathophysiology of Ludwig's angina.t is most commonly due to sepsis in the throat or mouth which migrates to the submandibular space.

Endocrine glands secrete their hormones directly into the bloodstream. Exocrine glands secrete their hormones into a duct that leaves the body externally: for example, sweat glands empty onto the skin.Endocrine gland secretes compounds (hormones) into the blood.Exocrine gland secretes compounds outside of the body (including into the GI tract since the GI tract is topologically outside of the body). Exocrine glands have ducts that carry their secretory product to a surface.These glands include the sweat, sebaceous, and mammary glands and, the glands that secrete digestive enzymes.The endocrine glands do not have ducts to carry their product to a surface.xocrine glands have ducts that carry their secretory product to a surface.
