These secretions flow to the surface of the body or to the lining of a hollow structure in the body. The exocrine secretions are involved in many important functions, such as sweating, digestion and lubricating the eyes.There are many types of exocrine glands in the exocrine system.xamples include the salivary glands, liver, stomach, prostate, lacrimal glands, pancreas, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and mammary glands.

In the human digestive system, the main sites of digestion are the oral cavity, the stomach, and the small intestine. Digestive enzymes are secreted by different exocrine glands including: 1  Salivary glands.2  Secretory cells in the stomach.igestive enzymes are classified based on their target substrates 1  : proteases and peptidases split proteins into small peptides and amino acids. 2  lipases split fat into three fatty acids and a glycerol molecule. 3  amylases split carbohydrates such as starch and sugars into simple sugars such as glucose.
