A device, such as the outer sleeve of a stuffing box, designed to prevent a fluid from leaking past a moving machine part. an organ of the body which produces a substance that the body needs, such as hormones, sweat, or saliva (glande, from glans ). Collection of cells or tissue that removes specific substances from the blood, alters or concentrates them, and then either releases them for further use by the body or eliminates them. Typically, the functional cells of a gland rest on a membrane and are surrounded by a meshwork of blood vessels. Endocrine, or ductless, glands (e.g., pituitary, thyroid, adrenal) discharge hormones into the bloodstream directly rather than through ducts (see endocrine system). Exocrine glands (e.g., digestive, mammary, salivary, sweat) discharge their products through ducts. adrenal gland suprarenal gland mammary gland parathyroid gland pineal gland pituitary gland prostate gland salivary gland sebaceous gland sweat gland tear duct and gland lachrymal duct and gland thyroid gland
