Basically a digestive enzyme helps to break down the food whether it is in the mouth (I forget the enzyme present in saliva) or in the intestine, Digestive hormones serve to regulate digestion for example the pH in the stomach is regulated by Gastrin. I'm guessing that you goto the University of Sydney because I have this very same question in an assignment

Which hormone is produced in the endocrine gland?
Endocrine glands are glands which secrete oil, sweat, enzymes into ducts. Example: sweat glands, sebaceous glands, digestive gland, mucous. Correction! Exocrine glands are those which secrete to the outside (can still be inside the body- for example hormones involved in digestion) which have ducts and secrete oil- sebaceous glands. Endocrine glands secrete to hormones the "inside" and DO NOT have ducts, they are ductless.
Endocrine glands are glands without what?

What is the major difference between exocrine and endocrine glands?
I think the student wanted to ask about the difference between an exocrine and endocrine gland but mistakened and wrote both the same.
