Which one is an endocrine gland?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a Pancreas
- b Liver
- c Pituitary
- d Salivary gland
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: c Pituitary
The pituitary is a ductless or endocrine gland that releases hormones into the blood.
Why the other options are wrong
- a Pancreas: The islets of the pancreas are ductless, but the pancreas as a whole is a mixed gland.
- b Liver: The liver is a duct gland; bile goes out through a duct.
- d Salivary gland: The salivary gland sends saliva to the mouth through a duct.
