Q

Endocrine glands:

  1. are ductless glands that secrete hormones.
  2. secrete bile.
  3. include the adrenal glands.

2 and 3 only

1 and 2 only
1, 2, and 3

A

1 and 3 only

are ductless glands that secrete hormones.
include the adrenal glands.

Endocrine glands are ductless glands that secrete hormones directly Into the bloodstream. The major endocrine glands include the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pancreas, ovaries, testes.

The liver is not considered an endocrine gland. When the liver cells secrete bile, It is collected by a system of ducts that flow from the liver through the right and left hepatic ducts. These ducts ultimately drain into the common hepatic duct. The common hepatic duct then joins with the cystic duct from the gallbladder to form the common bile duct.
