Solution

The correct option is A

endocrine glands


Glands without ducts are called "ductless" or "endocrine" glands. They release their secretions directly into the bloodstream. The pituitary is the master endocrine gland which regulates the secretions of other endocrine glands such as pancreas, thyroid glands, gonads, adrenal glands, etc. The secretions of endocrine glands are called hormones.
