I am system X. I perform secretions inside the body and have ducts. The secretions act at the site of secretion. I have a counter system,i.e., Y and it has exactly the opposite set of properties. Identify me and my counter system.

• A. X - Exocrine system, Y- Endocrine system
• B. X - Endocrine system, X - Exocrine system
• C. Both X and Y- Endocrine system
• D. Both X and Y - Exocrine system

Answer 1

The correct option is A

X - Exocrine system, Y- Endocrine system

Properties of the exocrine system are as follows:
● Secretions may be inside or on the surface the body
● Has ducts
● The secretions act at the site of secretion (localised)

Properties of the endocrine system are as follows:
● Secretions are inside the body
● No ducts
● The secretions act far away from site of secretion (not localised)
