Question

Which gland produces a thicker secretion?

• A. Endocrine gland
• B. Apocrine gland
• C. Sebaceous gland
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and B

• A type of gland that is found in the skin, breast, eyelid, and ear. Apocrine glands in the breast secrete fat droplets into breast milk and those in the ear help form earwax. Apocrine glands in the skin and eyelid are sweat glands.
• Endocrine glands are glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood rather than through a duct. The major glands of the endocrine system include the pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, hypothalamus and adrenal glands.

Hence, Endocrine gland and Apocrine gland produces a thicker secretion.

So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B'.
