Question

Which of the following is an endocrine gland?

• A. Salivary gland
• B. Sebaceous gland
• C. Parathyroid gland
• D. Gall bladder

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Parathyroid gland

Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the blood rather than through a duct. Parathyroid gland is an example of an endocrine gland and secretes a hormone called parathormone.

Sweat glands, sebaceous glands and salivary glands are all exocrine glands and pour their secretions with the help of ducts into the target sites. Gall bladder is a small organ in the human body that stores bile and releases it into the small intestine through the bile duct.
