Answer 1

The correct option is B Pituitary, pineal, testes, heart and kidney are organized endocrine glands of body

Hormones are non-nutrient chemicals which act as intercellular messengers and are produced in trace amounts.

Organized endocrine glands are the ones whose cell-producing hormones are found in clusters. Pituitary, pineal, thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, parathyroid, thymus and gonads (testis in males and ovary in females) are the organized endocrine bodies in our body.

Hypothalamus is the basal part of diencephalon, forebrain and it regulates a wide spectrum of body functions.
