Question
lo 1.3. name three well - known endocrine glands.
liver, gallbladder, and pancreas
stomach, small intestine, and large intestine
sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and salivary glands
mammary gland, pancreas, and ovaries
pituitary gland, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands
Brief Explanations
- The liver and gallbladder are not endocrine glands. The liver is a metabolic organ, and the gallbladder stores bile.
- The stomach, small intestine, and large intestine are part of the digestive system, not endocrine glands.
- Sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and salivary glands are exocrine glands (they secrete substances through ducts).
- The mammary gland is an exocrine gland (secretes milk through ducts). While the pancreas has an endocrine part (islets of Langerhans), the question is about well - known endocrine glands. Also, the ovaries are endocrine (produce estrogen and progesterone), but the combination with mammary gland (exocrine) makes this option incorrect for a list of well - known endocrine glands.
- The pituitary gland (master gland that controls many other endocrine functions), thyroid gland (produces thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism), and adrenal glands (produce hormones like cortisol and adrenaline) are all well - known endocrine glands.
