which is an endocrine function?
a. the pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream.
b. pyloric glands release mucus to the stomach.
c. salivary glands release saliva into the mouth.

Explanation:

Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. The pancreas, as an endocrine gland, releases insulin (a hormone) into the bloodstream. Options B, C, and D involve exocrine glands (which secrete substances through ducts to a body surface or cavity, like mucus to the stomach, saliva to the mouth, or sweat to the skin), not endocrine functions.

A. The pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream
