Which of the following statements is not true about endocrine glands?

  • A.Pancreas and adrenals are endocrine glands.
  • B.Endocrine glands secrete hormones through ducts.
  • C.Pituitary gland is attached to the brain.
  • D.Endocrine glands secrete hormones.

Answer: B

The statement that is not true is Endocrine glands secrete hormones through ducts.

Endocrine glands are ductless glands. They release their hormones directly into the blood, which carries them to target organs. Glands that pour their secretions through ducts, such as salivary and sweat glands, are exocrine glands.

The other statements are true. The pancreas (which secretes insulin) and the adrenal glands are endocrine glands. The pituitary gland is attached to the base of the brain. Endocrine glands secrete hormones.
