Question

Identify the human glands in body : \[ \begin{aligned} A.&\ \text{Alveoli} B.&\ \text{Hypothalamus} C.&\ \text{Adrenal} D.&\ \text{Pancreas} E.&\ \text{Liver} \end{aligned} \] Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

• A. B, C, D only
• B. A, C, E only
• C. B, D, E only
• D. D, E, A only

Hint:

The hypothalamus controls many endocrine functions and helps regulate hormone secretion in the body.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Glands are specialized organs that produce and release hormones or secretions. The endocrine system contains several important glands responsible for regulating body functions. Examples of endocrine glands include: \[ \text{Hypothalamus, Adrenal gland, and Pancreas} \] Alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs, while the liver is primarily a digestive and metabolic organ rather than a primary endocrine gland in this context.

Step 1: Identify the endocrine glands.
Among the given structures: \[ \text{Hypothalamus, Adrenal, and Pancreas} \] function as glands.

Step 2: Eliminate non-gland structures.

• Alveoli are involved in gas exchange in the lungs.
• Liver performs metabolic and digestive functions.

Step 3: Choose the correct combination.
Thus, the correct set is: \[ B, C, D \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(A)\ B, C, D\ \text{only}} \]
