Which one of the following pairs of organs includes only the endocrine glands?

  1. Thymus and testes
  2. Adrenal and ovary
  3. Parathyroid and adrenal
  4. Pancreas and parathyroid

Answer

(3) Parathyroid and adrenal

Solution

Testes and ovaries also produce gametes (exocrine function), and the pancreas is a composite (heterocrine) gland: its exocrine part secretes pancreatic juice.

As per NCERT, the parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH) and the adrenal glands secrete adrenaline, noradrenaline and corticoids; both are purely endocrine.

∴ The pair 'parathyroid and adrenal' includes only endocrine glands.

Answer: (3)
