Membranes and Glands

Question 19 • Health Science Concepts A1 – EDGNTY-83861 26-27

Endocrine glands do not have ducts. What is true of these glands?

Answer
A
They secrete hormones over a membrane into the bloodstream.
B
They do not produce secretions.
C
They produce secretions but do not release them.
D
They secrete hormones into the ducts of exocrine glands.

Explanation

Endocrine glands are ductless, so they release their secretions directly into nearby blood vessels rather than through ducts. Their secretions are hormones, which enter the bloodstream and travel to target cells. Therefore, the true statement is that they secrete hormones over a membrane into the bloodstream.
