Which of the following glands is an endocrine gland in the human body?

Correct option is B

The pituitary gland is an endocrine gland in the human body.

It is located at the base of the brain and plays a crucial role in regulating various functions by secreting hormones that control other glands, such as the thyroid and adrenal glands, and also regulate growth, metabolism, and reproduction.

The endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream, which are then carried to various parts of the body to regulate bodily functions.

• The pituitary gland is often referred to as the "master gland" because of its central role in regulating other endocrine glands in the body.
• It releases several important hormones, such as the growth hormone (GH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).

• Salivary Gland: It is an exocrine gland that produces saliva and releases it through ducts into the mouth.
• Prostate Gland: It is a male reproductive gland that produces seminal fluid.
• Sweat Gland: It is an exocrine gland that produces sweat, helping regulate body temperature.
