AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The pituitary gland and the hypothalamus-are located in or near the brain. The hypothalamus and the pituitary gland are like orchestra conductors. Their job is to tell other endocrine glands throughout the body to make the hormones that affect and protect every aspect of your health.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your thyroid is an important endocrine gland that makes and releases certain hormones. Your thyroid’s main job is to control your metabolism-how your body uses energy. Sometimes, your thyroid doesn’t work properly. These conditions are common and treatable.

Detailed explanation-3: -Similarly, the thyroid, pineal, and adrenal glands also secrete their products into the bloodstream. However, the sebaceous glands have ducts that are connected to the hair shafts where the products are secreted out. So, the sebaceous glands are not endocrine glands.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pituitary gland does not occur in pairs, while the adrenal gland, testis (in male) and ovary (in female) do.
