I believe the answer is B. Did I get it right?
Is a kidney a gland?
Thank you Ms. Writeacher. I re-read the material and I choose A.
Good!
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand which glands are considered major glands of the endocrine system.
The endocrine system consists of several glands that produce and release hormones into the bloodstream. The major glands of the endocrine system are as follows:
1. Pituitary gland
2. Thyroid gland
3. Parathyroid glands
4. Adrenal glands
5. Pineal gland
Now, let's analyze each option:
A. Pituitary, thymus, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pineal
B. Pituitary, thymus, thyroid, kidney, adrenal, ovaries
C. Pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, gall bladder, pineal
D. Pituitary, thymus, throid, testes, small intestine, adrenal
Option A includes all the major glands: Pituitary, thymus, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pineal.
Option B includes some major glands but adds in kidney and ovaries, which are not part of the endocrine system.
Option C includes the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pineal glands, but adds the gall bladder, which is not an endocrine gland.
Option D includes the pituitary, thymus, thyroid, and adrenal glands, but adds testes and small intestine, neither of which are major glands of the endocrine system.
Given these analyses, the correct answer is A: Pituitary, thymus, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pineal.
So, your initial guess was incorrect. The correct answer is A, not B.
