Vedclass · Accepted Answer

Parathyroid and adrenal

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The correct answer is $C$. Parathyroid and adrenal glands are purely endocrine glands because they synthesize hormones and secrete them directly into the bloodstream to act on target organs at distant sites. Thymus,testes,ovaries,and pancreas are heterocrine or mixed glands (having both endocrine and exocrine functions) or have additional non-endocrine roles. Therefore,the pair consisting only of endocrine glands is parathyroid and adrenal.
