Endocrine and Exocrine Glands

Pituitary gland is called master gland as it controls the functioning of other endocrine glands.

Pituitary gland influences the growth and functioning of thyroid gland. About the size of a pea, the pituitary gland is found at the base of the brain, behind the bridge of your nose. The pituitary gland is very close to another part of the brain, called the hypothalamus.  

Both the statements are correct.

This is the correct option. Pancreas and liver are the glands that are associated with the human digestive system.

Zona glomerulosa is the outermost layer of adrenal cortex. It is the major site for aldosterone synthesis and secretion, which is responsible for regulation of blood pressure. Zona fasciculata is the middle layer, which is responsible for secretion of glucocorticoids like cortisole, corticosterone, etc. The innermost layer is zona reticularis, which is responsible for secretion of androgens.

The meibomian glands or tarsal glands are a special kind of sebaceous gland at the rim of the eyelids inside the tarsal plate, responsible for the supply of meibum which is an oily substance that prevents evaporation of the eye's tear film.

Ciaccio glands or wolfring glands are small, tubular, accessory lacrimal glands found in the lacrimal caruncle of the eyelid. They are located in the upper border of the tarsus approximately in the middle between the extremities of the tarsal glands. Sometimes, they are situated slightly above the tarsus.

Lacrimal glands, that are present in our eyes, produce tears.

The liver is the largest gland in the human body. It is located in the right upper quadrant of the abdominal cavity.

Balanoglossus belongs to phylum Hemichordata, which has an excretory organ known as proboscis gland.

This is the correct option. Adrenal glands and hypothalamus do not have both exocrine and endocrine functions. Adrenal glands function only as endocrine glands and secrete adrenal hormones. Hypothalamus functions only as endocrine gland and regulates the functioning of the pituitary glands.

This is the correct option. Adrenaline hormone released from adrenal glands prepares the body for emergency situations like danger, anger, excitement, etc.

This is the correct option. Sweat glands and salivary glands are exocrine glands.

Prototherians (monotremes like platypus and echidna) have mammary glands that lack nipples. Milk is secreted onto specialized skin patches and the young lap it up. Theria includes all live-bearing mammals, Eutheria are placental mammals (with nipples), and Metatheria are marsupials (also have nipples). Option B has a typo ('utheria' should be 'eutheria').

Testes are ellipsoid glandular organs responsible for the production of sperm and testosterone.
