Endocrine System MCQ Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is NOT a gland in the endocrine system?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Kidney gland. The endocrine system consists of glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream to regulate various bodily functions. The kidney is not a gland; it is an organ responsible for filtering waste from the blood and producing urine. The adrenal gland, thyroid gland, and pituitary gland are all part of the endocrine system as they secrete hormones. In summary, the kidney does not secrete hormones and therefore is not considered a gland in the endocrine system.
