What is true regarding endocrine glands?
Endocrine glands: - are ductless ("endo" means "internal") and supply their products directly into the bloodstream, - manufacture hormones (biological chemicals that influence the operation of other organs and tissues), - include the pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands. The stomach also has endocrine activity, - are critical to bodily functions. The thyroid creates thyroxin, which regulates the body's overall metabolic rate. Low thyroxin (hypothyroidism) means low energy consumption, lethargy and weight gain, for example. A faulty pancreas leads to low insulin levels, excessive/erratic blood sugar, and diabetes, - differ from exocrine ("external") glands such as the liver, which supplies products into other body systems, such as bile into the digestive tract.

Glands also have blood vessels running throuh them so it is not difficult to enter the circulatory system where these hormones are eventually transported to all body areas.
Which endocrine organs are actually mixed endocrine and exocrine glands Which are purely endocrine?
