Solution


Q.

The posterior pituitary gland is not a ‘true’ endocrine gland because                 [2016]
1 it is provided with a duct  
2 it only stores and releases hormones  
3 it is under the regulation of hypothalamus  
4 it secretes enzymes  

Ans.

(2)

Posterior lobe of pituitary gland does not secrete any hormone. Its hormones are synthesised by the hypothalamus. It only stores and releases these hormones. Hence, it cannot be considered as true gland.
