Question 4 • Medical Terminology - EL3620

Which statement best describes the adrenal glands and the thyroid?

Answer
A
Adrenal glands and the thyroid are located in the brain.
B
Adrenal glands and the thyroid both secrete hormones.
C
Adrenal glands are in the brain, and the thyroid is in the throat.
D
Adrenal glands regulate stress, and the thyroid produces ova.

Explanation

Both the adrenal glands and the thyroid are endocrine glands, so they secrete hormones into the body. The adrenal glands sit above the kidneys, and the thyroid is in the neck—not the brain. The thyroid produces hormones, not ova, so B is the best description.
