Answer:

D) The gland produces and secretes its product into the blood.

Explanation:

Endocrine glands are the ductless glands. They do not have ducts to deliver their secretions to the target cells but directly release them into the blood. The secretions of endocrine glands are called hormones. To be an endocrine gland, the mentioned long oval structure should lack ducts and release its hormone/s directly into the blood. For example, the thyroid gland is an endocrine gland and releases its hormone thyroxine directly into the blood to be carried to the target body cells.

Why do you get thirsty after eating salty food osmosis.
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

As the saltier blood circulates through the body, it makes the fluid outside of our body cells saltier than the fluid inside the cells. The cells notice the change right away. That's because the extra salt outside acts like a magnet, pulling water out of the cells.
