Question

Name the gland which is located under corpus callosum
A) Adrenal gland
B) Thyroid gland
C) Pineal gland
D) Thymus gland

Answer 1

Hormone are the chemical messengers present in an organism. In humans hormones are secreted in a specialised region which is situated in multiple regions of the body known as Glands. These glands are responsible for the production and secretion of hormones based on the type situation the body comes across. If they release hormone to organs through a pipeline known as ducts then such glands are called as exocrine glands or if they release the hormone to blood then they are known as ductless glands or endocrine glands.

Complete answer:
Glands are responsible for the production and secretion of hormones based on the type situation the body comes across. If they release hormone to organs through a pipeline known as ducts then such glands are called as exocrine glands or if they release the hormone to blood then they are known as ductless glands or endocrine glands.

Adrenal glands are present above the kidneys and hence known as suprarenal glands, they are endocrine glands and thus release their secretions to bloodstream directly, Adrenal glands secrete adrenaline hormone, steroid aldosterone and cortisol.

Thyroid gland it’s situated at the next region and is present as two lobes, this is an endocrine gland which releases its secretion into blood stream directly, the presence of this gland at the beach results in the bulging of neck and that is generally known as Adam’s apple.

Thyroid glands secrete three hormones, which includes two thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) and one peptide hormone known as calcitonin. Each hormone has different functions. Thymus is a part of the lymphatic system it is a primary lymphoid organ responsible for the thymus selection of helper T cells which is involved in maintaining immunity of an individual.Pineal gland is present under the corpus callosum

Hence the correct answer is option C.

Note: Pineal gland is a very small pea shaped structure which is present in the brain and are responsible for the secretion and production of some hormones such as melatonin which is responsible for sleep patterns or cardiac rhythm( sleep patterns are also known as cardiac rhythm).
