A
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The endocrine system is made up of a group of ductless glands that produce and secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. While the pituitary, parathyroid, and pancreas are all considered endocrine glands, the hypothalamus is not. Although the hypothalamus is not classified as an endocrine gland, it is still an important part of the endocrine system as it helps to regulate and control the release of hormones from the pituitary gland.
