Which of the following statement is incorrect?
Due to the absence of ducts, endocrine glands are ductless glands.
According to the traditional definition of a hormone, it is a substance that is created by endocrine glands, released into the blood, and then carried to a target organ that is near by.
The endocrine system is made up of dispersed tissues and cells throughout our body that produce hormones, including endocrine glands.
Hormones are substances that are not nutrients that function as intercellular messengers and are created in minute quantities.
Answers (1)
The traditional definition of a hormone is accurately described by Option (b), making it the correct choice. This description describes hormones as chemical messengers that are created by endocrine glands, released into the bloodstream, and then carried to target organs or tissues that are distal to the site of hormone release. Once the hormone has reached the intended tissue, it binds to particular receptors on the cell surface to cause the cells to react. Hence option 2 is the correct answer.
Explanation for the incorrect options :
Because it reiterates the fact that endocrine glands are ductless glands, therefore, option 1 is incorrect.
Because it reiterates the true statement that the endocrine system is made up of numerous tissues and organs distributed throughout the body, including endocrine glands, therefore, option 3 is incorrect.
The fact that hormones are chemical messengers that are created by endocrine glands in minute amounts and released into the bloodstream to act on target cells that have particular receptors for the hormones makes option 4 the incorrect option
