Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thyroid gland is the largest purely endocrine gland in the body, weighing between 25-30 grams in adults. It produces hormones that regulate metabolism, growth, and development. The pancreas and adrenal glands are also endocrine glands, but they have additional functions as exocrine organs. The hypophysis (pituitary gland) is an important endocrine gland, but it is not the largest. The thymus gland is primarily a lymphatic organ and its endocrine function is secondary.
