What type of glands releases hormonal secretions directly into the bloodstream?

Exocrine glands
Endocrine glands
Salivary glands
Dermal glands

The correct answer is: Endocrine glands

Endocrine glands are specialized organs that release hormones directly into the bloodstream. This process allows hormones to travel throughout the body to target organs and tissues, facilitating various physiological functions such as growth, metabolism, and mood regulation. Unlike exocrine glands, which secrete their substances through ducts to specific areas, endocrine glands operate without ducts, allowing for more widespread distribution of their hormonal products. This capability is crucial for maintaining homeostasis and coordinating complex bodily processes. The other types of glands mentioned do not have this direct hormonal secretion function and are involved in different types of secretion or localized functions.
