Summary Introduction
To review:
The organs having an endocrine function.
Introduction:
A gland is a group of cells in an animal’s body that produces a substance and releases it into the bloodstream. They are classified into endocrine and exocrine glands depending on the location of the release of hormones. Hormones are protein or steroid molecules that are released by the endocrine gland.

highest levels at breakfast time and lowest around midnight.
Which statement is the most likely explanation of this
observation?
A) Negative feedback regulation of cortisol is overridden
(cancelled) by environmental stimulation during the day.
B) Cortisol is not homeostatically regulated.
C) Cortisol is regulated by positive feedback during the night and
negative feedback during the day.
