Please label Endocrine Glands
Because of a pathophysiological situation, a patient's kidneys are not able to successfully participate in
turning vitamin D into its active form. Over the time, which endocrine gland will increase its secretion
in response to this situation?
Pancreas
Parathyroid gland
Adrenal gland
Posterior pituitary
An endocrinal gland with parenchyma consisting of epithelium and neural
tissue is under morphological examination. Epithelial trabecules have two
types of cells: chromophilic and chromophobic. Identify this organ:
