After Studying the Image Below, Which of the Following Conclusions

Question

After studying the image below, which of the following conclusions can be drawn? 
A)There are only five organs that are affected by hormones. 
B)Hormones are secreted by glands and can only affect organs near the sight of secretion. 
C)Hormones are released through ducts. 
D)Endocrine glands can ultimately interact with the brain and other parts of the nervous system.

Accepted Answer

The image shows various endocrine glands and their respective hormones, along with the organs that are affected by those hormones. It can be observed that some of the organs affected are in close proximity to the gland, while others are not. Therefore, option B is not correct. The image also does not suggest that only five organs are affected, so option A is not correct. The image clearly shows that hormones are released directly into the bloodstream, not through ducts, so option C is also incorrect. Thus, the only valid conclusion that can be drawn from the image is that endocrine glands can ultimately interact with the brain and other parts of the nervous system, as some of the hormones listed in the image have effects on these organs. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
