A chemical signal that has both endocrine and neural roles is
(1) melatonin
(2) calcitonin
(3) epinephrine

4. the pancreas leading to a reduction in the blood sugar levels
Injury to adrenal cortex is not likely to affect the secretion of which one of the following ?
1. Aldosterone
2. Both androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone
3. Adrenalin
4. Cortisol
Which one of the following pairs of organs includes only the endocrine glands?
