Endocrine glands are often called "ductless glands" because their products are secreted directly into the bloodstream. How is this an example of structure following function?

Explanation / Answer

Endocrine glands released their contents into blood when activated. Negative feedback regulates the hormonal levels in the blood. The hypothalamus releases Corticotropin-releasing hormone, which activates pitutrary to rlease Adrenocorticotropic hormone.
