dMore than one of the above
eNone of the above
Explanation
The lacrimal gland (tear gland) is not an endocrine gland. These glands are located above each eyeball, due to which tears are secreted in each eye. They are present in the upper outer (lateral) region of each eyeball. An endocrine gland is a ductless gland, which releases hormones directly into the blood. The organized endocrine glands in our body include the pituitary, pineal, thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, parathyroid, thymus, and the gonads.
