(C) temporary endocrine gland is one that functions as an endocrine organ only for a specific period during the life cycle of an organism.In humans,the $Placenta$ acts as a temporary endocrine gland during pregnancy.It produces several hormones essential for maintaining pregnancy,such as human chorionic gonadotropin $(hCG)$,human placental lactogen $(hPL)$,estrogens,and progestogens.Once the pregnancy ends and the placenta is delivered,it ceases to function as an endocrine gland.In contrast,the pineal gland,pancreas,and parathyroid glands are permanent endocrine glands that function throughout the life of an individual.
