The statement "the glands are male or female" is incomplete. While some glands are associated with specific sexes, many glands are present in both males and females. For example:
- Endocrine glands like the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands are common to both sexes.
- Mammary glands are present in both males and females, but they are rudimentary in males.
- Dermal glands, such as sweat glands, are found in both sexes.
However, some glands are specific to a particular sex:
- Testes are the male reproductive glands.
- Ovaries are the female reproductive glands.
Therefore, to determine if a gland is "male or female," you need to specify the gland in question.
