The correct answer is: **Endocrine glands release chemicals into the bloodstream.**
Endocrine glands are specialized organs that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream, which then transport these chemicals throughout the body to regulate various functions. In contrast, other glands, such as sweat glands, are exocrine glands that release their secretions through ducts to the surface of the skin or into other cavities.
