Which organ directly secretes insulin into the bloodstream?

  1. Liver

  2. Kidney

  3. Pancreas

  4. Spleen

The correct answer is: Pancreas

Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate the amount of glucose in the blood, and it is produced and secreted by the pancreas. The liver, kidney, and spleen all play important roles in the body, but none of these organs directly secrete insulin into the bloodstream. Thus, choices A, B, and D are incorrect. The pancreas is the only organ responsible for insulin secretion, making choice C the correct answer.
