Answer 2

Endocrine gland found in the neck is thyroid gland.
Now let's see in a bit more detail of what is thyroid gland and where it is exactly located:

Thyroid gland originated from the endoderm of the embryo.
It is located to the anterior location to the Thyroid cartilage of the larynx (voice box which contain vocal cords) in the neck.
It is also known as the largest endocrine gland which is a bilobed organ having two lobules or lobes connected by a narrow structure called the isthmus.
They function as the regulators of the metabolic rate of the body and thus maintain basal metabolic rate (Abrrevated as BMR) and also increase the action of neurotransmitters like adrenaline and noradrenaline. They increase the heart production, thus maintaining a perfect body temperature.
