endrocrine glands


The major glands that make up the human endocrine system include the:
​
  • hypothalamus.
  • pituitary gland.
  • thyroid.
  • parathyroids.
  • adrenal glands.
  • pineal body.
  • reproductive glands (which include the ovaries and testes)
  • pancreas.
The main function of endocrine glands is to secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. Hormones are chemical substances that affect the activity of another part of the body (target site). In essence, hormones serve as messengers,controlling and coordinating activities throughout the body.
