What are the different glands of endocrine?

Answer 1

They include:

Adrenal glands - They regulate the stress hormones, namely cortisol, produce androgens, and play a role in regulating kidney function.

Hypothalamus - In conjunction with the pituitary gland, it helps regulate sex hormones, growth and thyroid function. It produces GnRh and plays a role in regulating the menstrual cycle in women.

Pancreas - It is both an endocrine gland and an exocrine gland. As an exocrine gland, it secretes enzymes to aid in digestion. As an endocrine gland, it produces insulin to decrease blood sugar, glucagon to increase blood sugar, and two other regulatory hormones.

Parathyroid glands - They help regulate calcium levels in the body

Pituitary gland - It is the master hormone gland. It regulates growth, helps control pain, helps the body deal with stress, causes lactation, regulates the thyroid gland, and many other things. It produces Lh and FSh to regulate sex hormones, and the menstrual cycle in women. It also produces many hormones including somatotrophins (HGH and GhRh), Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), Beta-endorphin, Prolactin, Luteinizing hormone (LH, Interstitial Cell-Stimulating Hormone in males), Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), Melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSHs), Oxytocin, Antidiuretic hormone (ADH, also known as vasopressin and AVP, arginine vasopressin), melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH).

Ovaries - Female reproductive organs. As exocrine glands, they release egg cells into the fallopian tubes to make pregnancy possible. As endocrine glands, they release hormone precursors which convert to estrogen (estrone, which converts to estradiol and estriol) and progesterone. The female hormones are not only responsible for female secondary characteristics like breast growth, softer skin, and fat redistribution, but also regulating the menstrual cycle and helping enable pregnancy.

Testes - Male reproductive glands. As exocrine glands, they release sperm cells used to cause pregnancy in females. As endocrine glands, they release testosterone which cause facial hair growth, increased muscle mass, increased height in males, and increased metabolism, and other secondary sexual characteristics of males.

Thyroid glands - It regulates energy, metabolism, and calcium levels.
