Regulates other endocrine glands and controls growth, metabolism, and reproductive functions.

Produces hormones that regulate metabolism, energy levels, and overall growth and development.

Regulate calcium levels in the blood and bone metabolism through the secretion of parathyroid hormone.

Functions as both an endocrine and exocrine gland, producing insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels.

Produce hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, which help manage stress and regulate metabolism and immune response.

Produce sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, which are crucial for reproductive functions.

Secretes melatonin, which regulates sleep-wake cycles and circadian rhythms.

Plays a role in immune function by producing thymosin, which is important for the development of T-cells.

Links the nervous system to the endocrine system, regulating body temperature, hunger, and thirst.

Acts as an endocrine organ by releasing hormones like leptin, which regulates energy balance and hunger.

Known as the 'master gland', it influences other glands and controls growth, metabolism, and reproductive functions.

Responsible for hormone production that regulates metabolism and growth.

Regulate calcium levels in the blood through parathyroid hormone.

Produce hormones like cortisol and adrenaline for stress management and metabolism.

Functions as both an endocrine and exocrine gland, regulating blood sugar through insulin and glucagon.

Gonads (Ovaries and Testes)

Produce sex hormones essential for reproduction.

Secretes melatonin to regulate sleep cycles. Disorders can lead to sleep disturbances and circadian rhythm disorders.

Involved in immune function by producing thymosin for T-cell development. Thymic disorders can affect immune response.

Connects the nervous and endocrine systems, regulating temperature, hunger, and thirst.

Functions as an endocrine organ by releasing hormones like leptin, which regulates hunger.
