Dear student,

Endocrine glands are glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood rather than through a duct. The main endocrine glands include the pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands. The hypothalamus is a neuroendocrine organ. Other organs which are not so well known for their endocrine activity include the stomach, which produces such hormones as ghrelin


1 Pineal gland
2 Pituitary gland
3 Thyroid gland
4 Thymus
5 Adrenal gland
6 Pancreas
7 Ovary (female)
8 Testes (male)

All the best
