Adrenal gland - seen to be lies superior on each kidney, hormone produces steroid hormone and sex gland . . .

Pineal gland - this gland is located in our diencephalon. the hormone produced in this gland is melatonin. . .

Pituitary gland - this gland is normally found hang from the base of our brain.Most common Hormone produced growth hormone. . . pituitary gland can be anterior pituitary that produce (TSH) thyroid stimulating hormone, (FSH) Follicle Stimilating hormone and (PRL) prolactin

the other subdivision is neural portion called posterior pituitary,hormone produced oxytocin and (ADH) antidiuretic hormone.

Pancreas - can be found in abdomen which is close to the stomach. it releases hormones such as insulin, somatostatin and glucagon. . . it may also release small amount of blood hormones. . .

Thyroid - found in the anterior throat, the hormones produced thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) ...

Parathyroid - this gland is located at the dorsal aspect of thyroid gland. it secretion is concern to parathyroid hormone . . .

Hypothalamus - this gland is can be seen below the thalamus above the brain stem. . . it secrete the hormone of neurohormones or also known as hypothalamic releasing hormone, it produces also Corticothropin releasing hormone ( CRH) and Gonadothropin releasing hormone (GnRH). . .

Gonads

• ovary in the female and can be found at the pelvic cavity, the two hormones that it produced are estrogen and progesterone . . .
• then in male the gonad is the testes, testes produced the hormone of testosterone . ..
