Detailed explanation-1: -Brown-Séquard, Father of Endocrinology.
Detailed explanation-2: -The pituitary gland consists of two primary organs: the anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis or pars distalis) which is a true endocrine gland, and the posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis) which is formed from neural tissue and is an extension of the hypothalamus (Figure 3.1).
Detailed explanation-3: -Oxytocin and vasopressin are produced by the hypothalamus but stored and are released into the bloodstream through the posterior pituitary. That is the reason why it is not a true endocrine gland. Endocrine glands are the ductless glands that produce and release hormones in the blood directly.
Detailed explanation-4: -The endocrine system regulates the metabolic activities of the body like body growth, sexual development & other biological processes. The endocrine gland signalling is slow but its effects are prolonged. Some of the major endocrine glands are the Pituitary, Pineal, Thyroid, Thymus, Gonads, etc.
