GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Endocrine glands, which are special groups of cells, make hormones. The major endocrine glands are the pituitary, pineal, thymus, thyroid, adrenal glands, and pancreas. In addition, men produce hormones in their testes and women produce them in their ovaries.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your endocrine system is made up of several organs called glands. These glands, located all over your body, create and secrete (release) hormones. Hormones are chemicals that coordinate different functions in your body by carrying messages through your blood to your organs, skin, muscles and other tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -Despite its small size, the pituitary is often called the “master gland.” The hormones it makes control many other endocrine glands.

Detailed explanation-4: -The endocrine system is made up of seven different glands that make chemicals called hormones. Hormones are substances that act as “messengers” to control many body functions.
