PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -While many parts of the body make hormones, the major glands that make up the endocrine system are the: hypothalamus. pituitary. thyroid.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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.
