Thymus gland
Pineal body
Reproductive glands

2. Endocrine glands
The endocrine system is the collection of glands of an organism that secrete hormones directly into the circulatory system to be carried towards distant target organs.
Hormones -a regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action.
They are chemical messengers of the body that transfers information from one set of cells to another.

Pituitary gland
Thyroid gland
Parathyroid gland
Pancreas
Adrenal gland
Thymus gland
Pineal body
Reproductive glands-testes & ovaries

5. Hypothalamus Location-basal part of diencephalon in forebrain.
Two types- Releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones 
Hormones whose main purpose is to control the release of other hormones, either by stimulating or inhibiting their release .

6. Hypothalamus Releasing hormones Inhibiting hormones
Stimulates the secretion of pituitary hormones
Inhibits the secretion of pituitary hormones
GnRH- Gonadotropin releasing hormones
Somatostatin
GnRH stimulates the release of gonadotrophins from pituitary
Somatostatin inhibits the release of growth hormone from pituitary

8. Pituitary gland
Sellatursica

9. Pituitary gland
Master gland
Trophic hormones
It controls the activity of many other hormones of endocrine system.
It works by receiving message to release the required hormone that causes the manufacture and release of the hormone.
Two parts
Adenohypophysis
Neurohypophysis

10. Pituitary gland

11. Pituitary gland Pituitary Adenohypophysis
Pars distalis (anterior pituitary)
Growth hormone
Prolactin
TSH
Adenocorticotrophic hormone
Luteinizing hormone
Follicle stimulating hormone
Pars intermedia
Neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary)
Stores and releases oxytocin and vasopressin

Secretes-hormone-melatonin
Functions
1-regulates diurnal-day to day routine
2-influences metabolism, pigmentation and menstrual cycle.
