The major endocrine glands include the pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, hypothalamus, gastrointestinal tract and adrenal glands. The endocrine system is in contrast to the exocrine system, which secretes its hormones using ducts.or example the kidney secretes endocrine hormones such as erythropoietin and renin. A number of glands that signal each other in sequence are usually referred to as an axis, for example, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
In the pancreas, part of the organ is an exocrine gland (the acini) secreting and part is endocrine , i.e., the islets of Langerhans which secrete various hormones such as insulin and glucagon. In the digestive system, some cells are endocrine cells, i.e., the enteroendocrine cells. Other endocrine organs include the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pituitary gland. The thyroid gland is located dorsolateral to the trachea, close to the larynx. It has two lobes that are connected by a narrow isthmus.
