Call me old-fashioned, I donât care. I like Claude Monetâs work among many of the Impressionists just like millions (Iâm guessing) of other people on the planet. One of the things that I have been curious about was his color palette.
Mixed endocrine and exocrine glands are the pancreas, ovaries and testes they produce hormones but are also involved in other roles. Pure endocrine glands are the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal cortex, thymus and pineal their only function is to create hormones.
In addition to the specialised endocrine organs mentioned above, many other organs that are part of other body systems, such as bone, kidney, liver, heart and gonads, have secondary endocrine functions. For 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.he pituitary gland (or hypophysis) is an endocrine gland about the size of a pea and weighing 0.5 grams (0.018 oz) in humans. It is a protrusion off the bottom of the hypothalamus at the base of the brain, and rests in a small, bony cavity (sella turcica) covered by a dural fold (diaphragma sellae).
