The hormonal system (called the endocrine system in medical terminology) has various glands that release different hormones. It's the way in which one part of the body (the gland) tells another part of the body (the target cell) to do something important. The endocrine glands influence reproduction, metabolism, growth and many other functions.

Below is a list of the main glands (see diagram for their location), some of the hormones they produce and what effects they have on the body.

Adrenal glands

major hormones — adrenaline, noradrenaline, cortisol, aldosterone

influences — stress response and blood pressure/salt control

Thyroid gland

major hormones — tri-iodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), calcitonin

influence — metabolism, bone health.
