Pituitary gland: It secretes a growth hormone(GH).
It is required for proper body growth.
Thyroid gland: It produces a hormone called thyroxine., required for regulating metabolism in the body.
Parathyroid Gland: secrete parathyroid hormone or parathormone (PTH).
This hormone regulates the level of calcium ions in the bloodstream.
Pancreas
I t produces two hormones- Insulinand Glucagon.
These hormones maintain blood sugar level .
Adrenal Gland: It has two parts- cortex and medulla.
Cortex secretes the hormones like cortisol that regulates the rate of metabolism
The medulla secretes a hormone like adrenaline that prepares the body to face
various stressful situations.
Gonads: it includes testes in males and ovaries in females.
Male sex hormone is testosterone. It is produced by the testes on the onset of
puberty.
Female sex hormones produced by ovaries are estrogen and progesterone.

Based on the way of secretion: Glands are two types based on secretion as
1. Exocrine glands: They secrete into a location or region of the body through a duct and their secretions are called enzymes mostly while some are non enzymes.
Types of exocrine glands and their secretions include
2.-Salivary gland: In the buccal cavity secrete saliva. This saliva has many functions.
Pancreas: Secretes enzyme amylase, trypsin and lipase. These enzymes digest carbohydrates, proteins and fats respectively.
Sperm: Sperms produce Hyaluronidase an enzyme which helps it swim in the uterine tissue to reach ova.
sweat glands: secrete sweat which acts to regulate body temperature and also excretion.
Sebaceous gland: secrete sebum in skin and the ear.
Lachrymal glands: In eye secrete water to moisten the eye.
3=Endocrine glands: Secrete into blood flowing through them, so as to let the secretion function at distant parts of the body from the gland. They are ductless glands. Their secretions are called as hormones.
Sex hormones
h) Testes: Secrete Testosterone. Produced only in males to large extent and to very small extent in women. Signals male characters like beard, muscles etc.
i) ovaries: Produce Estrogen, progesterone. Secreted only in women and regulate reproduction
All the glands are located in distinct locations in the human body. They regulate the physiology to a large extent by receiving stimulus from the brain. So we can notice that those glands present in the brain secrete hormones which go outside the brain and act on other glands distributed in different parts of the body. They travel through blood to the target organs after being released.
