HEY HERE,
THE DIFFERENT ENDOCRINE GLANDS ARE:--
PITUITARY GLAND, THYROID GLAND, PANCREASES, ADRENAL GLAND, TESTES AND OVARIES...
PITUITARY GLAND
-----------------------------
The hypothalamus is a small area of your brain. It's very important in controlling the balance of your bodily functions. It controls the release of hormones from thepituitary gland. The pituitary gland can be divided into two different parts: the anterior and posterior lobes.
Thyroid gland
The thyroid gland is a vital hormone gland: It plays a major role in the metabolism, growth and development of the human body. It helps to regulate many body functions by constantly releasing a steady amount of thyroid hormones into the bloodstream
PANCREASES
The Pancreas and Its Functions. The pancreas is an organ located in the abdomen. It plays an essential role in converting the food we eat into fuel for the body's cells. The pancreas has two main functions: an exocrine function that helps in digestion and an endocrine function that regulates blood sugar
ADERNAL GLAND
Structure. The adrenal glands are located on both sides of the body in the retroperitoneum, above and slightly medial to the kidneys. ... Each adrenal gland has two distinct parts, each with a uniquefunction, the outer adrenal cortex and the inner medulla, both of which produce hormones.
TESTES
Testicles (testes): These are oval organs about the size of large olives that lie in thescrotum, secured at either end by a structure called the spermatic cord. Most men have two testes. The testes are responsible for making testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, and for generating sperm.
The testicles are housed in the scrotumjust behind the penis. The testicles are the male gonads — the primary male reproductive organs. They have two, very important functions that are very important to the male reproductive system: they produce gametes, or sperm, and they secrete hormones, primarily testosterone.
OVARIEegg.
The ovaries have two main reproductivefunctions in the body. They produce oocytes (eggs) for fertilisation and they produce the reproductive hormones, oestrogen and progesterone. ... In theovary, all eggs are initially enclosed in a single layer of cells known as a follicle, which supports the egg.
The ovary is a ductless reproductive gland in which the female reproductive cells are produced. Females have a pair of ovaries, held by a membrane beside the uterus on each side of the lower abdomen. The ovary is needed in reproduction since it is responsible for producing the female reproductive cells, or ova.

Endocrine system is a system of isolated ductless glands that pour their secretions directly into circulatory system for passage of different targets for controlling their activities.
It is also known as hormonal system.
