Location of endocrine glands
Explanation:
The pituitary gland is located in the brain, between the hypothalamus and the pineal gland, just behind the bridge of the nose. It is about the size of a pea and is attached to the brain by a thin stem of blood vessels and nerve cell projections.
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits low on the front of the neck. The thyroid lies below the Adam's apple, along the front of the windpipe.
Adrenal Glands are small, triangular shaped glands that sit atop the kidneys.
The pancreas is about 6 inches long and sits across the back of the abdomen, behind the stomach.
