pituitary gland-control growth, blood pressure, thyroid glands and metabolism etc.
pancreas-secretes insulin and glucagon, control of blood sugar levels
ovaries, testes-reproductive role (release female and male hormones)
thyroid gland-controls metabolism and protein synthesis
parathyroid gland-controls Ca levels
hypothalamus-connects nervous and endocrine systems, controls other glands
adrenal glands-release adrenalin and steroid hormones.
