    The endocrine system is made up of glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream to regulate various bodily functions including mood, growth, development, metabolism, and reproduction. Some of the major glands and hormones discussed include the thyroid gland which secretes T3 and T4 to regulate metabolic rate, the thymus gland which helps develop the immune system, the pancreas which secretes insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar, the adrenal glands which secrete cortisol and aldosterone among other hormones, the ovaries and testes which produce sex hormones, and the pituitary gland which regulates many other glands.
