The human endocrine system is made up of several glands that produce hormones to regulate bodily functions. Key glands include the pineal gland, pituitary gland and hypothalamus, thyroid and parathyroid glands, thymus, pancreas, adrenal glands, and testicles/ovaries. Together these glands secrete hormones that control metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood.
