    The endocrine system is made up of glands that produce hormones and regulate bodily functions. The major glands include the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testes. The pituitary gland is located in the brain and is divided into the adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis portions. The thyroid gland, adrenal glands, ovaries, and testes are all peripheral glands that play important roles in growth, metabolism, and sexual development.
