The major glands of the endocrine system are the pineal gland, pituitary gland, thyroid and parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, thymus, ovaries, and testes. There are also other organs in the body that have secondary endocrine functions.These organs include the heart, liver, and kidneys. Hormones can be regulated by other hormones, by glands and organs, and by a negative feedback mechanism. In negative feedback, the initial stimulus is reduced by the response it provokes.he major glands of the endocrine system are the pineal gland, pituitary gland, thyroid and parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, thymus, ovaries, and testes.

Here are some things that hormones do for the body. Remember, though, they are only the messengers that start the cells into action. They go out into the body when told to by a higher power (the gland) and it's the cell that actually does the work.ost hormones in the human body are produced by organs called ductless glands (endocrines). These include the two adrenal glands, the pituitary gland, the four parathyroid glands, the sex glands, and the thyroid gland.
