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.

The pituitary glands are made of the anterior lobe and posterior lobe. The anterior lobe produces and releases hormones. The posterior lobe does not produce hormones per seâthis is done by nerve cells in the hypothalamusâbut it does release them into the circulation.Hormones of the Pituitary Gland.The hormones of the pituitary gland send signals to other endocrine glands to stimulate or inhibit their own hormone production.he posterior lobe does not produce hormones per seâthis is done by nerve cells in the hypothalamusâbut it does release them into the circulation.
