The major endocrine glands include the pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, hypothalamus, gastrointestinal tract and adrenal glands. The endocrine system is in contrast to the exocrine system, which secretes its hormones using ducts.or example the kidney secretes endocrine hormones such as erythropoietin and renin. A number of glands that signal each other in sequence are usually referred to as an axis, for example, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
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. It controls a multitude of important functions in the body. 2  The pituitary gland is termed the Master Gland because it directs other organs and endocrine glands to suppress or induce hormone production.
