About The Endocrine System

This part of the human body consists of the tissues that make and spread hormones. They’re the chemicals that rule over different functions in your body by sending signals through the bloodstream to the organs, skin, muscles, etc. Your hormones control your metabolism, energy levels, sexual appetite, response to injuries, emotional moods, etc.

Anatomy Of The Endocrine System

Hypothalamus

It is located in the base of the brain, close to the optic chiasm where the nerves behind the eyes cross each other.

Pineal body

The pineal body is in the mid part of the brain, below the corpus callosum.

Pancreas

The pancreas is found behind the stomach, playing a relevant role in digestion and hormone production.

Ovary

The ovaries are located on the sides of the uterus, under the entrance of the fallopian tubes.

Testis

A man’s testes are inside of a pouch that hangs suspended outside the male penis.

Pituitary

The pituitary gland is found below the brain. Normally not bigger than a pea, it controls other endocrine glands’ actions.

Thyroid and parathyroid

The thyroid gland and parathyroid glands are in the front of the neck, right below the larynx (vocal box).

Thymus

The thymus is located in the top part of the chest, producing white cells that heal infections and get rid of abnormal cells.

Adrenal gland

The adrenal glands are sitting at the top of the kidneys. They work along with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.
