The master gland is the Pituitary. Which speaks to the adrenal glands telling them how much cortisol to produce and when.
Its not the glands that excrete hormones, its called the glands that secrete hormones. Pituitary gland, the testes, thyroid gland pretty much the endocrine system.
- Over-active sweat glands. - Big, hot lights. - The action he does.
The salivary glands secrete saliva into the mouth. Saliva has much importance to survival, because it begins to break down food, as part of the digestive system, and it keeps the esophagus lubricated when food goes down. Saliva also keeps the mouth clean, because it flushes out bacteria.
Here is my BS answer followed by a good lead: Rats over time have survived mainly as decomposers much like worms and flies. They eat our waste and then break it down further, but that must require an extraordinarily wide range of foods that are edible to them. Overly developed saliva glands allowed certain rate to proliferate more and over time became intrinsic to their being.

In terms of the nervous system, muscles and glands are given the generic term effector organs. Impulses are picked up from receptors, which then travel to the brain, which sends orders along the motor neurons to these effector organs. In the case of reflex actions, however, the brain is not involved, and the process is done much faster as a result.

The Pituitary gland IS called the Master gland because it is the only gland of the endocrine system or the gland system that has an effect on other glands. It is situated at the base of the brain and is divided into three sections. The anterior pituitary, the intermediate pituitary and the posterior pituitary. The pituitary gland has an effect on the other glands in the body and controls their secretion of hormones. For instance, the anterior pituitary gland produces ACTH or adrenocorticotrophic hormone which affects the amount of corticosteroid hormone the adrenal gland secretes. The pituitary gland also produces adh or anti diuretic hormone which controls our fluid balance. This is affected by alcohol and when we have a drink it is responsible for our frequent visits to the toilet and our subsequent dehydration the next morning. The pituitary secretes growth hormone and an over-secretion of this leads to gigantism. Remember the Jaws character in the Bond movies with the steel teeth, he has gigantism. An under secretion of growth hormone leads to the opposite of Jaws and the result is dwarfism. Remember the Ompa-lumpas in Willie Wonkas Chocolate Factory?. Sorry to go on. Hope this helps.

Endocrine glands secrete hormones and exocrine glands secrete enzymes. Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the blood stream, while exocrine glands secrete enzymes through ducts. endocrine is ductless gland exocrine retain their duct, exocrine empty through their duct to epithelial such as sweat, oil, glands, liver and pancrease
A whale's mammary glands are located near the groin of the whale. Females use these glands to feed their young, much like other mammals.
no, because Cushings disease is when your adrenal glands secrete to much cortosol. Addison's disease is when your adrenal glands sucrete to little cortisol.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
One reason why is because it gets rid of salt. It isn't healthy to have too much salt in your body, so when you sweat, sweat carries out some salt with it.
