The endocrine system of the body is the one that contains the glands. They consist of, the hypothalamus, pituitary, pineal, thyroid, thymus, pancreas, adrenals, and gonads. The gonads are the sex glands; ovaries in females and testes in males. The placenta is also considered as having some gland-like functions during pregnancy. The gastrointestinal tract also has glands that secrete digestive juices.

The endocrine system.
Lots of things. Basically, the integumentary system includes your skin (the epidermis and the dermis) and all of the glands that like in your skin (sebacous glands, apocrine glands, sweat glands, hair follicles).
The lymphatic system removes excess fluid from tissues. The lymph system is a network of organs, lymph nodes, lymph ducts, and lymph vessels that make and move lymph from tissues to the bloodstream. The lymph system is a major part of the body's immune system.
Tears are produced in the lacrimal glands.
The endocrine system is made up with a series of glands located around the body. These glands include: * Pituitary Gland * Thyroid Glands * Parathyroid Glands * Thymus * Pancreas * Adrenal Glands * Gonads Each of these glands produces hormones, which have a particular function in the body.
Sebaceous glands produce oil from the Dermis layer of the skin. The number of these glands in the skin is hard to calculate.
Yes. There are lymph glands in the lower back. The lymph system is like strings of pearls in the body. Also, each organ in the body has it's own lymph "net" around the organ. Hopefully, by now you have found some fascinateing pictures of the lymph anatomy.
The lymph glands and the lymphatic vessels get blocked in elephantiasis
The lymphatic system is the body's defense against poisons/toxins and infections. Lymph glands are located in the neck, armpit and groin. These glands trap and break down infections. Which is why the tonsils for example, the most obvious lymph glands, become large and painful when they are fighting off an infection.
Lots of things. Basically, the integumentary system includes your skin (the epidermis and the dermis) and all of the glands that like in your skin (sebacous glands, apocrine glands, sweat glands, hair follicles).
The adrenal glands belong to the endocrine organ system. This system is comprised of different glands in the body including (but not limited to) the thyroid gland, the parathyroid glands, the adrenal glands, the pituitary gland, the gonads as well as the pancreas. The adrenal glands are located on top of each kidney, deep in the abdomen.
These are called lymph nodes. Some people call them lymph glands but that is an incorrect term. They are a part of the lymphatic system, a component of the body's immune system. Swollen lymph nodes may signal an infection.
It depends on where your body is swollen. Lymph nodes are everywhere.
The parathyroid glands belong to the endocrine organ system. This system is comprised of different glands in the body including (but not limited to) the thyroid gland, the parathyroid glands, the pituitary gland, the gonads as well as the pancreas. The parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone, and help regulate the amount of calcium in the blood - which in turn governs the amount of calcium in the bones of the body.
The lymph and lymphatics are apart of the Immune system.
The lymph system is made up of ducts or tubules that carry lymph to all parts of the body.
Lymphadenectomy, also called lymph node dissection, is a surgical procedure in which lymph glands are removed from the body and examined for the presence of cancerous cells.
The term refers to lymph nodes (nodular) which are found along the lymph vessels. Lymph nodes (erroneously called lymph glands) are a part of the lymphatic system, a component of the body's immune system. The density part means that they appear darker than usual and the node may be filled with fibers. These are usually benign and not cancerous. They can interfere in the doctor's ability to read the X-Rays.
