The function of the adrenal gland is to secrete hormones.
Organs and glands secrete hormones, which means they release them into the bloodstream.
Ovaries
Hypothalamus and pituitary gland secrete hormones and regulate other endocrine organs. They are the main regulatory organs of the endocrine system
Pituitary Gland
Many of the digestive organs secrete hormones. Additionally hormones secreted in the hypothalamus activate acid secretion in the stomach and trigger fullness/hunger.
There are actually three organs that secrete digestive substances into the small intestine to help digest proteins, carbohydrates and fats. These organs are: - the liver - the pancreas - the gallbladder
The ovaries secrete progesterone and Oestrogen, the testes secrete testosterone and oestrogen. These are known as androgenic hormones.
endocrine system
Glands that secrete hormones do that into the blood, not into ducts. Hormones are not secreted into ducts. glands that secrete into ducts are called exocrine glands. Glands that secrete hormones are endocrine glands.
They are the target organs. Hormones act on the target organs
They are called glands and they make up the endocrine system. Some glands are the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, the thyroid and parathyroids, the adrenal glands, the pineal body and the ovaries and testes.
