the pancreas
The pancreas is the gland that is important in regulating glucose levels in the body. It secretes insulin to help lower blood glucose levels and glucagon to raise blood glucose levels as needed.
The parathyroid gland is responsible for regulating the amount of calcium in the blood. It releases parathyroid hormone (PTH) which helps to control calcium levels by affecting the bones, kidneys, and intestines.
The parathyroid glands are located beside the thyroid gland. They are small glands that are responsible for regulating calcium levels in the body.
Parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland produce calcitonin.
The adrenal glands are responsible for regulating acid-base balance in the body, including during acidosis. They secrete hormones like aldosterone and cortisol that help maintain proper pH levels in the blood.
The parathyroid glands are small glands attached to the back surface of the thyroid gland. They are responsible for regulating calcium and phosphorus levels in the body by producing parathyroid hormone (PTH).
The thymus gland is responsible for regulating the immune system. The thymus gland is located in the upper chest cavity.
ADRENAL
The major organs in the endocrine system responsible for regulating hormones in the body are the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, and ovaries/testes.
The thymus gland is responsible for regulating the immune system. The thymus gland is located in the upper chest cavity.
Mineralocorticoids, such as aldosterone, are responsible for regulating electrolyte and fluid balance in the body. They promote reabsorption of sodium ions and water in the kidneys, while increasing excretion of potassium ions. This helps to maintain proper blood pressure, blood volume, and electrolyte levels.
The parathyroid gland is located behind the thyroid gland. There is typically four of them and they are about the size of a grain of rice.
