Which endocrine glands come in pairs?
Starting at the top, the parathyroids (two on each side of the thyroid, one on its surface, the other either on the surface or buried inside), the adrenals and the testes or ovaries.
What organ system does adrenal glands belong?
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.
What is the general function of the pituatary gland?
The pituitary gland is the master gland of the endocrine system. It is responsible for controlling growth and development, regulating other glands, and serves as storage for hormones produced by the hypothalamus.
Which endocrine gland produce epinephrine?
The adrenal glands situated on top of each kidney secrete adrenaline (epinephrine).
What are five organ systems and one organ for each?
cardiovascular - heartdigestive - stomachnervous - brain
What is the endocrine gland at the top of each kidney?

What endocrine gland at the top of each kidney?
adrenal glands.
Name of an Endocrine gland at the anterior end of each kidney?
These are the adrenal glands.
The bilobed endocrine gland located lateral to the trachea and larynx?
The bilobed endocrine gland located over and also lateral to the trachea and the larynx is called the thyroid gland. Also embedded in the thyroid gland on each side are two parathyroid glands.
What controls the endocrine system?
Endocrine system and nervous system work along with each other and they control each other.
The adrenals and pituitary are examples of endocrine glands?

Which gland is both Endocrine and Exocrine?

What is the endocrine organ found close to the kidney?
The adrenal gland or suprarenal gland sits above each kidney. They are comprised of two parts, the cortex and the medulla. The cortex is responsible for the production of corticosteroid hormones and the medulla is responsible for the production of the catecholamines, adrenaline and noradrenaline.
What is thehormone produced by an endocrine gland located below the brain?
The endocrine gland below the brain is the pituitary gland. It is split into anterior (adenohypophysis) and posterior (neurohypophysis) sections. They differ in the hormones they produce. Adenohypophysis: ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone), GH (growth hormone), Prolactin Neurohypophysis: Oxytocin, ADH (antidiuretic hormone, aka vasopressin)
Name 2 endocrine glands and there location and function?
Two endocrine glands are the hypothalamus gland and the Thyroid. The hypothalamus gland is located in the center area of the brain. It's functions are to stimulate and inhibit the release and secretion of the anterior pituitary gland. The thyroid gland is located around the esophageal area and it's functions are to release thyroxine and triiodothyronine, also know as t4 and t3 and calcitonin. The release of these hormones stimulate the energy metabolism of all cell and inhibits the breakdown of bone; causing a decrease in blood calcium concentraion.
