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.

Why are swollen glands a sign of a possible infection in the body?
Swollen glands, also known as lymph nodes, are part of the body's immune system. When there is an infection, the lymph nodes may swell as they work to trap and kill the infectious agents. This swelling is a sign that the immune system is active in fighting off the infection.
What system does skin belong to in the body?
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).
What are the names of the 3 main lymphoid glands?
The spleen, the lymph nodes, and the lymphatic vessels. There are also associated lymphatic structures including gastrointestinal associated lymphatic structures such as the tonsils, vermiform appendix, and the Peyer's patches.
How many of the organ systems can be seen from the body surface?
About 6 organ systems can be seen from the body surface - integumentary system (skin), musculoskeletal system (muscles), circulatory system (veins/arteries), nervous system (nerves), lymphatic system (lymph nodes), and endocrine system (glands).
What system assists the cardiovascular system by collecting excess tissue fluid?
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.
What system do the sweat glands belong to?
Sweat glands belong to the integumentary system, which is the body's system responsible for protecting the body from damage, such as dehydration and infection. Sweat glands help regulate body temperature by producing sweat, which cools the body through evaporation.
Are there lymph glands in the lower back?
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.
What system of the human body is blocked up during elaphantitis?

Why are swollen glands a sign of a possible infection in the body?

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 system breaks down and neutralizes poisons?
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.
What system does skin belong to in the body?
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).
Parathyroid glands belong to which organ system?
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.
What node contains specialized lymphocytes are capable of destroying pathogens?
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.
Which two body organ systems do the mammary glands belong to?
The mammary glands belong to the reproductive system and the integumentary system. They are specialized glands within the breasts that produce milk for nourishing offspring, which is essential for reproduction. The integumentary system includes the skin and its associated structures, such as hair and nails, which also encompass the mammary glands.
True or false if you have swollen glands you actually have swollen lymph nodes?
It depends on where your body is swollen. Lymph nodes are everywhere.
What body system includes lymph nodes?
