The endocrine gland secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream. Examples of endocrine glands include the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands.
The pituitary gland produces growth hormone to stimulate growth, particularly during childhood and adolescence. It also secretes hormones that signal other glands in the body to produce their own hormones, such as thyroid-stimulating hormone which stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones.
The testes gland secretes testicles.
An endocrine gland secretes hormones into the bloodstream as oppose to an exocrine gland which secretes substances into the body cavities or skin.
The endocrine gland itself is not a hormone, though secretes hormones.
The thyroid gland secretes hormones such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) that play a key role in regulating metabolism in the body. These hormones control how the body uses energy, affecting processes like heart rate, body temperature, and calorie burning.
The pituitary gland is responsible for stimulating growth and secretion of hormones from other glands in the body. It releases various hormones that regulate functions such as growth, reproduction, and metabolism.
