Hormones
Gland What it Regulates
Pituitary “Master Gland” that regulates all other Endocrine
Glands, also releases growth hormone

Thyroid Metabolism, body heat, bone growth

Parathyroids Influences of Calcium levels throughout the body
Hypothalamus Links nervous system to endocrine system
Adrenal Response in emergency or stressful situations,
metabolism, blood pressure, salt balance

Pancreas Blood sugar

Ovaries Production of eggs; female characteristics; estrogen

Testes Production of sperm; male characteristics;

testosterone
Thymus Body’s ability to fight infections
Pineal Influences the sleep-wake cycle
