This gland is located in the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone. It hangs from the hypothalamus by the infundibulum.
Pituitary gland
this gland consist of two lobes joined by an isthumus. it is located in the throat region just inferior to the larynx and the anterior of trachea
Thyroid gland
inbedded in the thyroid gland
The four parathyroid glands
these glands are bean-shaped structures located superior to the kidneys
Adrenal glands
combination digestive and endocrine gland lies in the curve of the duodenum
pancreas
This gland lies in the thoracic cavity, just ventral to the heart (atrophies with age)
thymus
this gland is found in the posterior portion of the third ventricle of the brain
pineal gland
these female glands are located very low in the pelvis
ovaries
these male glands are suspended in the scrotum, inferior to the pelvic cavity
testes
rather nondescript area in the floor and the lower wall of the third ventricle of the brain
hypothalmus
thyroid gland is composed of many spherical hollow sacs called thyroid follicles. In this tissue section, each follicle (A) appears as an irregular circle of cells. The principal cells, which surround the follicle are simple cuboidal epithelium. These follicles are filled with a colloid (B), which usually stains pink. The principal cells use the thyroglobulin and iodide stored in the colloid to produce the primary thyroid hormones - including thyroxine
Between these follicles are the parafollicular cells (C) which produce calcitonin.
Islet of langerhans- secrete insulin and glucagon
Ascinus- secrete digestive enzymes (typical cuboidal cells that form tubes)
