Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)-Functions, Regulation, Cushing Syndrome & Addison's Disease [ENG] by Dr. Shikha Parmar
The endocrine system is a network of glands in our body that make the hormones that help cells talk to each other. They’re responsible for almost every cell, organ, and function in our body. A gland is an organ that makes and puts out hormones that do a specific job in your body. Endocrine glands release the substances they make into our bloodstream.
Endocrine glands are ductless glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood. The major glands of the endocrine system include the pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, hypothalamus and adrenal glands. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland are neuroendocrine organs.
