  1. The Endocrine System

  2. The word ‘endocrine’ means ‘internal secretion’ and the organs of this system are therefore glands of internal secretion. Although the glands are found all over the body they all influence one another.

  3. The endocrine gland that controls the functions of all the other endocrine glands in this system, the pituitary or master gland, is found in the brain. The pituitary gland is a tiny organ, the size of a pea, found at the base of the brain. As the “master gland” of the body, it produces many hormones that travel throughout the body, directing certain processes or stimulating other glands to produce other hormones.
