metabolism, growth and development of the human body. It helps to regulate many body functions by constantly releasing a steady amount of thyroid hormones into the bloodstream
parathyroids.

adrenals.
produce hormones that help regulate your metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, response to stress and other essential functions.
pineal body.
produces and regulates some hormones, including melatonin. Melatonin is best known for the role it plays in regulating sleep patterns
