The word Endocrine means internal sercretion. Each gland has its own function, that is directly related to the body or to other glands.
Some secrete hormones directly into the blood stream while others secrete hormones to another gland, inturn that gland will then secrete it's own hormone into the body.
Refer to the chart for the location of each gland. If you are interested in learning more on the Endocrine System, please visit the web sites that I have provided. They are very informative and will give you more information on possible problems that can occur due to a hormonal imbalance.
