Thyroid gland: The size and shape of a pea; produces hormones that stimulate other endocrine glands. Pituitary gland (hypophysis): Is part of the sympathetic nervous system. Adrenal medulla: Produces the body's major metabolic hormones. Pancreas: Produces hormones that regulate glucose levels in the body. Parathyroid glands: Primary regulators of blood calcium levels.
