Glands and there location

There are two different types of glands in the endocrine; the first one is endocrine. Endocrine glands make hormones that go into your body. The other type is, exocrine; exocrine glands are outside of your body. Hormones are basically the messenger in the human body. Hormone levels can be effected by all sorts of things (even stress). The "boss" of the glands or the "Master gland" is called the pituitary gland.This is located on the bottom of your brain.This gland is so important because it tells when and also how much of every hormone to make. Also the growth hormone is probably the most important hormone of the pituitary gland. The way that this hormone effects the body is because it can effect the size and shape of your bones so it effects your height.The ammount of hormones effects the size of the person: Small ammount=shorter and large ammount= taller.

Also the penil gland controls sleep regulation and the thymus gland makes white blood cells.
You can see that the pineal gland is at the bottom of your brain.
You can see her that the thymmus is located in your neack right next to your thyroid.
