This complex secretes several hormones that directly produce responses in target tissues, as well as hormones that regulate the synthesis and secretion of hormones of other glands. In addition, the hypothalamus–pituitary complex coordinates the messages of the endocrine and nervous systems.

It is often called the “master” endocrine gland because it controls many of the other endocrine glands in the body. However, we now know that the pituitary gland is itself controlled by the hypothalamus.

The nervous system is divided into 2 parts: the central nervous system, consisting of the brain and spinal cord and the peripheral nervous systemconsisting of nerves connected to the brain and spinal cord.

Because of the high pressure of the blood in the glomerulus and the large size of the pores in the glomerulus/capsule-filtering device, an enormous volume of fluid passes into the kidney tubules.

The parathyroid glands situated adjacent to the thyroid glands in the neck produce parathormone that regulates blood calcium levels and the excretion of phosphates. The follicle cells of the developing ova produce oestrogen, which controls the development of the mammary glands and prepares the uterus for pregnancy.

It emphasizes the roles of major glands like the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, and pancreas, with the pancreas highlighted for its dual function in digestion and hormone regulation. The summary also notes the contributions of organs such as the heart and kidneys, underscoring the intricate complexity of the system.
