The endocrine system is a collection of glands that secrete a variety of hormones, which travel to specific target organs via the bloodstream. Endocrine glands tend to be vascular and do not have ducts. The hormones of endocrine glands are stored in vacuoles or granules, ready to be released.
The endocrine system helps regulate bodily functions through hormone secretion. Learn about the organs and hormones involved, as well as how they work.

The endocrine system produces hormones in the body. Learn more about the glands in this system and the types of endocrine disorders and conditions.
Here, we will discuss the microscopic appearance of three components of the endocrine system: the parathyroid, thyroid and suprarenal glands. Parathyroid gland. Glandula parathyroidea. 1/15. Synonyms: Glandula parathyreoidea. The parathyroid glands are four small circular glandular structures embedded in the posterior surface of the thyroid gland.
The hypothalamus and the pituitary are partners, working together to release hormones that regulate all sorts of things, such as body temperature; blood osmolarity, or how concentrated or dilute the blood is; how the body responds to stress; or even if there’s some sort of danger.
