Endocrine System
In our body, the Endocrine Organ System (Glandular Organ System) is the system of endocrine glands that release the endocrine hormones directly into the circulatory system.
In our body, the Endocrine Organ System is a communication network that regulates basic drives and emotions, promotes growth and sexual identity, controls body temperature, assists in the repair of broken tissue, and helps generate energy.

Primary and Secondary Glands & Organs of the Endocrine System
In our body, the Primary and Secondary Organs of the Endocrine Organ System are:
Primary Glands & Organs: 1. Pineal gland, 2. Pituitary Gland, thyroid gland & Parathyroid Gland, 4. Pancreas, 5.Adrenal Glands, 6. Testicles (Testes), and 7. Ovaries.
