Accepted Answer

The pituitary gland, also known as the hypophysis, is divided into two lobes (anterior and posterior), and is responsible for secreting a variety of hormones that regulate growth, metabolism, and other physiological processes in the body. The pineal gland is a small endocrine gland located in the brain that secretes the hormone melatonin, which regulates sleep-wake cycles. The adrenal glands are located on top of the kidneys and secrete hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. The ovaries are part of the female reproductive system and secrete estrogen and progesterone.
