the endocrine system

uses chemical signaling

(hormones, produced
by glands) while the
nervous system uses
electrical signaling
(neural impulses).
Your pineal gland, also called the
pineal body or epiphysis cerebri, is a
tiny gland in your brain that's located
beneath the back part of the corpus

Your thalamus is your body's information

lungs. It divides into the right and
left bronchi at the level of the fifth
thoracic vertebra, channeling air to
the right or left lung
Adrenal glands, also known
as suprarenal glands,
are small, triangular-shaped
glands located on top of both
kidneys. Adrenal glands
produce hormones that help
regulate your metabolism,
immune system, blood
pressure, response to stress
and other essential functions.
 The exocrine pancreas
produces enzymes that help to
digest food, particularly

pancreas makes the hormone
insulin, which helps to control
blood sugar levels.
