GLAND

A gland is a specialized organ in the body that produces and releases

substances, like hormones or enzymes, for various bodily functions.

There are two main types of glands.

 Endocrine Gland.
 Exocrine Gland.
ENDOCRINE GLAND

An endocrine gland is a type of gland that produces hormones and releases

them directly into the bloodstream. These hormones then travel to target
organs or cells throughout the body, where they regulate various
physiological processes such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction.
EXOCRINE GLAND

An exocrine gland is a type of gland that produces substances, such

as sweat, saliva, or digestive enzymes, and releases them through
ducts onto the body's surface or into body cavities. These
substances perform specific functions, such as cooling the body,
lubricating surfaces, or aiding in digestion.
 PINEAL GLAND

 The pineal gland is a

small endocrine gland.
 It is a pinecone-
shaped.
 The pineal gland is
about 0.3 inches long
and weighs 0.1 grams.
 located in the middle
of the human brain in

hemispheres.
MELATONIN

Melatonin is a hormone produced by

the pineal gland in the brain. Its main
function is regulating sleep-wake
cycles. Melatonin levels typically rise

wakefulness.
