    Glossary Endocrine Organ

    specialized structure that releases hormones into the bloodstream

    An endocrine organ, also known as an endocrine gland, is a specialized structure in the body that produces and releases hormones directly into the bloodstream. These hormones act as chemical messengers that regulate various physiological processes, such as metabolism, growth, and mood. Examples of endocrine organs include the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, and the pancreas.
