On your first note page, draw a large table taking up the entire page. It should have four columns and eleven rows (that includes the row that you'll write the column names in).
The four columns should be labeled, in this order:- Gland
- Location
- Function(s)
- Hormone(s)
Fill in the 10 gland names below, in that first column labeled "Gland":- Pineal
- Hypothalamus
- Pituitary
- Thyroid
- Parathyroid
- Thymus
- Adrenal
- Pancreas
- Ovaries
- Testes
Once you've created your table, click the answer below to indicate that you've done so, and are ready to watch the upcoming video and fill in this table!
P.S. There will also be important information about the endocrine system and hormones that you'll need to write down on another page outside of this table! The video starts with this extra information, and then halfway through it will begin a rundown of all the major glands.
