  • Growth and development

The glands which produces hormones are called endocrine glands. Our body's endocrine glands are pituitary gland, thymus, pineal, adrenal glands, thyroid, testes (in men), and ovaries (in women). Even minute amount of hormones can change whole body. So, these hormones are most powerful.
