Study Notes
Endocrine Gland Classification
- Central endocrine glands: classified as Hypophysis (Pituitary gland) and Epiphysis (Pineal gland)
- Peripheral endocrine glands dependent on Hypophysis: classified as Thyroid, Adrenal, and Gonads
- Endocrine gland classification based on the place of endocrine disorder: classified as Primary and Secondary
- Primary hypofunction or hyper-function: caused by a disorder in the endocrine gland itself
- Independent of Hypophysis: classified as Pancreas, Parathyroid, and Adrenal Cortex
