The gonads, which include the testes in males and ovaries in females, produce hormones such as testosterone and estrogen that regulate sexual development and the growth of sex organs. The pancreas produces insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels, the adrenal glands produce hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol to respond to stress, and the posterior pituitary releases hormones such as oxytocin and vasopressin that regulate functions such as milk production and water balance, but not sexual development or growth of sex organs.
