I live deep within the brain. I’m only about the size of a pea, but I’m very powerful. I make the hormones that help you grow, and I control the activity of other glands too. Who am I? ­­­­

I’m shaped like a bowtie or a butterfly. I’m found in your neck. I make the hormones that help you stay alert and full of energy. Who am I?

We are a set of four tiny glands that work with the thyroid to control the amount of calcium in the blood.

Who are we?

I am the largest gland in the body. I produce the hormone called insulin that helps glucose, the sugar in your blood, enter the cells of your body. I work closely with the digestive system. Who am I?
