The ovaries are the only glands found exclusively in females. These paired organs are responsible for producing eggs and hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which play crucial roles in female reproductive development and overall health.
Other glands found in both males and females:
- Thyroid gland: Produces hormones that regulate metabolism.
- Adrenal glands: Produce hormones that regulate stress response, blood pressure, and electrolyte balance.
- Pituitary gland: Known as the "master gland," it controls the function of other endocrine glands.
