Glands of the Endocrine System. Each gland of the endocrine system releases specific hormones into your bloodstream. These hormones travel through your blood to other cells and help control or coordinate many body processes. Endocrine glands include: 1  Adrenal glands: Two glands that sit on top of the kidneys that release the hormone cortisol. 2  Hypothalamus: A part of the lower middle brain that tells the pituitary gland when to release hormones. 3  Ovaries: The female reproductive organs that release eggs and produce sex hormones.
