The hormonal system (called the endocrine system in medical terminology) has various glands that release different hormones. Hormones are like the body’s communication system. They take messages from one part of the body (the gland) to tell another part of the body (the target cell) to do something important. The endocrine glands influence reproduction, metabolism, growth and many other functions. Below is a list of the main glands (see diagram for their location), some of the hormones they produce and what effects they have on the body. Hypothalamus: an area in the base of the brain that links the brain to the hormonal system.
Pituitary gland: a kidney bean-shaped gland in the base of the brain.
Other glandsPineal gland: a small gland near the centre of the brain.
Thyroid gland: a small gland in the front of the neck, wrapping around the windpipe.
Parathyroid glands: four small glands in the neck behind the thyroid gland.
Adrenal glands: 2 glands that sit above the kidneys on each side of the body.
Pancreas: a long gland behind the stomach, under the liver.
Ovaries (females only): 2 glands found on each side of the uterus in the pelvis.
Testes (males only): 2 glands in the scrotum, behind the penis.

I refer to the blog as a whole, and I am not discussing a specific blog post. Do I need to create an in-text citation and a reference list citation?" No. All you need to do is include the URL within the body of your paper, and you do not need to include the website and URL in your reference list at the end of the paper. In APA Style there is no specific formatting recommendations. Two examples for mentioning the entire blog, wiki or personal website. In the body of the paper: 1) At age 22, blogger Stephanee (Stephanie), started her the blog Poorer Than You (http://poorerthanyou.com). The posts are aimed at millennials and provide financial advice on a variety of topics. 2) I have learned a lot by reading the Psych Learning Curve blog (http://psychlearningcurve.org).
