ance, assisted by events which produce
adrenal overwork like great or prolonged emotion, or by strain of the
pancreas, effected by over-eating for example.

There are other minor glands of internal secretions. But those
considered are by far the most important and the most recently
explored. In a summary, one would classify them as follows:

_Name Secretion Function_
1. Thyroid Thyroxin Gland of energy production
Controller of growth
of specialized organs
and tissues--brain
and sex

2. Pituitary-- Gland of energy consumption
and utilization--continued
effort
anterior Unknown Growth of skeleton and
supporting tissues
posterior Pituitrin Nerve cell and involuntary
muscle cell, brain and sex tone

3. Adrenals The Gland of Combat
cortex Unknown a. Brain growth--tone
development of
sex glands
medulla Adrenalin b. Energy for emergency
situations

4. Pineal Unknown a. Brain and sex development
b. Adolescence and puberty
c. Light and maturity

5. Thymus Unknown Gland of Childhood

6. Interstitial Testes in male Glands of secondary
glands of Ovaries in female Sex traits

7. Parathyroids Unknown a. Controllers of lime
metabolism
b. Excitability of
muscle and nerve

8. Pancreas Insuline Controller of sugar
metabolism

CHAPTER IV

THE GLANDS AS AN INTERLOCKING DIRECTORATE

Now in considering each gland of internal secretion as a separate
entity, and labelling it with certain properties and actions, we of
course commit the usual sin of the intellect: the sin of abstraction
and isolation of its material
