Question: How do hormones secreted by major glands of the endocrine system affect the body?
Pituitary Gland: responsible for the secretion of many different hormones that affect various aspects of behavior such as the growth hormone.
Thyroid Gland: produces thyroxin which affects the body’s metabolism
Adrenal Gland: the outer layer of the adrenal gland, or cortex, secretes cortical steroids which increase resistance to stress and promote muscle development
Testes and Ovaries: produce the hormones testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone that play an important role in development of primary and secondary sex characteristics. Have psychological as well as a biological effect.

The Study of the Role of Heredity
Role of heredity in studies through various types of kinship research such as:
(1) Twin Studies (2) Adoptee Studies
(3) Twins Reared Apart
