The thyroid is a butterfly - shaped gland in the front of the neck (throat area), the parathyroid glands are small glands attached to the thyroid (also in the throat region), and the thymus is located behind the sternum (in the upper part of the throat/chest area).
- The adrenals (on top of the kidneys), pancreas (behind the stomach), testes (in the scrotum, which can be considered part of the lower abdominal - pelvic region in a broader sense for location categorization in this context), and ovaries (in the pelvic cavity, which is adjacent to the abdomen) are located in the abdomen (using a general body region categorization as per the given options).
- The pineal, hypothalamus, and pituitary are located in the brain. The pineal gland is a small endocrine gland in the brain, the hypothalamus is a part of the brain that controls the pituitary gland (also located in the brain, at the base of the brain).
