Explanation:

Hypothalamus is present below the thalamus of the brain. The pituitary gland is present at the base of the brain in the hypophyseal fossa. Adrenal glands are the paired glands. One adrenal gland lies superior to each kidney in the retroperitoneal space.

The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland and is located just inferior to the larynx in the neck. The right and left lateral lobes of this gland are present on either side of the trachea. The pancreas is usually connected to the duodenum of the small intestine by two ducts. This arrangement releases the pancreatic juice into the small intestine.
