Glandular System (Fewer Glands)
■■■■■
A general memory of a simpler endocrine system with fewer distinct glands than the full anatomical reality, overlooking minor but important ones.

What People Remember
People sometimes recall a simplified version of the endocrine system, remembering only a few major glands.

What's Actually True
Beyond the major glands (thyroid, adrenals, pituitary), the endocrine system includes many other hormone-producing tissues like the parathyroid glands, pancreas, gonads, and even parts of the gut and kidneys.
