The pituitary (hypophysis) is a pea-sized endocrine gland at the base of the brain, behind the bridge of the nose, and directly below the hypothalamus. It sits in an indent in the sphenoid bone called the sella turcica.
The thyroid gland is a small organ that's located in the front of the neck, wrapped around the windpipe (trachea). It's shaped like a butterfly, smaller in the middle with two wide wings that extend around the side of the throat.
The pancreas is the organ situated in the upper left side of the abdominal cavity, between the limbs of 'C' shaped Duodenum, below the stomach.
The adrenal glands lie above the kidneys. The adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are endocrine glands that produce a variety of hormones including adrenaline and the steroids aldosterone and cortisol.
The pituitary is located at the base of the brain. The thyroid is located around the trachea. The pancreas is located below the stomach and adrenal glands above the kidney.
