$3$. Pineal gland: Located on the dorsal side of the forebrain.
$4$. Thyroid and parathyroid glands: Located on either side of the trachea in the neck region.
$5$. Thymus: Located between the lungs behind the sternum.
$6$. Adrenal glands: Located on the top of each kidney.
$7$. Pancreas: Located behind the stomach.
$8$. Gonads (Ovary in females and Testis in males): Located in the pelvic region.
$9$. Placenta: Develops during pregnancy to support the fetus.
