3. Gland : Pancreas(beta cells)

Secretion: Insulin

Function/Effect on body: Promote glucose utilization by the body cells.

4. Gland: Lacrimal gland

Secretion: Tears

Function/Effect on body: It secret tears which cleanse and protect the eye's surface by lubricating and moistening it.

5. Gland: Adrenal medulla

Secretion: Adrenaline

Function/Effect on body: Adrenaline triggers the body's fight-or-flight response of the body. It increases the heart rate and cardiac output.
