hey pre-dents,
I need a mnemonic to memorize the endocrine glands that synthesize and/or secrete hormones, and I just keep forgeting my own mnemonic that I made up so I am seeking for help...here they are:

1) pituitary
2) hypothalamus
3) thyroid
4) parathyroid
5) adrenals
6) pancreas
7) testes
8) ovaries
9) pineal
10) kidneys
11) gastrointestinal glands
12) heart
13) thymus

any help appreciated 🙁

thanks isd121 but looks like you misunderstood my question, I need a mnemonic to memorize that list of glands that I put up there not the actual hormones produced by each gland, I am not there yet
any help
thanks

You're wasting your time just memorizing what are glands. It's highly unlikely the DAT will ask a definition question like, "Out of a list of the following, which one is NOT a gland?
A. Thymus
B. Pinneal
C. Thyroid
D. Your Mom

The only questions I saw studying for and taking the DAT were things like "Which hormone is produced in the posterior pituitary?...A. Vassopressin..."

...unless you just like to memorize mneumonics?

i agree with vegasbaby- its not practical to memorize those glands.Although i have yet to take the DAT-My experience with the practice questions has shown that a more common question would be something like "which of the foll. is not produced by the posterior pituitary.Infact its easier to memorize the posterior ones -just 2 -ADH/Vasopressin and Oxytocin and all the others are anterior.
