An organ that produces chemicals such as hormones

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to organize a big family dinner, and you need to coordinate who brings what dish. Just like this requires clear communication and delegation to ensure everything comes together smoothly, glands in the body act as coordinators by releasing hormones to regulate various functions. In this analogy, the family members are like different parts of the body, and the coordinating messages (what to bring and when) are the chemicals or hormones produced by glands to ensure everything functions properly.
