    The document summarizes the major endocrine glands and their key hormones, stimuli, actions, and associated conditions. Specifically, it outlines: 1) The pineal gland produces melatonin in response to light/dark cycles, which is involved in biological rhythms. 2) The pituitary gland produces oxytocin, antidiuretic hormone, growth hormone, and others in response to various stimuli to stimulate related actions like uterine contraction and water retention. 3) The thyroid gland produces thyroxine and triiodothyronine in response to thyroid stimulating hormone to increase metabolism and growth processes.
