==Endocrine glands==
* By comparison to mammals the '''thyroids and parathyroids''' of lizards may have different morphology. The thyroids are involved in control of ecdysis but the parathyroids have a similar role to the parathyroids of mammals. The thyroids may be single, bilobed or paired and the parathyroids are paired.
* The '''adrenals''' are paired and located in the mesorchium or mesovarian and must be avoided during neutering.
* The '''pancreas''' is usually attached to the duodenum and may be pale pink in colour.
