In this chapter, we will see some glands considered peripheral compared with their "conductor of the orchestra" being the hypophysis: a gland located within the skull and which stimulates the peripheral glands according to a feedback process; itself being dependent on the hypothalamus, a nervous system. All this is only one example among all biological relations existing between our functions and acting through the role of the hormones, chemical mediators, nervous circuits, etc… with one central computer being the brain. We will also include the mammary glands.

The hypophysis (CF1) stimulates the thyroid, the suprarenal glands and the gonads. It also produces a hormone with renal tropism in order to reduce diuresis and one raising the milk production in the mammary glands. One may thus distinguish various functioning disorders but not necessarily pathological one’s: it concerns adaptations of its activity by means of hormonal feedback. The specific lesion is proliferation (hypophyseal adenoma) and especially corresponds to a conflict of feeling too small to touch the piece. In that case, it is the stimulating part of the thyroid that is affected. But other, more complex, situations are possible more in particular the intricate or multifaceted conflicts.

The THYROID comprises – such as other secreting organs – two tissues. The "acini" (CF1) proliferate during a conflict of lack or rapidity to reach a piece always escaping us. Example: continuously meeting obstacles and upsetting more and more to win one’s process, get one’s loan, have a scandal explode, etc… The hormonal level is in excess. The ancient intraglandular canals (CF2) ulcerate during an impotence conflict to act before a danger. The hormonal level is insufficient and the "cold nodes" are harmless cicatrices in themselves.

The suprarenals (CF2): conflict of taking the wrong road or the lack of dynamism to react.

The GONADS have been seen during the chapter on the genital system.

The BREAST. Considering the conflicts at the origin of its lesions, it is important to distinguish two concrete cases. As far as the glandular tissue is concerned, i.e. essentially for the acini (CF1), the conflict is of a relational nature, most often affective but not sexual. As to the intraglandular canals (CF2) the conflict is precisely an affective separation. In both cases, the laterality is significant: the right breast is the one of the partner and the left one is the one of the child, of the mother and of the "nest" (the primary territory of the woman, including everything she may relate to it in her experience, for example, her house). Finally, let us not forget that the breast is also covered with skin, with its corresponding conflicts and affections.
