The United States federal executive departments are among the oldest primary units of the executive branch of the federal government of the United States-the Departments of State, War, and the Treasury all being established within a few weeks of each other in 1789. In that sense they are the traditional units of federal administration.

The heads of the federal executive departments, known as secretaries of their respective department, form the traditional Cabinet, an executive organ that serves at the disposal of the president and normally act as an advisory body to the presidency. Therefore they report to the president.
The largest subunits of the federal executive branch are called departments. The head of the departments is called the secretary.

There are three branches to the Federal Government. The legislative (Congress), executive (the President, departments and agencies) and judicial (the courts). I would have probably only called the departments and agencies of the executive bureaucracies.
