Endocrine system

The endocrine system is made up of glands that secrete hormones internally to regulate bodily functions. It includes central glands like the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and pineal gland that control peripheral glands such as the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands, gonads, pancreas, and thymus. The hypothalamus regulates the pituitary gland which controls other glands. Key hormones include growth hormone, prolactin, thyroid hormone, and those that regulate calcium levels, stress response, and sexual development.

- 2. ENDOCRINE SYSTEM it is a system of INTERNAL SECRETING GLANDS. Their secretions are called HORMONES. Hormones are biologically active substances, responsible for function of different organs
- 3. 1). CENTRAL GLANDS : - Hypothalamus - Pituitary G - Pineal gland
- 5. HYPOTHALAMU S Located in the brain just below the thalamus Functions as part of both the nervous system and the endocrine system
- 9. PITUITARY GLAND Located in the brain at the end of the stalk from the hypothalamus.
- 13. Anterior Pituitary Gland Growth Hormone (GH)- affects growth of skeletal muscles and bones Prolactin (PRL)- stimulates milk production after pregnancy Gonadotropic- regulates hormone activity of sex organs Also effects adrenal cortex and thyroid hormone release
- 14. POSTERIOR PITUTARY • The posterior pituitary gland secretes two hormones that are produced in the hypothalamus. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) Oxytocin
- 15. THYROID GLAND An irregularly shaped gland that has two lobes connected by a thin bridge in between (the isthmus) Located in the neck on either side of the trachea and across its anterior surface
- 17. Thyroid Gland Thyroid hormone Controls the rate at which glucose is “burned” Calcitonin Decreases calcium levels in blood deposition on bone
- 18. PARATHYROID GLANDS Four tiny glands Located on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland, two on each lobe
- 19. PANCREA S Located posterior to thestomach In C – likeduodenum
- 21. ADRENAL GLANDS Paired, triangular glands over the superior end of each kidney. Each gland has an outer layer (cortex) and an inner layer (medulla). Each layer functions independently of the other and secretes its own hormones.
- 22. ADRENAL GLANDS Adrenal Cortex Releases hormones that regulate mineral content in blood Adrenal Medulla Produces epinephrine and norepinephrine Helps with stressful situations
- 24. OVARIE S Small, egg-shaped glands located in the pelvic cavity Function as part of both the female reproductive system and the endocrine system
- 25. TEST ES Male genital glands, located outside the body in the scrotum
