Endocrine System Lab

pituitary gland anteriror

(red cells) thyroid stim H, growth H, prolactin, andrenocoerticotropic H, luteinizing H, follicle stim H

syndrome of hyposecretion of growth H

dwarfism

syndrome of hypersercretion of growth H

giantism

pituatary gland posterior

H synthesis = hypothalamus - chemical class = oxytocin/antidirectic H

thyroid gland

under larynx - H = calcitonon / T3 / T4

parathyroid gland

posterior of thyroid - H released = parathyroid H

adrenal gland 3 zones

• Glomerulosa – Salt (Aldosterone)

• Fasciculata – Sugar (Cortisol)

• Reticularis – Sex (Androgens)

adrenal medulla

H released = epinephrine / norepinephrine

pancreas

islets of langerhans = endocrine part - alpha cells = glucagon - beta cells = insulin

hyposecreation from beta cells causes

diabetes type 1

resistance to beta cell secretion is

diabetes type 2

pineal gland

H release = melatonin

thymus

H released = thymosin

ovary

progesterone / estrogen

testis

testosterone
