HUMAN ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

  • to connect nerve tissues together, injuries glioma

  • “GLUE”

HORMONES

  • chemical substance that help control how cell and organs do their function

  • found in glands and move through the blood system to reach the target organ

GLANDS

  • ORGANS that secrete diff susbtance such as hormone, sweat, tears, and saliva

  • 10 glands

  1. PINEAL GLAND

    • LOCATION: BRAIN

    • Melatonin - regulates sleep cycle

  2. HYPOTHALAMUS

    • LOCATION: BRAIN

    • controls the function of the pituary gland

    • Thyrotropin releasing hormones - controls the release of TSH

    • Gonadotropin releasing hormones - stimulate the production of TSH AND LH

    • Corticotropin releasing hormones- Initiates secretion of ACTH

  3. PITUARY GLANDS

    • LOCATION” BRAIN

    • Human growth hormone: promotes release of IGFs (maintains muscle and bone mass growth, healing injuries

    • Thyroid stimulating hormone - helps thyroid in secreting hormones

    • FSH - development of the ovary

    • LH - secretion of pregesterone and testostorone

    • Prolactin - production of milk during pregnancy

    • Adrenocaticotropin ACTH - producs glucoticoids, hormones adrenal gland

    • Oxytocin - activating during and after giving bith, contract uterus, and milk secretion

    • Antiduretic- causes kidney to decrease urine production

  4. THYROID GLAND

    • LOCATION: BELOW THE LARYNX - VOICE BOX

    • Butterfly shape

    • Thyroxine, triodothrine , thyroid - regulates protien sythesis oxygen use metabolism, growth development in the body

    • Calcitonin - Maintain calcium levels

  5. PARATHYROID GLAND

    • LOCATION: PASTERIOR SURFACE OF THE THYROID GLAND

    • Parathyroid Hormone - regulates calcium, magnesium and phasephate level in the blood

  6. THYMUS

    • LOCATION: BETWEEN THE LUNGS

    • Thymosin - acts as the antibody, stimulates the prod of T cells (important for the immune system

  7. ADRENAL GLANDS

    • LOCATION: ON TOP OF EACH KIDNEY

    • Adrenal cortex - outer

      • Mineralocarticoids - balance of sodium and potassium

      • Glucocotoricoids - breakdown protiens and fat

      • Androgens - secondary sec characteristics

    • Adrehal medulla

      • epinephrine (adrenelline) - norephinephrine, control heart rate

  8. PANCREAS

    • LOCATION: DUODENUM - small intestine

    • Insuline - decrease level of glucose

    • Glucogen - increase glucose

  9. GONADS

    • OVARIES PELVIC CAVITY

      • Estrogen - FSSC\

      • Progesterone - pregnancy

    • TESTES SCROTUM

      • testostorone - production of sprem
