Hormone Control
Hypothalmus
Found in the
brain
Controls the
pituitary
Controls many different hormones such as - Anti-diuretic hormone, corticotropin-releasing hormone, growth hormone-releasing hormone, oxytocin,somatostatin, and thyrotropin-releasing hormone.
Pancreas
Exocrine
helps in digestion
Endocrine
regulates the blood sugar
Testies
Sperm is produced in tubules
normally two
normally hang outside of the body in a scrotum

Endocrine gland
Adrenal , Hypothalamus , Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas , Ovaries Parathyroid , Pineal , Pituitary , Testes ,Thyroid
Example
The testes produce testosterone which allows the male sex organ to function
Example
The ovaries produce oestrogen and progesterone this breaks down the uterine walls
Ovaries
Produce Progesterone
Important in maintaining the
early stages of pregnancy
Produces Oestrogen
A sex hormone responsible responsible for
secondary sexual characteristics
.
Pituitary Gland
Located in the
brain
Produces Prolactin, FSH,LH,ADH & Oxytocin
Polactin
is important promotes mammary gland development and milk production
FSH and LH
control the growth of the gametes, reproduction and hormone levels
ADH
controls the rate of water excreted
Oxytocin
aids in milk expression
Thymus
Thyroid Gland
Follicular cells produce thyroid hormone and regulate basal metabolic rate
Adrenal Gland
Made up of two parts:
adrenal cortex
&
adrenal medulla
Adrenal cortex
produces mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and adrenal androgens
Glucocorticoids
such as cortisol regulate body metabolism
Adrenal Androgens
such as DHEA & testosterone determine sex of offspring
Mineralocorticoids
such as aldosterone help to regulate blood pressure
Adrenal medulla
produces catecholamines
Catecholamines
such as adrenaline & noradrenaline are responsible physical characteristics
Hormones
: a regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood or sap to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action.
