Eye and the Endocrine System Kyle Dizon P.2

Major Structures and Functions of eye

Major glands/organs and their functions

Major functions of the endocrine system

Diseases associated with the endocrine system

Associates and helps nervous system with the body's hormones

Does everything opposite of nervous system such as slow responses and long duration of these responses

Connects with the nervous system to coordinate and integrate activity of blood cells

Addison's diseases

hyposecretory disorder of adrenal cortex which affects the glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids.

Graves' disease

constant stimulation of TH release which leads to elevated sweating, weight loss, irregular heartbeat etc.

Parathyroids

Adrenal

Thyroid

Pancreas

Pituitary

Reproductive system

Hypothalamus

Cornea

Iris

Lens

Ciliary Bodies

Pupil

Aqueous humor

Sclera

Retina

Choroid

Vascular Layer

forms middle coat of the eyeball

Forms most of vascular layer

Extension of brain that contains photoreceptors, neurons that response to light.

Forms bulk posteriorly and fibrous layer

supplies eye with nutrients and oxygen to lens and cornea and etc.

Allows light the enter the eye

encircles the eye with thick tissue that helps control the muscles of the eye

Forms the shape of the eye

Allows the change of shape based on light to help retina focus

Lets light enter the eye through certain window

Secretion and inhibition of hormones for production in the pituitary

Sends messages to other organs and also controls some of the hormones in the body. It works with the hypothalamus

Formation of white blood cells to defend the body

Take care of the development of the calcium that goes into our blood

Helps the body to create a response to stress and control some of the hormones

Releases and creates hormones for the body to be released into the blood

There are several hormones that the reproductive system is affected by in which the development of it is involved.

Names of the hormones and their target organs along with function

Growth hormone - stimulation of growth, repair, and reproduction

Adrenocorticotropic-production of hormones to adrenal cortex

TSH - stimulation of thyroid gland

Hyperthyroidism

Development of too much hormones which can lead to weight loss.

Bones and muscles

Thyroid gland

Adrenal cortex

FSH - produce gametes

Prolactin - stimulate mammary glands for breast milk production

mammary glands

Follicle cells

Luteinizing - produces sex hormones

ADH - prevents loss of water in the body

Oxytocin - releases milk during breastfeeding

Sex cells

Kidney

Mammary glands

TH - regulate the metabolism of the body

Calcitonin - antagonist to maintain homeostasis by balance of calcium

Pancreas
