The Endocrine System
Endocrine organs
pineal gland
thyroid gland
thymus
hypothalamus
pituitary gland
parathyroid gland
pancreas
adrenal gland
testis/ovaries
Pituitary Gland
FSH
stimulates egg and releases sex hormones
LH
both involved with the development of ovaries
ACTH
Stimulates the adrenal gland
HGH
stimulates growth in infancy
PRL
initiates and maintains milk secretion
TSH
controls the basal metabolic rate
MSH
production stimulation of melanin
adrenal gland
makes Adrenalin
adrenal cortex
outer layer
adrenal medulla
inner layer
epinephrine
activates the fight or flight response
testis and ovaries
male and female reproductive organs
testies
create sperm cells
ovaries
create the eggs for the sperm cells
pancreas
controls the blood sugar levels
glucagon
increase in blood glucose
insulen
decreases blood sugar levels
Endocrine Systems
consists of a network of endocrine organs and glands located throughout the body
the endocrine glands produce many hormones that regulate and secrete
Hypothalamus
the pituitary gland is the "master gland"
produces hormones that stimulates the pituitary gland
parathyroid gland
increases the blood calcium level
calcitonin
decreases the blood calcium level
thyroid gland
controls the basal metabolic rate
controlled by the TSH
Pineal Gland
melatonin
sleep cycle, alertness, and temperature
thymus
thymosin hormone
the development of t-cells involved
