Eye and the Endocrine System
Major structures
The major glands of the endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, pineal body, and the reproductive organs (ovaries and testes). The pancreas is also a part of this system; it has a role in hormone production as well as in digestion.
the eye receives oxygen through the aqueous. Its function is to nourish the cornea, iris, and lens by carrying nutrients, it removes waste products excreted from the lens, and maintain intraocular pressure and thus maintains the shape of the eye.
functions of the eye
The Cornea. The cornea is a transparent dome-shaped tissue that forms the front part of your eye. ...
Aqueous Humor. Aqueous humor is a clear, watery fluid, contained in two chambers behind the cornea, that helps to bring nutrients to the eye tissues.
The Sclera.
The Iris and the Pupil
The Lens.
The Choroid.
The Vitreous.
Diseases associated with the eye;
Refractive errors.
Cataracts - clouded lenses.
Optic nerve disorders, including glaucoma.
Retinal disorders - problems with the nerve layer at the back of the eye.
Macular degeneration - a disease that destroys sharp, central vision.
Diabetic eye problems.
Conjunctivitis - an infection also known as pinkeye.
Major functions of the endocrine system
The endocrine system is made up of glands that produce and secrete hormones, chemical substances produced in the body that regulate the activity of cells or organs.
These hormones regulate the body's growth, metabolism the physical and chemical processes of the body, and sexual development and function.
The endocrine system is the collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood, among other things.
The major glands of the endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, pineal body, and the reproductive organs
names of the hormones produced and their target organs and along with functions of the hormones;
Hormones of Thyroid. Thyroid gland basically releases two hormones Triiodothyronine and Thyroxine , which helps in controlling the metabolism of our body

The endocrine system is made up of glands that produce and secrete hormones, chemical substances produced in the body that regulate the activity of cells or organs. These hormones regulate the body's growth, and sexual development and function.
Adrenocorticotrophic hormone
Thyroid-stimulating hormone
Luteinising hormone
Follicle-stimulating hormone
Prolactin
Growth hormone
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone
Diseases associated with the endocrine system
Thyroid dysfunction , parathyroid disorders, and adrenal diseases may cause endocrine myopathies
Type 1 Diabetes.
Type 2 Diabetes.
Osteoporosis.
Thyroid Cancer.
Addison's Disease.
Cushing's Syndrome.
Graves' Disease.
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.
Adrenal insufficiency. The adrenal gland releases too little of the hormone cortisol and sometimes, aldosterone.
Cushing's disease. Overproduction of a pituitary gland hormone leads to an overactive adrenal gland.
Gigantism (acromegaly) and other growth hormone problems.
Hyperthyroidism.
For example, hyperthyroidism, a disease marked by the overproduction of thyroxine in the thyroid gland, may cause sudden weight loss, tremors, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, thinning of the skin, and other symptoms.
Hypothyroidism. The thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone, leading to fatigue, constipation, dry skin, and depression.
Hypopituitarism.
Multiple endocrine neoplasia
Polycystic ovary syndrome
Precocious puberty.
