ENDOCRINE SYSTEM - Coggle Diagram
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
THYROID GLAND
THIROXINE
It increases the basal metabolic rate, affects protein synthesis and increases the body's sensitivity to catecholamines.
-
CALCITONIN
Calcitonin decreases the concentration of blood calcium level when it rises above the normal level. In fact, it is exactly effective on bones. Its main task is to lower the level of calcium in the blood.
PARATHYROID GLAND
PARATHORMONE
-
-
With the increase of calcium absorption from the intestines, the amount of calcium in the blood increases and the calcium in the blood remains in balance.
TESTES AND OVARY
OSTROGEN
It causes the emergence of secondary sexual characteristics such as the development of female-specific fine voice, development of reproductive organs, and gaining female-specific body structure.
-
-
PINEAL GLAND
-
The main function of the pineal gland is to receive and convey information about the current light-dark cycle from the environment and, consequently produce and secrete melatonin cyclically at night (dark period)
PITUTARITY GLAND
anterior lobe
-
STH (growth hormone)
It is effective on cells that have the ability to grow, such as muscle and bone cells.
-
-
LH (luteinizing hormone)
-
In men, it stimulates the testicles to secrete testosterone.
-
-
posterior lobe
SYNTESİS
-
oxytocin
It plays a role in social bonding, reproduction, childbirth, and the period after childbirth
Adrenal Gland
-
CORE PART
ADRENALINE
during the secretion of adrenaline,
-
-
-
-
NORADRENALINE
Norepinephrine affects parts of the brain involved in attention and response to the environment. Along with epinephrine, norepinephrine forms the basis of the flight-or-fight response by increasing heart rate, glucose release from stores, and blood flow to skeletal muscles.
PANCREAS
-
Glucagon
It has the effect of increasing the blood glucose level.
Glucagon, which is secreted when blood sugar drops in fasting, provides glycogen destruction in the liver and stimulates the release of glucose into the blood, providing fat destruction in adipose tissues.
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
Sweating is an example of a negative feedback mechanism. When the temperature in the environment increases, sweat glands in the body are activated and sweating occurs.
