Endocrine System per:2 Kaylee Lopez
Major functions of the endocrine system
Hypothalamus:
Maintains the body homeostasis and regulates the body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure.
Pituitary Gland:
It had 2 lobes where as the anterior secretes hormones involved in the body's growth and development and the posterior one secretes hormones that invcrease the reabsorption of water into the kindneys
Pineal Gland:
Production of melatonin
Thyroid Gland:
It produces the 3 major hormones which is triiodothyronine (T3), Calcitonin, & thyroxine (T4). They help regulate the body's energy and metabolism.
Thymus:
Controls the production of T-cells and helps the body fight diseases
Pancreas
: Aids in digestion of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and is responsible for the production of insulin and glucagon.
Adrenal Gland:
Produces hormones that allow the body to react to stress like adrenaline and cortisol
Ovary:
Secretes estrogen and progesterone which is important to the health of the female reproduction system.
Testicle:
Secretes testerone which is important in physical development, bone density, and libido in males.
Parathyroid:
Secretes hormones necessary for calcium absorption
Major endocrine glands/organs and their functions (separate by region/ body cavity)
Pineal Gland:
Hormone: melatonin, Target Organ: many tissues
Pituitary Gland:
Hormone: FSH/LH, ADH, oxytocin, and prolactin. Target Organ: ovaries, kidneys, uterus, and breast tissue. Function: menstrual cycle, growth, birth concrations, and milk production.
Thyroid Gland:
Hormone: thyroxin. Target Organ: liver. Function: metabolic rate.
Adrenal Gland:
Hormone: adrenaline and cortisol. Target Organs: many. Function: flight or fight response
Pancreas:
Hormone: Insulin/glucagon. Target Organ: liver. Function: blood sugar levels
Ovaries:
Hormone: estrogen/ progesterone. Target Organ: uterus. Function: menstural cycle
Compare and contrast steroid vs. non-steroid hormones and list the hormones for each
category
Steroid hormones are produced from a lipid called cholesterol and because of this they pass pass through the membranes. But non-steroids hormones are made from amino acids they can't pass through the membranes so instead it combines with the receptor of the cell membranes.
Hormones of Steriods:
glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, androgens, oestrogens and progestogens.
Diseases associated with the endocrine system
Type 1 Diabetes
Addison's Disease:
Decreased production of hormones by the adrenal glands
Cushing's Syndrome:
Overproduction of a pituitary gland hormone leads to an overactive adrenal gland
Graves' Disease:
Type of hyperthyroidism resulting in excessive thyroid hormone production
Type 2 Diabetes
