Endocrine System
By: Ricardo Hernandez Per. 2
Major Functions of the Endocrine System
It is made of endocrine glands and it also works with the nervous system so it can regulate homeostasis.
Endocrine glands
The glands of the endocrine can produce hormones into your body fluids and into the bloodstream into the target cells.
Homeostasis
Can be produced and can be many ways of hormones
Major endocrine glands/organs and their functions and their target organs
The glands
Pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal gland, pancreas, pineal gland, reproductive gland (ovaries and testis), kidneys, and thymus gland.
Pituitary gland
Located at the hypothalamus, there are 2 parts of the pituitary gland such as the anterior, and the posterior pituitary. They can released hormones leading the 2 parts to control them
Anterior
Can arrange the blood vessels and can enclosed them in a capsule of the connective tissues
Can release and inhibit the hormones and can go into the bloodstream
Growth Hormones (GH)
Helps make you grow
Prolactin (PRL)
Promotes milk from the breast for the females
ACTH
Controls the secretion or the release of hormone from the adrenal cortex
Posterior
Part of the nervous system
Stores hormones and releases into the blood and into the nerve impulses
Thyroid Gland Hormones
Triiodothyronine
Same as Throxine but 5 times better
Calcitonin
Lowers blood calcium and phasphate ions by regulating into the bones
Thyroxine
Increases your rate of energy from carbon hydrated
Pancreas Hormone
Glucagon
Increase blood level of the glucose
Insulin
Decrease blood level of the glucose
Parathyroid glands
PTH
Increases blood calcium on your blood vessels, stimulates your kidney whenever it is low on water, and negative feedback is involve to make the blood calcium in your body to regulate.
Adrenal Cortex Hormones
Aldosterone
Helps secrete water on the kidney whenever it is dry and help regulate minerals.
Cortisol
Increase amino acids, and regulates glucose metabolism
Adrenal androgen
Supply sex hormones from the gonads
Diseases associated with the endocrines system
Hypothyroidism
If there is a low performance of your thyroid gland, then your body will start changing into a bad way such as having a fatigue figure, you might gain weight, and if infants have that under performance then they would have disorders on their body.
An injury on the gland can result to a decrease on your blood calcium
Hyperthyroidism
If the thyroid gland performs to much then your will feel over emotions, and your body would feel tired. Your eyes will start having a wired structure leading it to be infected or worse.
An injury into the gland can result a increase on your blood calcium
Hyperparathyroidism
Cause a decrease in your blood calcium and needs to be surgically remove
Hyperparathyroidism
Cause an increase in your blood calcium and may result to a tumor on your thyroid
Addison Disease
Crushing Syndrome
Diabetes
The lack of insulin can make your body swell including your eyes, heart, kidneys, and more. There are 2 types
Homeostasis mechanisms of hormone regulations (negative and positive feedback)
Negative Feedback
Whenever a hormone is lacking on something, then there is called a negative feedback where it regulates the hormones levels into the endocrine glands
Stress respond hormones
the alarm stage
Increase blood glucose, heart rate, epinephrine, and more
Resistance stage
Cortisol
Increases, amino acid, fatty acid are releases , and glucagon formats to regulate.
