Endocrine System - Coggle Diagram

- - - - hypothalamus regulates the hormone
      - helps maintain blood pressure and dehydration
      - causes kidneys to conserve water and reduces the amount of water excreted
    - - plays a role in child birth by contracting muscles in the uterine wall
      - release is controlled by positive feedback
  - - - same effects as thyroxine but 5x more potent
    - - inhibits the release of calcium from the bones
      - lowers blood clamium levels by adding the calcium to the bones
      - controlled by negative feedback
    - - increases rate of protein synthesis
      - accelerates growth
  - - - speeds the rate of use of carbs and fats in cells
      - more gh is released when glucose is low
      - stimulates cells to grow and reproduce
    - - plays no role in males
      - promotes milk production after birth of baby
      - controlled by two different hormones that are both released by the hypothalamus
    - - controlled by hormones released by the hypothalamus
      - controls secretion of hormones from thyroid gland
    - - controls secretion of hormones from the adrenal cortex
      - regulated by CRH from hypothalamus
    - - Follicle Stimulating Hormone
        
        affects testes in males and ovaries in females
      - Luteinizing Hormone
        
        in males LH is known as interstitial cell stimulating hormone
  - - - both hormones are used in times of stress or dangerous situations
    - - effects include increased heart rate, blood pressure, blood glucose, it dilates the airways, and decreases digestive activities
  - - - produced by middle layer of the cortex
      - inhibits protein synthesis
      - promotes fatty acid release
      - increases blood glucose
    - - secreted by cells of the outer layer
      - helps regulate mineral/electrolyte balance
      - causes kidneys to preserve sodium and water
      - secreted in response to low blood volume and pressure
    - - produced in the inner zone
      - mostly male hormones but can be changed to female
