Endocrine System Jordyn Miller P.2
Endocrine Glands
Pituitary
Anterior
creates & releases over 6 different hormones that affect bodily processes
Posterior
Stores hormones made by the hypothalamus
Thyroid
controls the speed of the metabolism
Thymus
Production & Maturation of of immune cells
Ovaries
produces egg for fertilization & they make estrogen and progesterone
Testes
to produce sperm and male sex hormone
Adrenal
Produces hormones that help regulate the immune system, metabolism, blood pressure,response to stress
Pancreas
makes the hormone insulin, which helps regulate blood sugar
Pineal
receives info about the light to dark cycle of the environment & produces melatonin in response
Kidneys
secretes various hormones and humoral factors
Parathyroids
regulates calcium, phosphorus and magnesium in the blood and bones
Endocrine organs & hormones
Pineal Gland
Melatonin; reuglation of circadian Rhythm
Posterior Pituitary
Oxytocin; contracts smooth muscle in the uterine wall
Antidiuretic (ADH); causes kidneys to conserve water
Anterior Pituitary
Luteinizing Hormone (LH); promotes sex hormone secretion; helps with releasing egg in females
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH); Responsible for egg development in the ovaries
Adrenocorticotropic(ACTH); Controls certain secretions of Adrenal cortex
Thyroid Stimulating (TSH); controls Thyroid gland hormone secretions
Prolactin (PRL); Sustains milk production after birth
Growth (GH) Increases growth in cells & enhances movement of amino acids
Thyroid
T4 (Thyroxine)
Increases energy release rate from carbohydrates; accelerates growth hormone,normal nervous system maturation, protein synthesis growth
T3
5x more potent than Thyroxine
Calcitonin; lowers blood calcium and phosphate ion concentration levels in bones
Thymus Gland
Thymosin; affects production & differentiation of T Lymphocytes
Pancreas
Insulin; Lowers blood sugar, increases protein synthesis
Glucagon; raises blood sugar by stimulating glycogen breakdowns
Parathyroid Gland
Parathyroid hormone (PTH); increases blood calcium and decreases phosphate, stimulates bone resorption by osteoclats, Stimulates kidneys to conserve calcium
Hormones
Non- Steroid
amines, peptides, glycoproteins produced from amino acids
Steriod
derived from cholesterol (lipid soluble)
Endocrine Diseases
Hypothyroidism
thyroid underactivity causes low metabolic rate, fatigue, & weight gain in Adults Poor growth, bone formation, abnormal mental development and sluggishness in infants
Hyperthyroidism
thyroid overactivity causes high metabolic rate, restlessness, & overeating in adults may lead to exophthalmia
Hypoparathyroidism
Excess PTH results in high calcium blood levels
Hyperparathyroidism
PTH deficiency results in low calcium blood levels
