Endocrine System
Eric Mora
Per:1
Include the hormones produced, their functions and their target organs
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH):
Controls the production of eggs and sperm.
Glucagon:
Helps increase levels of blood glucose (blood sugar).
Estrogen:
Works to regulate the menstrual cycle, maintain pregnancy, and develop female sex characteristics; aids in sperm production.
Insulin:
helps reduce your blood glucose levels.
dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S):
Aids in production of body odor and growth of body hair during puberty.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH):
controls estrogen and testosterone production as well as ovulation.
Cortisol:
Plays a role in stress response.
Melatonin:
Controls sleep-wake cycles.
Aldosterone:
Controls the body’s salt and water balance.
Oxcytocin:
Helps with lactation, childbirth, and mother-child bonding.
Adrenaline:
increases blood pressure, heart rate, and metabolism in reaction to stress.
Parathyroid hormone:
Controls calcium levels in bones and blood.
Progesterone:
Helps prepare the body for pregnancy when an egg is fertilized.
Prolactin:
Promotes breast-milk production.
Testosterone:
Contributes to sex drive and body density in males and females as well as development of male sex characteristics.
Thyroid Hormone:
Helps control several body functions, including the rate of metabolism and energy levels.
Homeostatic mechanisms of hormone regulation (negative and positive feedback)
Negative Feedback
in which the hormone feeds back to decrease its own production. This type of feedback brings things back to normal whenever they start to become too extreme. Negative feedback stops and inhibits the hormone from being produced.
Positive Feedback
is much less common because it causes conditions to become increasingly extreme. Positive feedback stimulates and increases hormone secretion.
Major functions of the endocrine system
Help growth and development.
Help the way our organs work.
Help control mood.
Help metabolism.
The endocrine system is a network of glands in your body that make the hormones that help cells talk to each other. They’re responsible for almost every cell, organ, and function in your body.
Help reproduction.
Major endocrine glands/organs and their functions (separate by region/ body cavity)
Thyroid Gland:
Controls your growth and metabolism.
Parathyroid Gland:
A set of four small glands behind your thyroid. The glands control your levels of calcium and phosphorus.
Pineal Gland:
It makes a chemical called melatonin that helps your body get ready to go to sleep.
Pituitary Gland:
Uses information it gets from your brain to tell other glands in your body what to do.
Adrenals Gland:
Make hormones called corticosteroids. They affect your metabolism heart rate, oxygen intake, blood flow, and sexual function, among other things. Best known for making the "fight or flight" hormone adrenaline
Hypothalamus Gland:
This organ connects your endocrine system with your nervous system. Its main job is to tell your pituitary gland to start or stop making hormones.
Thymus Gland:
This gland makes white blood cells called T lymphocytes that fight infection and are crucial as a child's immune system develops. The thymus gland starts to shrink after puberty.

Compare and contrast steroid vs. non-steroid hormones and list the hormones for each category
Steroid hormones are lipids.
Non-Steroid:
Steroid hormones are produced by endocrine glands.
Non-steroid hormones directly activate genes.
Steroid hormones inactivate genes.
Non-steroid hormones are produced by nervous tissue.
Steroid:
Non-steroid hormones are made from one or more amino acids.
