Endocrine System

• Endocrine - compose of gland that secretes different type of  hormones that affect almost every cell, tissue, organ and function of our body
• Glands: thymus

  Loc: front of the heart

  Hormone: Thymosin
• Glands:  adrenal Loc: top of the kidney Hormone: adrenaline
• Glands: pancreas

  Loc: between the kidney

  Hormone: insulin, glucagon
• Glands: Parathyroid

  Loc: in the neck

  Hormone: parathyromone
• Glands: thyroid

  Loc: below the voice box

  Hormone: thyroxin, Calcitonin
• Glands: pituitary

  Loc: base of the brain
• Pituitary - stimulate growth and control the function of other glands
• Thyroid- regulate metabolism and store calcium in bones
• Parathyroid - normalize bone growth and calcium level
• Thymus- enable the body to produce certain anti bodies
• Adrenal- prepare the body for action, control heart rate, and breathing
• Pancreas- regulate blood sugar
• Glands- is an organ whose cell secrete materials to be bought to the different region of the body
• Ducts- this is where hormone travel
• Within- meaning of Endo in Endocrine
• Seperate- meaning of krinin
• Bloodstream or fluid around the cell- where Hormone produce directly
• No - do the glands function all the time
• Liver- where hormone destroyed after their function
• Uncoordinated activity- happen when body react to any hormone if hormone do not have specific target
• Liver- play a vital role in feedback mechanism
• Adrenocorticotropin hormone- Stimulate the adrenal gland to produce releted steroid hormone
• Growth hormone- Stimulate the growth of bones and tissue
• Melanocytes-stimulating hormone- regulate melanin production
• Thyroid- stimulating hormone- Stimulate thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone
• FSH and LH - control sexual function, and production of the sex hormone
• Prolactin- stimulate milk production in women
• Antidiuretic hormone- control water loss in kidney
• Oxytocin- stimulate milk production and contraction of the uterus during childbirth
• Triiodothyronine and Thyroxine- has iodine
• Iodine- help regulate metabolis
• Hyperthyroidism- excess of triiodothyronine and thyroxine
• Hypothyroidism - insufficient amount of Triiodothyronine and Thyroxine
• Glands: adrenal glands

  Hormone: adrenaline (epinephrine)

  Target cell: circulatory system
