The Endocrine System
![Page 2: 4/10 Endocrine system](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081813/548d9d31b4795997338b45a3/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Endocrine System
• System that “communicates” to control body functions
• Uses chemicals called hormones• Hormones come from glands• Unlike digestive glands, these glands are
ductless
*If they are ductless, how do they “communicate” with the body?

Major Glands of the Endocrine System
• hypothalamus• pituitary• thyroid• parathyroid glands• adrenal glands• pineal gland• pancreas*• reproductive organs (gonads)

Hypothalamus
• found in the brain, lower central part• regulation of satiety, metabolism and body
temperature• regulates the pituitary gland– somatostatin: stops release of growth hormone

Pituitary Gland
• found below the hypothalamus, pea-sized
• “most important gland of the endocrine system”
• produces a vast number hormones
• ex: growth hormone, TSH, ACTH, LH, FSH, prolactin
• ex: vasopressin, oxytocin

Thyroid Gland
• found in the lower front part of the neck
• regulates body metabolism
• maintains normal blood pressure, heart rate, digestion

Parathyroid glands
• pair of glands adjacent to the thyroid gland
• regulates calcium in bone and blood

Adrenal glands
• found on top of your kidneys• adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla• outer: corticosteroids – regulate metabolism,
salt and water balance• inner: catecholamines – deals with physical
and emotional stress (ex: adrenaline)

Pineal body
• regulates circadian rhythm• SAD (seasonal affective disorder)

Pancreas
• has both exocrine and endocrine function• “communicates” with the liver by hormones• islets of Langerhans– insulin – glucagon
