Main Function:
It releases hormones into the blood to signal other cells to behave in certain ways. It is a slow but widespread form of communication.

Endocrine glands Release hormones into the bloodstream.
Hormones are chemicals released in one part of the body that travel through the bloodstream and affect the activities of cells in other parts of the body.

The hormonal glands and their functions
Pituitary gland secretes:1. Growth hormone(GH) which stimulates growth in the body2. Thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) which stimulate the thyroid to secrete thyroxin3. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) which stimulates the formation of follicles in the ovary.4. Luteinising hormone (LH) bringing about ovulation, oestrogen production and corpus luteum development.5. Prolactin which stimulates the mammary glands to secrete milk.
HypothalamusSecretes anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) which stimulate the re-absorption of water from the tubules back into the blood
Thyroid glandSecretes thyroxin (Iodine is necessary in the production of thyroxin) Thyroxin controls metabolic rate, particularly cellular respiration in mitochondria
Pancreas secretes:1. Insulin which decrease blood sugar levels2. Glucagon which increase blood sugar levels
Ovaries secrete:1. Oestrogen Stimulates the female sex organs stimulate secondary sexual characteristics2. Progesterone: Prepare uterus to receive fertilised ovum.Maintains the uterus during pregnancyTestes
Secretes testosterone which stimulate the male sex organs stimulates secondary sexual characteristics
Adrenal glands which secrete:1. Adrenalin which prepares the body for a crisis by increasing the:Heart rateBreathingGlucose levels in the bloodTone of the skeletal muscles2. Aldosterone which prepares the re-absorption of Na+ from the loop of Henlé.

Pituitary glandHypophysis (Pituitary gland)•also known as the master gland•situated in the small bony cavity on the floor of the skull, below the hypothalamus•has two lobes viz., the anterior lobe and the posterior lobe•the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland
![Page 8: Chemical co-ordination](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814532550346895db1fbf6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Thyroid GlandFunction: plays a major role in regulation the
body’s metabolism.
Disorders: If the Thyroid Gland produces to much Thyroxin, it can cause a condition known as Hyperthyroidism. If to little thyroxin produces it is called Hypothyroidism.

Diabetes affects the circulatory system of the retina. The arteries in the retina become weakened and leak, forming small forming small, dot-like haemorrhages. These leaking vessels often lead to swelling or edema in the retina and decreased vision. In a later stage circulation problems cause areas of the retina to become oxygen deprived and new, fragile vessels develop as the circulatory system attempts to maintain adequate oxygen levels. These vessels haemorrhage (weaken) easily and blood may leak into the retina causing decreased vision

Prevention of diabetes:2. Control the glucose levels. Normal glucose levels in the blood of a human should be between 3.5 – 5.5 mmol/l

Thyroid GlandThyroid Gland•consists of two lobes, one on each side of the trachea, just below the larynx•secretes the hormone thyroxin
Functions of Thyroxin•maintains general metabolism at an optimum rate•essential for normal growth and functioning of the heart and nervous system •Iodine is essential for the production of thyroxin. A deficiency of iodine in the diet causes swelling of the thyroid gland (condition is called goitre)

THYROID DISORDERSThyroxin regulates the body’s metabolic rate. Iodine is necessary in the production of thyroxin. A lack of iodine in the diet leads to an enlarged thyroid gland. This is known as
goitre.

Adrenal Gland•situated on top of each kidney•secrets the hormone adrenalin which prepares the body to cope with emergency, danger and stress in the following ways:•constricts blood vessels of the skin but dilates blood vessels to heart, muscles and brain (important organs during an emergency)•increases the heartbeat•promotes conversion of glycogen into glucose in the liver to be released into the blood•increase the rate and depth of breathing•increases skeletal muscle tonethe metabolic activity of the body cells increases to release more energy.

INFERTILITYCauses of infertilityNo FSH secreted, no eggs will be released and the female will
be infertileLow sperm count in males, sexually transmitted diseasesSymptoms Inability to have childrenPreventionReduce behaviour that may increase chances of contracting
STD’s Treatment of infertilityGynaecologist treats these women by giving them fertility
drugs that contain FSH and LH to stimulate their ovaries to produce ova. These drugs may cause many ova to be released resulting in multiple births.
