| Endocrine System | Consist of endocrine glands that secrete hormones, which regulate a wide range of activities in humans |
| Hormones | Are secreted by glands and diffuse directly into the bloodstream |
| Hypothalamus | It controls the release of many hormones by the pituitary gland |
| Pituitary Gland | Called the “master gland” because it controls the activities of other glands |
| Growth Hormone Secreted by | Anterior Pituitary |
| Growth Hormone (GH) function | This hormone controls growth and repair of tissue |
| Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) | Stimulates the thyroid gland to produce its hormone thyroxin |
| Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) | Stimulates egg maturation and sperm production |
| Thyroid Gland location | Located in the neck below the larynx, front of trachea |
| Thyroid Gland hormone | secretes thyroxin |
| Thyroxin | Regulates the rate of metabolism |
| Simple Goiter | Lack of iodine in the diet, enlarged thyroid gland |
| Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) comes from | anterior pituitary |
| Parathyroid Gland secretes | parathormone |
| Parathormone action | Increases Calcium Blood levels |
| Adrenal Gland location | top of each kidney |
| Adrenal Cortex hormones | aldosterone, cortisol, small amt. sex hormone |
| Adrenal Medulla | Secretes adrenalin |
| Adrenalin | Increases vital signs, decrease GU and GI function |
| Pancreas Endocrine functions | produce insulin and glucagon |
| Insulin action | Facilitates the entrance of glucose into the cells |
| What is Glycogen | Stored form of Carbohydrate |
| Glucagons action | convert glycogen to glucose |
| Diabetes type 1 | When the Islets of Langerhans fail to produce insulin |
| Testes | Secrete testosterone |
| Ovaries | Secrete estrogen |
| Luteinizing Hormone | causes ovulation |
| Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone | causes testes to produce and secrete Testosterone |
| Glucocorticosteroid | Cortisol |
| Mineral Corticosteroid | Aldosterone |
| Hormones of Posterior Pituitary | Oxytocin and Antidiuretic hormone |
| Oxytocin function | cause uterine contraction and milk let down |
| Antidiuretic Hormone function | cause reabsorption of water in kidney |
| Aldosterone function | causes sodium reabsorption in kidney |
| Prolaction causes | milk production |
| Thymus gland produces | thymosin |
| Thymosin Function | Assists in maturation of T Cells |
