Endocrine System Function- to maintain homeostasis by regulating chemical signals throughout the body
Homeostasis In order to adapt & survive, the human body must stay in a state of homeostasis.
Hunger & thirst are examples of a homeostasis mechanism in an organism.
-oxygen & carbon dioxide levels -nutrient & waste product levels -water balance -body temperature
The Endocrine System -Consists of glands that produce chemical messengers called hormones.
-Hormones are released directly into the bloodstream where they are carried to other parts of the body.
-Hormones turn on, turn off, speed up or slow down the activities of certain organs, tissues or cells.
Pituitary Gland • This is considered the “master gland”. • Secretes hormones that control other glands.
Pineal Gland • Located in the middle of the brain. • Secretes melatonin. • Helps to regulate when you sleep at night and when you wake up in the morning.
Thyroid Gland • Located in the front of the lower neck. • Secretes thyroxine and triiodothyronine. • Controls the rate at which our cells burn food to produce energy.
Adrenal Gland • Two glands: one found on top of each kidney. • Produces corticosteroids and catecholamines (adrenaline). • Controls the body’s response to stress.
Reproductive Glands • Hormones secreted are called Gonads. • Males produce hormones called androgens, most importantly testosterone. • Females produce estrogen and progesterone. • Controls the changes associated with puberty and pregnancy.
Pancreas • Long, flat gland found in the belly, not technically part of the endocrine system. • Produces insulin and glucagon. • Helps control the levels of glucose in the body.

Thyroid hormones:The thyroid secretes the hormones that control the bodies metabolism.
Hyperthyroidism:The thyroid secretes too many hormones so metabolism speeds up.
Hypothyroidism:The thyroid does not secrete enough hormones so metabolism slows down.
Growth hormones:Pituitary gland secretes hormones that control the rate & amount a person grows.
Giantism: Too many growth hormones lead to excess growth.Dwarfism: Not enough growth hormones stunts growth.
