  2. Parts of the Endocrine System: Endocrine Glands: Responsible for releasing hormone into the blood stream. Hormones: Chemical substances, released by the endocrine glands that regulate bodily activities. Thyroid Glands: Located in the throat and produces thyroxin , which increases cell metabolism and regulates growth. Parathyroid: Tiny gland in the thyroid that secrete parathormone which maintains calcium and phosphorus balance. Pineal Gland: Located in the center of the brain and regulates activity levels throughout the day Pancreas: Organ located between the stomach and small intestine that produces insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar

  3. PITUITARY GLANDS Located on the bottom of the brain and produces the largest number of the body’s hormones, which include; . Prolactin-Stimulates breast milk production and controls the menstrual cycle ACTH- Signals adrenal glands and produces cortisol(steroid) Growth- Itormone(GIT)- Signals liver cells to produce somatomedin which is artificial for child growth. FSH AND LH- Regulates testosterone, estrogen and progestrogen. ADH- Stimulates kidney concentrate by taking water back into the blood steam. Gonads- Reproductive glands in the males and females Adrenal Glands- Located right above the kidneys

  4. PARTS OF THE BODY EFFECTED BY THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM *Produces and secretes hormones throughout the body that effect cell activity, organ activity, regulation of bodily growth, metabolism, and sexual development. *Hypothalamus: Regulates metabolism and body temperature; also secretes somatostatin which signals the pituitary gland to stop releasing growth hormones. *Pituitary Glands stimulates growth and bone tissue *Adrenal Glands effects metabolism, balance of salt and water in the body, the immune system, and sexual function; also helps the body cope with physical and emotional stress.

  5. WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG? If the Endocrine System failed, the body wouldn’t grow properly. Regulation of the blood pressure would stop Regulation of water balance in the body would stop

  6. How the Endocrine System Works • This system is key in hormone production. • The variety of glad release different hormones into the bloodstream. • The bloodstream then carries them to the different cells and body parts. • Hormones bind themselves to the receptor cells and transmits a signal that triggers an action such as organ function or development.

  7. GROWTH DISORDERS • The Pituitary gland produces a hormone called somatropin that travels to bones, muscles, and tissue to stimulate growth. • Growth itormone Deficiency (GHD) is the condition of having too little somatotropin (growth hormone) • Physical Symptoms: Growth failure, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), and micropenis (unusually small male reproductive organ. Which gland could be considered the most important in the Endocrine System?
