Quick navigation Home. The parathyroid glands play an important role in the regulation of the body's calcium balance. The thymus is located in the upper part of the chest and produces white blood cells that fight infections and destroy abnormal cells.
Adrenal gland. An adrenal gland is located on top of each kidney. Like many glands, the adrenal glands work hand-in-hand with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The adrenal glands make and release corticosteroid hormones and epinephrine that maintain blood pressure and regulate metabolism. The pancreas is located across the back of the abdomen, behind the stomach. The pancreas plays a role in digestion, as well as hormone production.
Hormones are chemical messengers, transferring information and instructions from one set of cells to another. Hormones regulate growth, development, mood, tissue Hyposecretion or function, metabolism, and hypersecretion of sexual function.
Controlling the production of hormones can treat many hormonal disorders in the body. The pituitary gland has 2 lobes…. The endocrine system and nervous system work together to help maintain homeostasis… balance.
The hypothalamus is a collection of specialized cells located in the brain, and is the primary link between the two systems. It produces chemicals that either stimulate or suppress hormone secretions of the pituitary gland. Growth Hormone GH : essential for the growth and development of bones, muscles, and other organs. It also enhances protein synthesis, decreases the use of glucose, and promotes fat destruction.
It stimulates the growth ovarian follicles in the female and the production of sperm in the male. Luteinizing Hormone LH : is a gonadotropic hormone stimulating the development of corpus luteum in the female ovarian follicles and the production of The yellow corpus luteum testosterone in the remains after ovulation; it male.
Prolactin PRL : stimulates the development and growth of the mammary glands and milk production during pregnancy. The sucking motion of the baby stimulates prolactin secretion. Hyposecretion of this hormone can result in diabetes insipidus. Oxytocin: stimulates the uterus to contract during labor, delivery, and parturition. A synthetic version of this hormone, used to induce labor, is called Pitocin. It also stimulates the mammary glands to release milk.
The pineal gland is pine-cone-shaped and only about 1 cm in diameter. Melatonin: communicates information about environmental lighting to various parts of the body. Serotonin: a neurotransmitter that regulates intestinal movements and affects appetite, mood, sleep, anger, and metabolism. They secrete parathyroid PTH which plays a role in the metabolism of phosphorus. Too little results in cramping; too much results in osteoporosis or kidney stones.
The islets of Langerhans are small clusters of cells located in the pancreas. Beta cells secrete the hormone insulin, which is essential for Alpha cells facilitate the maintenance of normal the breakdown of blood sugar levels. Inadequate glycogen to glucose. This elevates the blood sugar. Delta cells suppress the release of glucagon and insulin. The triangular- shaped adrenal glands are located on the top of each kidney. The inside is called the medulla and the outside layer is called the cortex.
Androgens: several hormones including testosterone; they promote the development of secondary sex characteristics in the male. Dopamine is used to treat shock. It dilates the arteries, elevates systolic blood pressure, increases cardiac output, and increases urinary output. Epinephrine is also called adrenalin. It elevates systolic blood pressure, increases heart rate and cardiac output, speeds up the release of glucose from the liver… giving a spurt of energy, dilates the bronchial tubes and relaxes airways, and dilates the pupils to see more clearly.
It is often used to counteract an allergic reaction. Norepinephrine, like epinephrine, is released when the body is under stress. As a drug, however, it in the actually triggers a drop in heart rate. The ovaries produce several estrogen hormones and progesterone. These hormones prepare the uterus for pregnancy, promote the development of mammary glands, play a role in sex drive, and develop secondary sex characteristics in the female.
Estrogen is essential for the growth, development, and maintenance of female sex organs. The testes produce the male sex hormone called testosterone.
