THINK ABOUT IT
Endocrine glands are scattered throughout the body, many of them with no apparent connection to each other.
How does the body control and regulate so many separate organs so that they act together as a single system?

Pituitary Gland The pituitary gland is a bean-sized structure that dangles on a slender stalk of tissue at the base of the brain.
The gland is divided into two parts: the anterior and posterior pituitary.
Some of the hormones released by the pituitary control other glands, while others affect other types of tissues.

Hypothalamus
The hypothalamus, which is attached to the posterior pituitary, is the link between the central nervous system and the endocrine system.
The hypothalamus controls the secretions of the pituitary gland.

Hypothalamus
The hypothalamus produces a specific releasing hormone that controls the secretion of each anterior pituitary hormone.

Adrenal Glands
The adrenal glands release hormones that help the body prepare for—and deal with—stress.

Adrenal Glands
The adrenal cortex produces more than two dozen steroid hormones called corticosteroids.

Adrenal Glands
The heart-pounding, anxious feeling you get when excited or frightened—commonly known as the “fight or flight” response–is produced in the adrenal medulla to release large amounts of epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine.

Pancreas
The pancreas has both exocrine and endocrine functions.
As an exocrine gland, the pancreas releases enzymes that help digest food.

Pancreas
The endocrine cells produce insulin and glucagon.
Insulin and glucagon help to keep the blood glucose level stable, as shown in the feedback loop.

Blood Glucose Regulation
When blood glucose levels rise after a person eats, the pancreas releases insulin.
Insulin stimulates cells to take glucose out of the blood, preventing blood glucose levels from rising too rapidly and ensuring that glucose is stored for future use.
Insulin signals the liver and skeletal muscles to store glucose as glycogen. In fat tissue, glucose is converted to lipids.

Diabetes Mellitus
When the body fails to produce or properly respond to insulin, a condition known as diabetes mellitus occurs.
The very high blood glucose levels that result from diabetes can damage almost every system and cell in the body.

Diabetes Mellitus
Type I diabetes is an autoimmune disorder that usually develops before the age of 15.
People with Type I diabetes must follow a strict diet and get daily doses of insulin to keep their blood glucose level in control.

Diabetes Mellitus Type II diabetes most commonly develops after the age of 40.
People with Type II diabetes produce low to normal amounts of insulin, but their cells do not properly respond to the hormone because the interaction of insulin receptors and insulin is inefficient.

Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands
The thyroid gland produces the hormone thyroxine, which increases the metabolic rate of cells throughout the body, causing cells to become more active, use more energy, and produce more heat.
![Page 16: Lesson Overview](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062719/568131ca550346895d9832e0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands
Iodine is needed to produce thyroxine.
Low levels of thyroxine in iodine-deficient infants produce a condition called cretinism, in which neither the skeletal system nor the nervous system develops properly.

Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands
If the thyroid produces too much thyroxine, a condition called hyperthyroidism occurs.
Hyperthyroidism results in nervousness, elevated body temperature, increased blood pressure, and weight loss.

Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands
Too little thyroxine causes a condition called hypothyroidism.
Low body temperature, lack of energy, and weight gain are signs of this condition.

Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands
The thyroid also produces calcitonin, a hormone that reduces blood calcium levels.
Calcitonin signals the kidneys to reabsorb less calcium from filtrate, inhibits calcium’s absorption in the small intestine, and promotes calcium’s absorption into bones.
![Page 20: Lesson Overview](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062719/568131ca550346895d9832e0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands
Parathyroid hormone (PTH), is calcitonin’s opposing hormone,which increases the calcium levels in the blood by promoting the release of calcium from bone, the reabsorption of calcium in the kidneys, and the uptake of calcium from the digestive system.

Reproductive Glands
The gonads—ovaries and testes—are the body’s reproductive glands.
The gonads serve two important functions: the production of gametes and the secretion of sex hormones.

Maintaining Water Balance
The hypothalamus contains cells that are sensitive to the concentration of water in the blood.

Controlling Metabolism The activity of the thyroid gland is controlled by the hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary gland.
When the hypothalamus senses that thyroxine levels are low, it secretes thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), which stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
![Page 24: Lesson Overview](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062719/568131ca550346895d9832e0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Lesson OverviewLesson Overview Glands of the Endocrine SystemGlands of the Endocrine System
Controlling Metabolism The release of TRH stimulates the release of TSH by the anterior pituitary, which stimulates the release of additional thyroxine by the thyroid.
Thyroxine increases oxygen consumption and cellular metabolism. The increase in metabolic activity helps the body maintain its core temperature.
