The endocrine system is not a part of the nervous system , but it is
still essential to communication throughout the body… Regulate the energy level , Growth, Emotion and ability to reproduce This System is composed of Glands…which secrete chemical messenger known as hormones…
Hormones- a regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in
tissue fluids such as blood or sap to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action. Pineal Glands
• The pineal gland, also known as the pineal
body, conarium or epiphysis cerebri, is a small endocrine gland in the vertebratebrain. It produces melatonin, a serotonin derived hormone, which affects the modulation of sleep patterns in both seasonal andcircadian rhythms.[1][2] Its shape resembles a tiny pine cone (hence its name), and it is located in the epithalamus, near the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres, tucked in a groove where the two halves of the thalamus join. Pituitary Gland A master gland that’s secrets hormones that trigger your other gland the major endocrine gland. A pea-sized body attached to the base of the brain, the pituitary is important in controlling growth and development and the functioning of the other endocrine glands. • It’s the command center that’s control your body’s growth and signal your ovaries or testes to make testosterone or estrange. Thyroid Gland-Regulate your metabolism on how past your body uses energy. • Thyroid cartilage is the right in the front of the gland we have right and left lateral lobe.The isthmus is the connection of the lobes in the middle. Hypothalamus • The hypothalamus is located below the thalamus, just above the brainstem and is part of the limbic system.[1] In the terminology ofneuroanatomy, it forms the ventral part of the diencephalon. All vertebrate brains contain a hypothalamus. In humans, it is the size of an almond. • The hypothalamus is responsible for certain metabolic processes and other activities of the autonomic nervous system. It synthesizes and secretes certain neurohormones, often called releasing hormones or hypothalamic hormones, and these in turn stimulate or inhibit the secretion of pituitary hormones. The hypothalamus controls body temperature, hunger, important aspects of parenting and attachment behaviors, thirst,[2] fatigue, sleep, and circadian rhythms. Adrenals Glands-pump out drenaline hurmones when you're faced with stress or excited. are endocrine glands that produce a wide variety of hormones.[1] They are found on the top of the kidneys and consist of a number of different layers that directly influence the structure and function of the glands. Each gland has an outer cortex made of steroid- producing cells surrounding a core of medulla, formed by chromaffin cells in direct relationship with the sympathetic nervous system. The adrenal cortex is divided into three zones according to their functions and microscopic appearance.[2] Pancreas- Regulate how much energy your body gets.. • Pancreas- Its is located in the abdominal cavity behind the stomach…Its is endocrine gland producing several important hormones… • Pancreas- is a glandular organ in the digestive system and endocrine system of vertebrates in human. OVARY- female reproductive organ in which ova or eggs are produced, present in humans and other vertebrates as a pair. • The ovary is an ovum-producing reproductive organ, often found in pairs as part of the vertebrate female reproductive system. Birds have only one functional ovary (left), while the other remains vestigial. Ovaries in female are analogous to testes in male, in that they are both gonads and endocrine glands. Although ovaries occur in a wide variety of animals, both vertebrate and invertebrate, this article is primarily about human ovaries Ovaries secrete estrogen, testosterone[6][7] and progesterone. In women, fifty percent of testosterone is produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands and released directly into the blood stream.[8] Estrogen is responsible for the appearance of secondary sex characteristics for females at puberty and for the maturation and maintenance of the reproductive organs in their mature functional state. Progesterone prepares the uterus for pregnancy, and the mammary glands for lactation. Progesterone functions with estrogen by promoting menstrual cycle changes in the endometrium.ies. TESTIS • The testes (plural) are the most essential organs of the male reproductive system. They are the glands where sperm and testosterone are produced. • The testes are contained in the scrotum and are composed of dense connective tissue containing around three hundred internal compartments called lobules. Each of these lobules contains a number of coiled, tiny tubules where the sperm are produced. Testosterone is produced in cells located in between the lobules. • Sperm travels through the testis from the tubules, through a network of ducts called the rete testis, to the epididymis.
