 Learning Objectives
In this lesson, students should be able to do the following

. Determine the parts and functions of the Endocrine

System.

. System work together.

. Develop healthful habits that promote proper

functioning of the different body systems.
Do you know what an Orchestra is?
Lets find out and learn,
talk, explore and
discover the
Endocrine System
What is the Endocrine
System?
The endocrine system is a complex
network of glands and organs. It uses
hormones to control and coordinate your
body's metabolism, energy level,
reproduction, growth and development,
and response to injury, stress, and mood.
 What are Hormones?
Hormones are chemicals that
coordinate different functions in
your body by carrying messages
through your blood to your
organs, skin, muscles and other
tissues. These signals tell your
body what to do and when to do
it.
 The Endocrine
System has
10 major parts.
Parts and Functions of the
Endocrine System
The Brain
The Endocrine System- Hypothalamus
Your hypothalamus, a structure
deep in your brain, acts as your
body's smart control
coordinating center. Its main
function is to keep your body in
a stable state called
homeostasis. It does its job by
directly influencing your
autonomic nervous system or
by managing hormones.
 The Endocrine System- Pineal gland
also called the pineal body or
epiphysis cerebri, is a tiny gland
in your brain that's located
beneath the back part of the
corpus callosum. It's a part of
your endocrine system and
secretes the hormone
melatonin.
 The Endocrine System- Pituitary 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 regulates
growth, metabolism, and
reproduction through the
hormones that it produces.
The Neck
The Endocrine System-Thyroid gland

Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped

gland located at the front of your neck
under your skin. It's a part of your endocrine
system and controls many of your body's
important functions by producing and
releasing (secreting) certain hormones.
The Endocrine System- Parathyroid gland

One of four pea-sized

glands found on the
surface of the thyroid.
The parathyroid hormone
made by these glands
increases the calcium
level in the blood.
The Endocrine System-Thymus Gland
A lymphoid organ situated in the neck of
vertebrates that produces T cells for the
immune system. The human thymus
becomes much smaller at the approach
of puberty.
The Stomach
 The Endocrine System- Pancreas
The pancreas is the largest
organ of the Endocrine
System. It is an organ
located in the abdomen. It
plays an essential role in
converting the food we eat
into fuel for the body's cells.
In Endocrine function it
regulates blood sugar.
The Endocrine System- Adrenal Gland
A small gland that makes steroid hormones,
adrenaline, and noradrenaline. These
hormones help control heart rate, blood
pressure, and other important body
functions.
The Reproductive
Glands
 The Endocrine System- Ovary(female)

One of a pair of female glands in

which the eggs form and the
female hormones. In addition to
their role in producing ova, the
ovaries also have the distinction of
being an endocrine gland because
they secrete hormones.
 The Endocrine System- Testes(male)

One of two egg-shaped

glands inside the scrotum
that produce sperm and
male hormones. Also
called testicle. These
organs are responsible for
producing the sperm and
ova, but they also secrete
(testosterone) hormones
and are considered to be
endocrine glands.
how do we take care of
our Endocrine system?
1. Get plenty of exercise
2. Eat nutritious diet
3. Go for Regular medical checkups
4.Talk to the doctor before taking
any supplements or herbal
treatments.
5.Let the doctor know about any family
history of endocrine problems, such as
diabetes or thyroid problems.
