    The endocrine system includes 8 glands that secrete hormones to regulate various bodily functions. The pituitary gland (2a) secretes multiple hormones to control growth, milk production, thyroid function, adrenal cortisol release, and reproduction. The hypothalamus (2b) regulates the pituitary gland through releasing hormones. The thyroid gland (3a) secretes thyroxine and triiodothyronine which regulate metabolism, growth, and development, while the parathyroid glands (3b) secrete parathyroid hormone to regulate calcium and phosphate levels in blood. The ovaries (7) secrete estrogen and progesterone to regulate the menstrual cycle and maintain female characteristics, while the testes (8)

    Endocrine System(NABIHA ZONAB)

    Identify the appropriate endocrine gland numbered 1-8. Using the Internet and various
    other sources determine the name of the gland, the hormones each releases and their
    primary function. The number in the bracket indicates the number of hormones you should
    identify. The (a) and the (b) on two of the glands indicates two different “sections” of the
    gland.
    Endocrine Gland Hormone Secreted Effects on target cell/tissue
    1.Pineal Gland
    Melatonin Regulates sleep-
    wake cycles and
    circadian rhythms.
    2a.Pituitary Gland a.Multiple hormones Various, including growth
    stimulation, milk production,
    thyroid function, adrenal
    cortisol release, and
    regulation of reproductive
    functions.

    2b.Hypothalamus b.Produces releasing hormones Regulation of pituitary


    that stimulate or inhibit
    pituitary hormone release. gland activity.
    3a-Thyroid c.Thyroxine (T4) and • Regulates metabolic
    Triiodothyronine (T3) rate, growth, and
    development.

    3b-Parathyroid Glands d. Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)


    • Regulates calcium
    and phosphate
    levels in the blood.

    4-Thymus e. Thymosin Aids in the development


    of T lymphocytes,
    important for the immune
    system.
    5-Adernal Glands Epinephrine "Fight or flight"
    (Adrenaline), response, increasing
    Norepinephrine heart rate and blood
    flow to muscles.
    6-Pancreas g. Insulin, Glucagon Insulin lowers blood sugar
    by promoting glucose
    uptake; Glucagon raises
    blood sugar by promoting
    glucose release.
    7-Ovaries(Females) a. Estrogen, Progesterone Regulate the menstrual
    cycle, support
    pregnancy, and maintain
    secondary sexual
    characteristics.
    8-Testicles(Male) b.Testosterone • Regulates sperm
    production, promotes
    the development of
    male reproductive
    tissues, and
    secondary sexual
    characteristics.
