Endocrine system and its interaction with

exercise

By Noor Ali Salman

  Your endocrine system is made up of several organs called glands.
These glands, located all over your body, create and secrete
(release) hormones.

introduction  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 pituitary gland senses when your hormone levels rise, and
tells other glands to stop producing and releasing hormones.
When hormone levels dip below a certain point, the pituitary
gland can instruct other glands to produce and release more. This

 Emotions and mood.
 Fertility and sexual function.
 Sleep.
 Blood pressure.
  Hypothalamus:  controls your endocrine system. It uses information from your
nervous system to determine when to tell other glands to produce hormones
 Pituitary:  control several other glands such as the thyroid gland, adrenal glands,
ovaries and testicles.
 Thyroid: It’s responsible for your metabolism (how your body uses energy).

 Pancreas:  It makes a hormone called insulin that controls the level of sugar in your
blood.
 Ovaries: In women, the ovaries release sex hormones called estrogen, progesterone
 Testes: In men, the testes (testicles) make sperm and release the hormone
testosterone.
  Diabetes: This endocrine disorder affects the way your body uses
the energy from the food you eat. Diabetes develops when the
pancreas doesn’t make enough of a hormone called insulin, or
insulin doesn’t work as it should.

Exercise can help you control or reduce your weight because
testosterone and thyroxine speed up your metabolism.

  The endocrine system is a complex collection of glands and organs
that helps regulate various bodily functions. This is accomplished
through the release of hormones, or chemical messengers,
conclusion produced by the endocrine system. Your endocrine system needs
the same things the rest of your body needs to stay healthy. You
should exercise, eat right and see your healthcare provider
regularly
