ENDOCRIN
E SYSTEM
 referred to as hormone systems
 it acts through chemical
messengers called hormones.
 is a series of glands that produce
and secrete hormones that the
body uses for a wide range of
functions.
 Its glands create and release
hormones that control almost all
processes in our body. They
coordinate your metabolism, growth
and development, and control your
emotions, mood, sexual function and
even sleep.
o What is a hormone?

Chemical messenger
that is secreted directly
into the blood, which
carries them to organs
and tissues of the body
to exert their functions
(send signals).
o What is a gland?

An organ that makes and

puts out hormones that
do a specific job in our
body. Endocrine and
exocrine glands release
the substances they
make into our
bloodstream.
 ENDOCRINE GLANDS
1. Hypothalamus- connects endocrine system with
nervous system. Its main job is to tell your pituitary
gland to start or stop making hormones.
2. Pituitary gland- endocrine system’s master
gland. It uses information it gets from your brain to
tell other glands in your body what to do.
3. Pineal gland- makes a chemical called melatonin
that helps your body get ready to go to sleep.
4. Thyroid gland- makes thyroid hormone,
which controls your growth and
metabolism.
5. Parathyroid- is a set of four glands
behind your thyroid. They play role in bone
health and controls the level of calcium
and phosphorus.
6. Thymus- makes WBC called T lymphocytes
that fight infection and are crucial as a child’s
immune system develops. The thymus starts to
shrink after puberty.
7. Adrenals- best known for making the flight or
fight hormone adrenaline (also called
epinephrine), they affect your metabolism, hear
rate, oxygen intake, blood flow, sexual function
and among other things.
8. Pancreas- part of the digestive and endocrine
systems. It makes digestive enzymes that break down
food and also makes hormones insulin and glucagon
ensuring the right amount of sugar in your bloodstream
and your cells.
9. Ovaries- in women, these organs make estrogen and
progesterone that helps develop breasts at puberty,
regulate menstrual cycle and support a pregnancy.
10. Testes- in men, testes make testosterone that helps
them grow facial and body hair at puberty. It also tells the
penis to grow larger and plays a role in making sperm.
