 Endocrine System
• Endocrine System/Hormone System is a
network of Glands in your body that make the
Hormones that help cells talk to each other.
• They're responsible for almost every
cell,organ,and function in your body.
"Dopamine Hormone"
 Endocrine System
• Hormone affect nearly every process in your
body including metabolism, growth and
development, emotions and mood, fertivility,
and related functions sleep, and blood pressure.
• The endocrine system is made up of organs
called GLANDS.
Endocrine System
Hormones
• Is a chemical substance,
produced by a gland, carried
by the blood, which alters the
activity of one or more
specific target organs and is
them destroyed by the liver.
1. HYPOTHALAMUS
- LOCATED IN YOUR BRAIN AND CONTROLS
YOUR ENDOCRINE SYSTEM.
- IT USES INFORMATION FROM YOUR
NERVOUS SYSTEM TO DETERMINE WHEN TO
TELL OTHER GLANDS TO PRODUCE
HORMONES.
- IT CONTROLS YOUR MOOD, HUNGER AND
THIRST, SLEEP PATTERNS ETC.
1. HYPOTHALAMUS
2. PITUITARY
- LOCATED AT THE BASE OF YOUR BRAIN
- THIS TINY GLAND MAKES HORMONES
THAT CONTROLS SEVERAL OTHER
GLANDS SUCH AS :
• THYROID
• ADRENAL GLANDS
• OVARIES
• TESTICLES
 HORMONES RELEASE :
• Oxytocin
• Vasopressin
• Growth hormone
• Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
• Prolactin
• Luteinizing hormone
• Follicles stimulating hormone (FSH)
3. PINEAL
- THE SMALLEST GLAND
- IT BALANCES THE RHYTHM OF THE BODY AND
SECRETES MELATONIN HORMONE OR SLEEP
HORMONE.
- IT IS ALSO CALLED "THIRD EYE" BECAUSE IT'S
PRIMARY FUNCTION IS "LETTING IN LIGHT AND
DARKNESS" JUST AS YOUR TWO EYES DO.
- IT SENDS SIGNALS THAT MAKE SOMEONE
FEEL "TIRED, SLEEPY, WAKE UP AND FEEL
ALERT"
3. PINEAL
4. THYROID
- THYROID IS THE BUTTERFLY SHAPED
GLAND IN THE FRONT OF YOUR NECK.
(BELOW VOICE BOX)
- IT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR METABOLISM
HEART RATE AND BODY TEMPERATURE

HORMONES RELEASE : THYROID,

CALCITONIN
4. THYROID
5. PARATHYROID
- THESE TINY GLANDS CONTROL THE
REGULATION OF THE CALCIUM LEVEL IN
THE BLOOD
- LOCATED IN THE NECK

HORMONES RELEASE : PARATHYROME

5. PARATHYROID
6. Thymus

- THIS GLAND HELPS TRAIN THE WHITE

BLOOD CELLS THAT PROTECT YOUR IMMUNE
SYSTEM.

- ALSO HORMONES RELEASE BY THE

THYMUS INHIBIT THE AGING PROCESS.
6. Thymus
Bonus points:
. can anyone guess how
may Adrenal glands we
have?
7. ADRENAL
- YOU HAVE TWO ADRENAL GLANDS

- ONE ON TOP OF EACH KIDNEY

- THEY CONTROL YOUR BLOOD

PRESSURE, BLOOD DEVELOPMENT AND
STRESS RESPONSE.
HORMONES PRODUCE:ADRENALINE
7. ADRENAL
8. KIDNEY
- THE KIDNEY IS TRADITIONALLY
REGARDED AS AN "EXOCRINE GLAND"
PRODUCING URINE TO REGULATE BODY
FLUID VOLUME IN COMPOSITION AND TO
EXCRETE NITROGENOUS WASTES.
9. PANCREAS
- IT IS THE LARGEST GLAND AND IT PERFORMS
TWO MAIN FUNCTION:
• EXOCRINE FUNCTION
° ENZYMES THAT HELP WITH DIGESTION ( LIPASE,
AMYLASE , PROTEASE )
• ENDOCRINE FUNCTION
° SENDS OUT HORMONES THAT CONTROLS THE
AMOUNT OF SUGAR IN YOUR BLOODSTREAM.
- LOCATED BETWEEN THE KIDNEYS
-HORMONES PRODUCED : INSULIN , GLUCAGON
9. PANCREAS
10. OVARIES
- WOMEN HAVE TWO OVARIES IN THEIR
LOWER ABDOMEN, ONE ON EITHER SIDE

- THE OVARIES RELEASE SEX HORMONES

CALLED "ESTROGEN AND
PROGESTERONE"

- IT INFLUENCE FEMALE TRAITS, AND

SUPPORT REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION.
10. OVARIES
11. TESTES
- IN MEN , THE TESTES MAKE SPERM AND
RELEASE THE HORMONE "TESTOSTERONE" THIS
HORMONE AFFECT SPERM PRODUCTION AND
MUSCLE STRENGTH.

- LOCATED IN LOWER ABDOMEN

- IT CONTROL MATURATION AND MALE

CHARACTERISTICS
10. OVARIES
- WOMEN HAVE TWO OVARIES IN THEIR
LOWER ABDOMEN, ONE ON EITHER SIDE

- THE OVARIES RELEASE SEX HORMONES

CALLED "ESTROGEN AND
PROGESTERONE"

- IT INFLUENCE FEMALE TRAITS, AND

SUPPORT REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION.
 Effects of
Hormones in
the Body
• Several processes in the body are coordinated by
hormones which regulate and balance the working
of organs, tissues, and cells. The endocrine
system influences how your heart beats, how your
bones and tissues develop, and even your capacity
to have a baby. It plays an essential role in the
occurrence of disorders such as diabetes, thyroid
disease, growth disorders and/or sexual
dysfunction.
1. Obesity

• A MEDICAL CONDITION CHARACTERIZED

BY AN EXCESS OF BODY FAT IT IS OFTEN
MEASURED BY BODY MASS INDEX (BMI).
2. Osteoporosis
• A CONDITION CHARACTERIZED BY
WEAKENED AND POROUS BONES,
LEADING TO AN INCREASED RISK OF
FRACTURES.
3. Dwarfism
• A CONDITION CHARACTERIZED BY SHORT
STATURE, TYPICALLY RESULTING FROM A
GENETIC OR MEDICAL CONDITION THAT
IMPAIRS NORMAL GROWTH.
4. Gigantism
• A CONDITION CHARACTERIZED BY
EXCESSIVE GROWTH AND HEIGHT, OFTEN
CAUSED BY AN OVERPRODUCTION OF
GROWTH HORMONE DURING
CHILDHOOD.
5. Goiter
• THE ENLARGEMENT OF THE THYROID
GLAND, TYPICALLY DUE TO IODINE
DEFICIENCY OR OTHER THYROID
DISORDERS.
