Did you know about the

word puberty?
Puberty is the process of physical changes
through which a child's body matures into an
adult body capable of sexual reproduction.
What have you observed in your
body during your puberty
stage?
Activity 1. Venn Diagram
Direction: Complete the Venn diagram below in the right
circle, put the female changes during puberty, on the left
circle put the male changes during puberty. In the middle, put
the similarities of changes both female and male during
puberty.

HORMONES
CONCEPT MAP
On your book on page 145
HEMEOSTASIS
- a state of balance among all the body systems
needed for the body to survive and function correctly
ENDOCRINE GLAND
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
-made up of endocrine glands that - Organ that makes
secretes hormones that control activitiesand puts out hormones
such as metabolism, reproduction, growth,
and development in the human body. to do specific function
MAIN FUNCTION: To secrete hormones
or task in our body.
HORMONES
-chemical substances that act like messenger in the
body. They are being made in one part of the body and
travel to the other parts where they can help on how
the cells or the organs work.
-secreted by glands
-are released into the bloodstream and then carried to
the receptor sites, where they await to be activated to
perform their function.
REPRODUCTIVE HORMONES

1.Male (TESTES)-sperm
cell
2.Female (OVARIES)-
egg cell
Reproductive Hormones are responsible for sexual
development and drivers of human reproduction.
1. Male Gonads: (TESTES)- pair of sperm producing organs that maintain the
health of the male reproductive system.
HORMONES PRODUCED:
1. Testosterone
FUNCTION: this reproductive hormone helps develop and maintain male sex characteristics
and in the production of sperm in the testes MAJOR SEX HORMONE
2. Androgen
FUNCTION: promotes the development and maintenance of male sex characteristics
3. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
FUNCTION: this hormone helps control the production of sperm in the testes.
4. Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
FUNCTION: produced and released in the anterior pituitary gland the Luteinizing Hormone
stimulates testosterone production from the intersitial cells of the testes (Leydig cells).
3. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
FUNCTION: this hormone helps control the
production of sperm in the testes.

4. Luteinizing Hormone (LH)


FUNCTION: produced and released in the anterior
pituitary gland the Luteinizing Hormone stimulates
testosterone production from the intersitial cells of the
testes (Leydig cells).
High testosterone levels can cause
various symptoms including, body
hair growth, mood disturbances,
and acne.

Too much may increase the


risk of health problems, such
as an enlarged prostate gland.
Spermatogenesis is influenced by
the testosterone during puberty
that is responsible for the
development of secondary sex
characteristics in males.
2. Female Gonads: (OVARY)- make egg cells and secrete the female
hormones
HORMONES PRODUCED:
1. Estrogen
FUNCTION: involved when a girl starts puberty. Secondary characteristics.
2. Progesterone
FUNCTION: affects regulation of menstrual cycle; maintains pregnancy
3. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
FUNCTION: stimulates development of egg cells, called ova, which develop in
structures called follicles.
4. Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
FUNCTION: plays a role in the development of egg cell, induction of ovulation,
and stimulation of estrogen and progesterone production by the ovaries.
3. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
FUNCTION: stimulates development of egg cells,
called ova, which develop in structures called
follicles.
4. Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
FUNCTION: plays a role in the development of
egg cell, induction of ovulation, and stimulation of
estrogen and progesterone production by the
ovaries.
Oogenesis is the production
or development of an ovum
OTHER ENDOCRINE GLANDS
1. HYPOTHALAMUS- links the nervous and endocrine system.
Responsible for body temperature, hunger, mood, release of
hormones from other glands, controls thirst, sleep and sexual urge
HORMONES PRODUCED:
2. Oxytocin
FUNCTION: controls many important behaviors and emotions, such as
sexual arousal, trust, recognition, and maternal behavior

2. Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH)


FUNCTION: causes the pituitary gland to produce important
reproductive hormones, such as FSH and LH
OTHER ENDOCRINE GLANDS
2. PITUITARY GLAND – also known as “master
gland” (Anterior and Posterior)
HORMONES PRODUCED:
Posterior
1. Oxytocin
FUNCTION: initiates labor in pregnant women initiates
milk ejection reflex
2. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
FUNCTION: stimulates water reabsorption by kidneys
OTHER ENDOCRINE GLANDS
Anterior
1. Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
FUNCTION: target cells throughout the body by stimulating their growth, repair and
reproduction
2. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
FUNCTION: it helps control the production of sperm in the testes (male)
3. Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
FUNCTION: stimulates testosterone production from the intersitial cells of the testes
(Leydig Cells)
4. Prolactin (PRL)
FUNCTION: promotes lactation/activates milk production in women who are breastfeeding
5. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
FUNCTION: stimulates thyroid gland to make thyroid hormones
OTHER ENDOCRINE GLANDS
Anterior
3. Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
FUNCTION: stimulates testosterone production from the intersitial
cells of the testes (Leydig Cells)

4. Prolactin (PRL)
FUNCTION: promotes lactation/activates milk production in women
who are breastfeeding

5. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)


FUNCTION: stimulates thyroid gland to make thyroid hormones
OTHER ENDOCRINE GLANDS
3. PINEAL GLAND- also called “pineal body”

HORMONES PRODUCED:
1. Melatonin
FUNCTION: a hormone that may help regulate
when you sleep at night and when you wake up in
the morning
OTHER ENDOCRINE GLANDS
4. THYROID GLAND- shaped like “bow tie” or butterfly. It uses iodine
from food ro make two thyroid hormones:
HORMONES PRODUCED:
1. Triiodothyronine (T3)
FUNCTION: increases metabolism, blood pressure and regulates tissue
growth
2. Thyroxine (T4)
FUNCTION: regulate the rate at which calories are burned, can slowdown
or speed up the heartbeat, can raise or lower body temperature, control the
way muscles contract, control the rate at which dying cells are replaced.
3. Calcitocin
FUNCTION: regulates blood calcium levels through uptake by bone
OTHER ENDOCRINE GLANDS
5. PARATHYROID GLAND- increases blood
calcium levels through action on bone, kidneys, and
intestines.
HORMONES PRODUCED:
1. Melatonin
FUNCTION: a hormone that may help regulate
when you sleep at night and when you wake up in
the morning
OTHER ENDOCRINE GLANDS
6. THYMUS GLAND- part of lymphatic system
(The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and organs that regulates the
amount of fluid in the human body and defends it against infections),
relatively large in infants and grows until puberty, in
adulthood, it starts to slowly shrink and become
replaced by fat.
HORMONES PRODUCED:
1. Thymosin
FUNCTION: increases the immune response as well as
stimulating pituitary hormones such as growth hormone.
CHILD BORN WITHOUT A THYMUS
GLAND

A rare disorder
According to (NORD) NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR
RARE DISORDER
OTHER ENDOCRINE GLANDS
7. PANCREAS- produce hormones that regulate
blood sugar
HORMONES PRODUCED:

1. Insulin
FUNCTION: lowers blood sugar level
2. Glucagon
FUNCTION: increase blood sugar level
OTHER ENDOCRINE GLANDS
8. ADRENAL GLANDS- adrenaline also known as
“epinephrine”, rapidly response to stress , increasing your heart
rate, rushing
HORMONES PRODUCED:
1.Adrenal cortex
FUNCTION: helps control salt/water balance in the body, body’s
response to stress, metabolism, the immune system, sexual
development and function.
2. Adrenal medulla
FUNCTION: increases blood pressure and heart rate when the
body is under stress
Give three examples of
hormones working in
your body and explain
how they affect you
What is the role of the
hormones involved in the
female and male
reproductive system?
What are the different endocrine
glands?

Give deficiencies caused by


hormonal imbalance?
Group Activity: Quiz Bee

Mechanics of the Game:


1. The students are grouped into 6 groups with 5 members.
2. Each group will be given an illustration board and chalk.
3. Assigned one secretary each group. He/she will be the one to write

be given 5 seconds to answer what is being asked.
5. Wrong spelling is wrong
6. The group who will get the highest scores will be the winner
