 Endocrine System
The endocrine system is
composed of glands that
secretes different types of
hormones that affect almost
every cell, organ, and function of
our body.
 Hormones
Are organic substances released
by the glands of the endocrine
system directly into the
bloodstream.
 Hormones
Hormones can change the
physiological and metabolic
behaviors of their target cells to
maintain homeostasis.
Homeostasis
Any self-regulating process by which
biological systems tend to maintain
stability while adjusting to conditions
that are optimal for survival.
1. What are the major endocrine
glands?
2. Where is the location of each
gland?
3. What are the hormones that each
gland produce?
The Major Endocrine Glands

Pituitary Thyroid
Parathyroid Thymus
Adrenal Pancreas
Ovaries Testes
 Gland Hormones Function Location
Pituitary Gland Growth Hormone Produces At the base of
(GH) hormones that the brain
Oxytocin stimulate growth,
Prolactin (PRL) and controls the
Luteinizing functions of other
Hormone (LH) glands
Follicle
Stimulating
Hormone (FSH)
Adrenocorticotro
pic Hormone
(ACTH)
Antidiuretic
Hormone (AH)
Gland Hormones Function Location
Thyroid Thyroid Produces In front of
hormone hormones the neck and
that below the
regulate body voice box
metabolism,
and storage
of calcium in
bones
 Gland Hormones Function Location
Parathyroid Parathormone Produces In the neck
hormones
that
control the
calcium levels
in your body,
and
normalizes
bone growth
 Gland Hormones Function Location
Thymus Thymosin Produces In front of
hormones the heart
that
enable the
body to
produce
T cells before
puberty
Gland Hormones Function Location
Adrenal Adrenaline Produces On top of
hormones the kidneys
that
affects
metabolism,
immune
system and
blood
pressure,
stress
reaction
 Gland Hormones Function Location
Pancreas Insulin, Produce Behind the
Glucagon hormones stomach
that
regulate
blood sugar
levels
 Gland Hormones Function Location
Testes Testosterone Produces Scrotum
(Males) hormones
that
control
maturation of
sperm and
development
of
the
secondary
male sexual
characteristic
s
 Gland Hormones Function Location
Ovaries Estrogen, Produces Pelvic area
(Females) Progesterone hormones that
influence
development of
the secondary
female
sexual
characteristics,
and
maturation of
the egg cells
and ovulation
Growth Hormone (GH)
- hormone that stimulates growth, peak during
puberty Prolactin (PRL)
- milk production and the development of
mammary glands within breast tissues.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
- in male, it triggers the testes to produce
testosterone.
- in female, it triggers the ovaries to release
hormones.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
- in female, it control the menstrual cycle and
the production of eggs by the ovaries.
- in male, controls the production of sperm.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)
- stimulate the adrenal glands to release
hormones.
Antidiuretic Hormone (AH)
- causes the kidneys to release less water,
decreasing the amount of urine produced.
Thyroid hormone
- regulate body metabolism, and storage of
calcium in bones
Parathormone
- control the calcium levels in your body, and
normalizes bone growth
Thymosin
- enable the body to produce T cells before
puberty
T cells recognize antigens and pathogens.
Adrenaline
- helps you react quickly if you are faced with an
exciting, stressful or dangerous situation.
Insulin
- decrease blood glucose levels
Glucagon
-increase blood glucose levels
Testosterone
- control maturation of sperm and development
of the secondary male sexual characteristics
Estrogen
- influence development of the secondary female
sexual characteristics, and maturation of the
egg cells and ovulation
Progesterone
- to prepare the endometrium (lining of your
uterus) for a fertilized egg to implant and grow.
