Endocrine system
 Endocrine
glands make hormones secreted by
which go directly into bloodstream.
 Major
pituitary glands- pituitary, thyroid,
parathyroid, adrenals, Islets of Langerhans(in the pancreas)
 Growth
Hormone (GH)
 Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
 Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
 Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
 Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
 Prolactin Hormone (PRL)
 Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
 Oxytocin
 Pituitary Thyroid-
master gland
regulates metabolism
 Parathyroid
 Islets
glands- PTH regulates blood Ca
of Langerhans- found throughout
pancreas, secrete insulin, glucagon.
 Hormone
made in Islets of Langerhans-
 Raises
blood sugar level, has opposite effect
of insulin
 Released
by pancreas when blood sugar level
is too low.
 Causes
liver to convert stored glycogen into
glucose.
 Hormone
 Regulates
made in Islets of Langerhansenergy and glucose metabolism in
the body.
 Lowers
high blood sugar levels.
 Causes
cells in liver, muscle, fat tissue to
take up glucose from blood.
 Stored
as glycogen in liver and muscle.
Cortisol
Epinephrine
Norepinephrine

bodies resulting from excessive fat
metabolism.
Enlargement
Caused
of the thyroid gland
by ___ deficiency
Condition
brought about by over
production of growth hormone
Condition
affects nerves causing
muscle spasms. Caused by low ____
blood. Due to a deficiency of
______ hormone.
 Resistance
of body cells to the action of
insulin. Usually occurs in middle-aged or
elderly pts. Diet, exercise, meds, insulin can
help.

cells are destroyed, eventually insulin
not produced. Occurs in childhood.
