Endocrine System
The endocrine system is composed of
endocrine glands distributed throughout the
body. The endocrine glands are pituitary,
thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pancreas,
gonads (ovaries and testes), and thymus.

Functions of the Endocrine System
• The endocrine system regulates body
activities through the use of chemical
messengers called hormones, which when
released into the bloodstream influence
metabolic activities, growth, and
development.

Endocrine Glands
• pituitary: approximately the size of a pea,
located at the base of the brain and is divided
into two lobes
– anterior lobe produces hormones
• growth hormone (GH)
• adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
• thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
• gonadotropic: follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH),
luteinizing hormone (LH)
• prolactin releasing or lactogenic hormone (PRH)

Endocrine Glands (cont’d)
• pituitary (cont’d)
– anterior lobe produces hormones
(cont’d)
• antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
• oxytocin
• hypothalamus: located near the pituitary
gland in the brain that secretes “releasing”
hormone that functions to stimulate or
inhibit the release of pituitary gland
hormones

Endocrine Glands (cont’d)
• thyroid: largest endocrine gland located in
the neck below the larynx
– produces hormones
• triiodothyronine (T3)
• thyroxine (T4)
• parathyroid: four small bodies embedded in
the posterior lobes of the thyroid gland
– produces hormone
• parathormone (PTH)

9
Endocrine Glands (cont’d)
• islets of Langerhans: clusters of
endocrine tissue found throughout the
pancreas
– secretes hormones
• insulin
• glucagon
• produces enzymes that facilitate digestion

10
Endocrine Glands (cont’d)
• adrenal glands: paired glands, one above
each kidney. The outer portion is called the
cortex, and the inner portion is called the
medulla.
– secrete hormones
• cortisol (hydrocortisone)
• aldosterone
• epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine
(noradrenaline)

A 55-year-old female patient presented to her
doctor because of a 10-pound weight gain,
fatigue, hair loss, dry skin, and cold intolerance.
She was referred to an endocrinologist, who
established a diagnosis of hypothyroidism
after test results indicated an elevated thyroidstimulating hormone (TSH) level and a low
thyroxine level. Thyroid hormone therapy was
prescribed.

Approximately 20 years ago, she was
diagnosed with Graves disease, characterized
by hyperthyroidism, exophthalmos, fatigue,
irritability, weight loss, and goiter. At this time,
she had an increased radioactive iodine
uptake (RAIU). Treatment included a
thyroidectomy with subsequent thyroid
hormone therapy.

She remained in a euthyroid state until she
stopped taking the medication 6 months
ago. Consequently, she became hypothyroid
and could easily have developed
myxedema if she had not sought treatment.
