Summary Introduction
To review:
The tissues or organs that are not endocrine glands but still they are able to secrete hormones.
Introduction:
The endocrine glands are those glands that secrete chemical mediators, known as hormones. Hormones are regulatory substances which are produced and transported into tissue fluids like blood and controls the activity of cells or organs. Types of endocrine glands are pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal gland, and parathyroid gland etc.
There are some glands that are not exclusively endocrine in nature but still release hormones.

(b) List the hormones produced by each organ.arrow_forwardThe endocrine system encompasses several different glands and hormones. After reading about the endocrine system, which do you think is the most interesting hormone or gland? Why? What diseases and surgeries are associated with this hormone or gland (name at least one disease and one surgery)?arrow_forwardNeuroendocrine glands are glands that are made up of both nervous tissue and endocrine tissue. This means that they can be directly stimulated by the nervous system to produce or release hormones. The pituitary gland and parathyroid gland are examples.Describe a situation/example for each (pituitary gland and parathyroid gland) that demonstrates the function mentioned above. Be specific.arrow_forward
- The endocrine system is composed of glands that secrete hormones that regulate the activity of different body cells. The pituitary gland is often called the "master gland" because it controls the activities of other glands. Discuss a disorder associated with either hypo or hypersecretion of a specific hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. Include in your discussion the answer to the following: What effect will an increase or decrease in production have on the target organs?What signs and symptoms are associated with this condition and how is it treated?arrow_forwardSheehan syndrome is a rare condition in women that results from severe blood loss during or after childbirth. Because of the blood loss, the pituitary gland receives insufficient oxygen and nutrients, which causes the death of cells and a permanent deficiency of hormones from the pituitary gland. Sheehan syndrome can be treated with lifelong hormone replacement therapy. List at least 3 endocrine functions that would likely be affected by Sheehan syndrome and explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardList four chemical categories of hormones.arrow_forward
