The Pineal GlandInvolved in: Sleep cycles, circadian rhythms
Hormone produced:Melatonin
The Pituitary GlandTHE MASTER GLAND
Divided in to 2 parts:The Anterior
pituitaryThe Posterior
Pituitary
The Pituitary GlandTHE MASTER GLAND
The Anterior Pituitary Involved:
Control of most other glands in the body
Produces 7 important hormones: human growth hormone
(hGH), thyroid-stimulating hormone
(TSH), follicle-stimulating hormone
(FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin (PRL), adrenocorticotropic
hormone (ACTH), melanocyte-stimulating
hormone (MSH).
The Pituitary GlandTHE MASTER GLAND
The Posterior PituitaryInvolved:
Storage & release of 3 two hormones produced in the hypothalamus
Hormones:thyroid-stimulating
hormone (TSH),follicle-stimulating
hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH),
The Thyroid GlandInvolved in:
MetabolismBlood pressureRegulation of tissue
growthDecrease calcium
levels in blood
Hormone produced:Thyroxine Calcitonin
The Parathyroid GlandInvolved in:
Increases calcium levels in blood
Hormone produced:Parathyroid
hormone
The Thymus GlandInvolved in:
Maturation & Training of Immune Cells (T-Cells, etc.)
Hormone produced:Thymosin
The Adrenal GlandsSeparated into 2
parts:
The Adrenal
Cortex
The Adrenal
Medulla
The Adrenal CortexInvolved in:
Long term stress response Increase blood
glucose Increase blood volume
& pressure Immune suppression Water retention
Hormone produced:GlucocorticoidsMineralcorticoids
The Adrenal MedullaInvolved in:
Short term stress response (fight or flight) Increase blood glucose Increase heart rate Vasoconstriction Blood diversion from
stomach to muscles
Hormone produced:Epinephrine
(adrenaline)Norepinephrine
The PancreasIslets of Langerhans
Involved in:Blood glucose
regulation
Hormone produced:Insulin (Beta cells)
Decrease blood sugar levels
Glucagon (Alpha cells) Increase blood sugar
levels
The OvariesInvolved in:
Female reproduction
Female body shape
Hormone produced:EstrogensProgesterone
The TestesInvolved in:
Male reproduction (production of sperm)
Male sex characteristics (e.g. Deep voice, muscle mass, body hair, etc.
Hormone produced:Testosterone
(androgen)
