Components of a NeuronComponents of a NeuronDendrites: The short, branched projections of a neuron that receive impulses from axons terminal on other neurons and conduct them toward the cell body.

Pituitary Gland: is also known as the “master gland” because it secretes many hormones that affect a wide range of behaviors such as growth, pregnancy, mothering, etc.

Thyroid Gland: Secretes hormones involved in metabolism

Hypothyroidism (too little thyroxin) leads to being overweight

Hyperthyroidism (too much thyroxin) leads to weight loss, inability to sleep, excitability, etc.

Adrenal Gland: The outer layer of the adrenal glands secretes cortical steroids which increase resistance to stress and promote muscle development. Cortical steroids also release stored sugar, making energy available for emergencies.

Testosterone: A male sex hormone produced by the testes in the male.

If, in the prenatal period, testosterone is secreted male sex organs develop. However, if testosterone is NOT secreted, female sex organs develop. In adolescence, testosterone aids in the growth of muscle and bone and in the development of primary and secondary sexual characteristics

Estrogen and Progesterone:
