1. Endocrine System Tristan Simon Jake Amanda

2. Overview The endocrine system is a radio. It is slower, but it gets out to more people. The chemical messages get to more cells. Endocrine- secretes hormones in to blood stream and extracellular fluid Exocrine-secretes substance directly at the target (Not important yet)

3. Endocrine Glands Pineal Gland Hypothalamus Pituitary Thyroid/Parathyroid Thymus Adrenal Glands Pancreas Gonads (Ovaries and Testes)

4. pineal and hypothalamus Pineal- releases melatonin which helps to regulate the biological clock Hypothalamus- regulates pituitary gland. It makes the hormones that are stored in the pituitary gland

5. pituitary and thyroid/parathyroid Pituitary- Produces hormones that regulate many other endocrine glands. Thyroid/Parathyroid- The thyroid regulates metabolism. The parathyroid regulates the amount of sodium in the blood.

6. thymus and adrenal Thymus- During childhood, the thymus stimulates T-cell development Adrenal- stimulates the production of epinephrine and norepinephrine to aid the body in fight, flight, or, fright situations.

7. Pancreas Pancreas- it produces insulin and glucagon.

8. Gonads (and strife) Ovaries- produce estrogen and progesterone (in females). Responsible for secondary sexual development. Testes- produce testosterone (in males). Responsible for sperm production and secondary sexual development.

9. How the Hormones Work Most hormones work by binding to receptors on the target cells. Steroid hormones can enter a cell and alter DNA sequences. Non-Steroid hormones CAN’T enter a cell, so they have to bind to receptors and use a secondary messenger. Hormones are secreted into extracellular fluid, or directly into the blood stream.
