, The endocrine system plays a very important role in regulating metabolism, tissue
function, growth and development, as well as mood, sexual function, and
reproductive processes. - ANSWERS-The major glands that make up the human
endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary, pineal, thyroid, parathyroid,
thymus, mammary glands, adrenals, pancreas, and the reproductive glands, which
include the ovaries and testes.
The hypothalamus gland is located in the lower central part of the brain and it
releases special chemicals that control the hormones produced by the pituitary
gland. - ANSWERS-The pituitary is considered the most powerful gland of the
endocrine system. It is situated at the base of the brain, just beneath the
hypothalamus.
The pituitary gland is divided into lobes: the anterior and the posterior lobe. The
anterior pituitary produces the following hormones: growth hormone, which
stimulates the growth of bone and body tissues; adrenocorticotropic, which
stimulates the adrenal gland; thyroid-stimulating hormone, which stimulates the
thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones; gonadotropic hormones, which
stimulate the ovaries and testes to secrete sex hormones; and prolactin, which
stimulates the milk production in breastfeeding women.
The posterior pituitary produces the following hormones: oxytocin, which
stimulates contractions of the uterus and the ejection of milk; and antidiuretic
hormone, which helps control body-water balance. - ANSWERS-The pineal gland is
a tiny gland located in the middle of the brain. It produces melatonin, which is
secreted through the night in the absence of light and helps to regulate the sleep
cycle.
Four tiny parathyroid glands are attached to the thyroid. These glands release
parathyroid hormone, which increases the level of calcium in the blood and
