ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
The endocrine system is
composed of glands that
secrete different types of
hormones that affect
almost every cell, organ,
and function of our body.
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
The endocrine system is
composed of different
glands which secrete
hormones that regulate
metabolism, growth and
development, mood, and
reproduction.
HORMONES
The glands that make up
the endocrine system
produce chemical
messengers called
hormones that travel
through the blood to
other parts of the body.
HORMONES
• organic substances released by the
glands of the endocrine system directly
into the bloodstream
• can change the physiological and
metabolic behaviors of its target cells
to maintain homeostasis
BRAIN
The brain relies on chemical
messengers sent by the endocrine
system to transmit instructions
around the body via the nervous
system to key organs for growth and
metabolism.

Thyroid Stimulating
Hormone (TSH)
It is the primary
stimulus for thyroid
hormone production
by the thyroid gland.
THYROID
The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland
in your neck. It makes two hormones that
are secreted into the blood: thyroxine (T4)
and triiodothyronine (T3). These
hormones are necessary for all the cells in
your body to work normally.
THYROID

Thyroid Hormone
The hormone that
controls your body's
metabolism
PARATHYROID
The parathyroid glands are two pairs of
small, oval-shaped glands. They are
located next to the two thyroid gland
lobes in the neck. Each gland is usually
about the size of a pea.
PARATHYROID
Hormone Function
Parathormone
It plays a key role in
the regulation of
calcium levels in the
blood.
THYMUS
Located behind your sternum and
between your lungs, is only active until
puberty. After puberty, the thymus starts
to slowly shrink and become replaced by
fat. Thymosin is the hormone of the
thymus, and it stimulates the
development of disease-fighting T cells.
THYMUS
Hormone Function
Thymosin
It stimulates the
development of
disease-fighting T

ADRENAL GLANDS
They produce many important
hormones, including cortisol,
aldosterone, and adrenaline. The
adrenal hormones help regulate several
bodily functions including metabolism,
blood pressure, and your body's
response to stress.
ADRENAL GLANDS

THE ROLE OF HORMONES IN FEMALE AND MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS
Reproduction is a normal process
controlled by hormones. These hormones
keep both the male and female
reproductive systems functioning
properly. The pituitary gland controls the
functions of both the testes and ovaries.
ROLE OF HORMONES IN MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS
Hypothalamus triggers the production of GnRH.
1 (Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone)
GnRH commands Pituitary Gland to release LH and FSH.
2 (Luteinizing Hormone and Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
FSH enters the testes to stimulate Sertoli Cells to produce Androgen
Binding Protein (ABP).
ABP enhances the spermatogenic cells to readily bind with Testosterone to stimulate Spermatogenesis.
LH enters the testes to stimulate Leydig Cells to release Testosterone.

ROLE OF HORMONES IN FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS
Hypothalamus triggers the production of GnRH.
1 (Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone)
GnRH commands Pituitary Gland to release LH and FSH.
2 (Luteinizing Hormone and Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
FSH stimulates the follicles to produce cells around it that will in turn
produce estrogen.
Estrogen controls the growth (Oogenesis) and release of eggs from the ovaries.
LH stimulates ovulation and after the egg was released the remaining
cells will turn yellow and will produce Progesterone.
3
Progesterone prepares the uterus so that fertilized egg can grow in it.
ROLE OF HORMONES IN FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS
Hypothalamus triggers the production of GnRH.
1 (Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone)
GnRH commands Pituitary Gland to release LH and FSH.
2 (Luteinizing Hormone and Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
FSH stimulates the follicles to produce

estrogen.
LH stimulates ovulation and after the egg was
released the remaining cells will turn yellow
and will produce Progesterone.

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM DISORDER
Hormonal imbalance will occur if the organs and hormones of
your body do not produce the right amount of chemicals
needed which in turn may lead to some dysfunctions.
1. Osteoporosis 3. Gigantism
2. Goiter 4. Dwarfism
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM DISORDER
Osteoporosis
a disease that happens when the mineral
density of the bone is reduced making it
brittle and porous
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM DISORDER
Goiter
an abnormal enlargement of the thyroid
gland, results from the underproduction or
overproduction of thyroid hormones
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM DISORDER
Gigantism
a disorder that happens during
childhood when there is an abnormal
increase in height associated with too
much secretion of growth hormones
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM DISORDER
Dwarfism
a condition wherein the production of
growth hormones in the pituitary gland is
insufficient resulting in short stature

Editor's Notes

  • #4 The idea of protein synthesis is often known as the central dogma of molecular biology
  • #5 …..And now, let’s have some brain teaser, raise your hand if you know the answer.
  • #8 The endocrine and nervous systems work closely together. The brain sends instructions to the endocrine system. In return, it gets constant feedback from the glands.
  • #9 Hormones are chemicals that coordinate different functions in your body by carrying messages through your blood to your organs, skin, muscles and other tissues. These signals tell your body what to do and when to do it. Hormones are essential for life and your health.
  • #11 It's a part of your endocrine system and secretes the hormone melatonin. Your pineal gland's main job is to help control the circadian cycle of sleep and wakefulness by secreting melatonin. The pineal gland is shaped like a tiny pinecone, which is how it got its name (“pine”-al gland).
  • #12 It's a part of your endocrine system and secretes the hormone melatonin. Your pineal gland's main job is to help control the circadian cycle of sleep and wakefulness by secreting melatonin. The pineal gland is shaped like a tiny pinecone, which is how it got its name (“pine”-al gland).
  • #13 Your hypothalamus, a structure deep in your brain, acts as your body’s smart control coordinating center. Its main function is to keep your body in a stable state called homeostasis. It does its job by directly influencing your autonomic nervous system or by managing hormones. Many conditions can damage your hypothalamus, which can affect many bodily functions.
  • #14 As different systems and parts of the body send signals to the brain, they can alert the hypothalamus to any unbalanced factors that need addressing. The hypothalamus responds by stimulating relevant endocrine activity to address this balance. For example, if the hypothalamus receives a signal that the internal temperature is too high, it will tell the body to sweat. If it receives the signal that the temperature is too cold, the body will create its own heat by shivering. It also plays a role in: growth thirst appetite weight control emotions sleep-wake cycles sex drive childbirth breast milk production
  • #17 A small, pea-sized gland located at the base of your brain below your hypothalamus It sits in its own little chamber under your brain known as the sella turcica. ACTH or corticotrophin plays a role in how your body responds to stress. In children, growth hormone stimulates growth. In other words, it helps children grow taller. In adults, growth hormone helps maintain healthy muscles and bones and impacts fat distribution. Produces hormones that stimulate growth, and controls the functions of other glands
  • #18 Oxytocin is a natural hormone that stimulates uterine contractions in childbirth and lactation after childbirth.
  • #25 Thyroid’s main job is to control the speed of your metabolism (metabolic rate), which is the process of how your body transforms the food you consume into energy. Produces hormones that control the calcium levels in your body and normalize bone growth. Produces hormones that regulate body metabolism, and storage of calcium in bones
  • #26 Thyroid hormone is the hormone that controls your body's metabolism, the process in which your body transforms the food you eat into energy.
  • #27 Thyroid’s main job is to control the speed of your metabolism (metabolic rate), which is the process of how your body transforms the food you consume into energy. Produces hormones that control the calcium levels in your body and normalize bone growth. Produces hormones that regulate body metabolism, and storage of calcium in bones
  • #28 Thyroid’s main job is to control the speed of your metabolism (metabolic rate), which is the process of how your body transforms the food you consume into energy. Produces hormones that control the calcium levels in your body and normalize bone growth. Produces hormones that regulate body metabolism, and storage of calcium in bones
  • #29 The thymus gland will not function throughout a full lifetime, but it has a big responsibility when it’s active—helping the body protect itself against autoimmunity, which occurs when the immune system turns against itself. 
  • #30 The thymus gland will not function throughout a full lifetime, but it has a big responsibility when it’s active—helping the body protect itself against autoimmunity, which occurs when the immune system turns against itself. Therefore, the thymus plays a vital role in the lymphatic system (your body’s defense network) and endocrine system. Before birth and throughout childhood, the thymus is instrumental in the production and maturation of T-lymphocytes or T cells, a specific type of white blood cell that protects the body from certain threats, including viruses and infections. The thymus produces and secretes thymosin, a hormone necessary for T cell development and production.
  • #31 located on top of your kidneys, their name directly relates to their location (ad—near or at; renes—kidneys) Also known as suprarenal glands Cortisol which helps regulate metabolism and helps your body respond to stress Aldosterone, which maintains the right balance of salt and water while helping control blood pressure. Adrenaline (Epinephrine) help you prepare for stressful or dangerous situations
  • #32 located on top of your kidneys, their name directly relates to their location (ad—near or at; renes—kidneys) Also known as suprarenal glands Cortisol which helps regulate metabolism and helps your body respond to stress Aldosterone, which maintains the right balance of salt and water while helping control blood pressure. Adrenaline (Epinephrine) help you prepare for stressful or dangerous situations
  • #33 The pancreas has dual roles - it is an organ of the digestive system and of the endocrine system
  • #36 Produces sperm cell. Testosterone is an important hormone during male development and maturation for developing muscles, deepening the voice, and growing body hair.
  • #37 Produces sperm cell. Testosterone is an important hormone during male development and maturation for developing muscles, deepening the voice, and growing body hair.
  • #38 Ovaries produce and release two groups of sex hormones—progesterone and estrogen. There are actually three major estrogens, known as estradiol, estrone, and estriol. These substances work together to promote the healthy development of female sex characteristics during puberty and to ensure fertility. Estrogen (estradiol, specifically) is instrumental in breast development, fat distribution in the hips, legs, and breasts, and the development of reproductive organs. To a lesser extent, the ovaries release the hormone relaxin prior to giving birth. Another minor hormone is inhibin, which is important for signaling to the pituitary to inhibit follicle-stimulating hormone secretion.
  • #39 Estrogen contributes to cognitive healthTrusted Source, bone health, the function of the cardiovascular systemTrusted Source, and other essential bodily processes.
  • #40 Estrogen contributes to cognitive healthTrusted Source, bone health, the function of the cardiovascular systemTrusted Source, and other essential bodily processes.
  • #41 A human being depends on reproduction for the continued production of species. If humans stop to reproduce, the human species will become extinct………………………..
  • #42 Inhibin Hormone - FSH
  • #46 Parathyroid hormone secretion is one of the possible causes of this disease.
