2. EXOCRINE GLANDS GIVE OFF CHEMICALS THROUGH DUCTS OR TUBES INTO NEARBY ORGANS DO NOT PRODUCE HORMONES PRODUCE TEARS, SWEAT, OIL, AND DIGESTIVE JUICES

3. ENDOCRINE SYSTEM GLANDS THAT PRODUCE CHEMICAL MESSENGERS CALLED HORMONES RELEASED DIRECTLY INTO THE BLOOD

5. HORMONES TURN ON OR OFF SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES OF ORGANS DELIVERED BY CIRCULATORY SYSTEM TISSUE CELLS ARE PROGRAMMED TO ACCEPT CERTAIN HORMONES AND REJECT OTHERS

6. THE HUMAN BODY HAS EIGHT ENDOCRINE GLANDS THAT RELEASE DIFFERENT HORMONES

7. HYPOTHALAMUS LOCATED AT BASE OF BRAIN MAJOR LINK BETWEEN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND ENDOCRINE SYSTEM CONTROLS THE SEVEN OTHER ENDOCRINE GLANDS

8. MESSAGES TRAVELING TO AND FROM THE BRAIN PASS THROUGH THE HYPOTHALAMUS

9. PITUITARY CENTER OF SKULL BEHIND BRIDGE OF NOSE TALKS TO HYPOTHALAMUS THROUGH CHEMICALS AND NERVE IMPULSES BLOOD PRESSURE, GROWTH, METABOLISM, SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT, AND REPRODUCTION

11. THYMUS BEHIND STERNUM GETS SMALLER AS YOU GROW – BY ADULTHOOD – SIZE OF THUMB DEVELOPMENT OF IMMUNE SYSTEM INFANCY – PRODUCES WHITE BLOOD CELLS

12. THYROID IN NECK CONTROLS HOW QUICKLY FOOD IS BURNED UP BY THE BODY (METABOLISM)

13. PARATHYROIDS EMBEDED IN THYROID CONTROLS THE LEVEL OF CALCUIM IN THE BLOOD

15. ADRENALS ON TOP OF KIDNEYS REACTION TO A DANGEROUS SITUATION –PRODUCES ADRENALINE – THE BODY’S EMERGENCY ACTION TEAM

16. ADRENAL GLAND

17. PANCREAS LOCATED BY SMALL INTESTINE INSULIN – KEEPS BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS UNDER CONTROL HELPS THE BODY ABSORB IT AND USE IT FOR ENERGY CHANGES SUGAR INTO GLYCOGEN FOR STORAGE

18. DIABETES MELLITUS – DROP IN INSULIN PRODUCTION –INSULIN PRODUCED BY SMALL GROUP OF CELLS CALLED ISLETS OF LANGERHAUS –ISLETS ALSO PRODUCE GLUCAGON – OPPOSITE EFFECT OF INSULIN INCREASES BLOOD SUGAR LEVEL

19. OVARIES FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE GLANDS

20. TESTES MALE REPRODUCTIVE GLANDS

21. NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLS THE LEVELS OF HORMONES IN THE BODY PRODUCTION OF A HORMONE IS CONTROLLED BY THE AMOUNT OF ANOTHER HORMONE IN THE BLOOD THEREBY KEEPING THE BODY’S INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT STABLE

22. EXAMPLE: –THE PITUITARY IS SENTITIVE TO THYROXINE (PRODUCED BY THE THYROID) IF TOO LOW – TSH (THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE) IS RELEASED
