Endocrine System Vocab 1-6:
Endocrine System – hormones and the glands that produce and secrete them
Gland – group of cells that produces and secretes hormones
Hormones – chemical messengers produced and secreted by glands
Secrete – to produce liquid so that it flows
Duct gland – a channel through which secretions are carried to specific locations in the body (tear & sweat glands)
Ductless gland (Endocrine Glands) – secrete hormones into the blood stream

2. Endocrine System Vocab 7-11:

Endocrine System Vocab 7-11:
Hypothalamus – produces hormones that control the pituitary gland
Pituitary Gland – master gland of the endocrine system
Pineal Gland – influences sleep-wake cycles in our body
Thyroid Gland – produces hormones that controls how the body uses & stores fuel
Metabolism – rate at which cells burn fuel to produce energy

3. Endocrine System Vocab 12-15:

Endocrine System Vocab 12-15:
Pancreas – part of the digestive system, produces hormones that regulate glucose
Insulin – a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates the way the body uses sugar
Adrenal glands – located above each kidney; secretes adrenaline
Adrenaline - a hormone that causes our body to react to a “fight or flight” event

Additional info:
Hypothalamus
Located in the lower central part of the brain
Part of the endocrine and nervous system
Connected to the pituitary gland
Controls the body’s temperature, blood pressure, and emotions
Produces hormones that control the pituitary gland
Pineal Gland
Located in the middle of the brain and produces “sleep-wake” hormone

Glands of the Endocrine system:
Pituitary gland
Pineal gland
Hypothalamus
Thyroid
Parathyroids
Pancreas
Adrenal glands

6. Human body has two types of glands:
9/8/2018
Human body has two types of glands:
duct glands = exocrine glands (tear, sweat, and salivary glands)
ductless glands = endocrine glands

7. Duct Glands vs. Ductless Glands
9/8/2018
Duct Glands vs. Ductless Glands
Endocrine Glands:
secrete (give off) chemicals called hormones
different hormones control various body processes

8. 1. Pituitary gland Located at the bottom of the brain (pea sized)
9/8/2018
1. Pituitary gland
Located at the bottom of the brain (pea sized)
secretes hormones that control other glands
such as: growth, water balance, endorphins (pain sensitivity)
Called the “master gland”

9. 2. Pineal Gland Located in the middle of the brain
Produces “sleep-wake” hormone Pineal Gland Video

10. 3. Hypothalamus Produces hormones that control the pituitary gland

3. Hypothalamus
Produces hormones that control the pituitary gland
Located in the lower central part of the brain
Part of the endocrine and nervous system
Controls the body’s temperature, blood pressure, and emotions

11. Parathyroids - four tiny glands attached to the thyroid

4. Thyroid gland:
Located in the front part of lower neck (below the “voice box”)
Shaped like a bow tie or butterfly
Secretes a hormone that controls the rate at which the body burns and uses food (metabolism)
Controlled by the pituitary gland
Thyroid & Parathyroid Gland Video
Parathyroids - four tiny glands attached to the thyroid
regulate the level of calcium in the body

12. 5. Pancreas: Both a duct and ductless gland Located behind the stomach
9/8/2018
5. Pancreas:
Both a duct and ductless gland
Located behind the stomach
Secretes a hormone called insulin that regulates how the body uses and stores sugar (glucose)
When the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, a person has a sickness called diabetes (can be controlled but not cured)

13. 6. Adrenal Glands Located on the top of each kidney
9/8/2018
6. Adrenal Glands
Located on the top of each kidney
Helps the body’s response to stress
Produces Adrenaline, which increases blood pressure & heart rate when the body experiences stress
