Adrenaline is a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands in your endocrine system. Think of a time you have experienced an “adrenaline rush” or know of someone who has done great things b/c of adrenaline, explain the situation.

2. Endocrine System
A set of glands that produces hormones

Hormones- Chemical messengers that circulate throughout the body in the blood.
Similar to Neurons

Both communicate by locking into receptor sites

4. Pituitary gland Endocrine system’s “master gland”
Works with the brain to control the other glands in the endocrine system
Located at the base of the brain & connects with hypothalamus to regulate glucose & insulin
Example of its work: Hunger & physical growth

5. Thyroid gland Located in the neck
Helps regulate energy level & metabolism

6. Adrenal glands Sit on top of kidneys
