1 HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY Period: 2 Sam Park, Anthony Hwang

2 ENDOCRINE SYSTEM The Endocrine System regulates and controls the physical and chemical changes or processes within the body. Changes such as growth, metabolism, digestion, etc.

3 PANCREAS AND PINEAL GLAND

4 FUNCTION  Pancreas: Exocrine- digestive enzymes Endocrine- pumps hormones into bloodstream, insulin, and glucagon

5 FUNCTION (CONT.)  Pineal: Melatonin- wake-sleep cycle, sexual development  Serotonin- helps to regulate “good mood” feelings  Dimethyltryptamine (DMT)- dreaming,and or “psychoactive” activities

6

7 DISEASES  Pancreatis- Majority of the time caused by gallstones or alcohol  Symptoms- Upper abdominal pain, Nausea, progressive vomiting whilst eating

8 DISEASES CONT.  Excess Melatonin- caused by excess production through lack of light or excess melatonin intake  Symptoms, Daytime Drowsiness, fatigue, lack of drive or depression

9 INTERESTING FACTS  The pineal gland is also known as the third eye  The “gateway to our real selves”  Pancreatic cancer is fatal, chances of surviving it are low, the survival rate is 20% in the first year of acquisition.

11 CC  What are the functions of the pancreas and the pineal gland?  Pineal Gland-Melatonin- wake-sleep cycle, sexual development,Pancreas Exocrine- digestive enzymes Endocrine- Pump hormones into bloodstream, Insulin, and glucagon. Regulates glucose  What hormones do both glands secrete?  Glucagon,Insulin for pancreas and melatonin for pineal gland  How fatal is pancreatic cancer?  Very fatal with chances of survival very low  How does one get excess melatonin?  By taking melatonin pills or having their pineal gland produce excess melatonin `
