    Study Notes

    Endocrine System Components

    • Hypothalamus

      • Links the nervous system to the endocrine system
      • Controls the pituitary gland

    • Pituitary Gland

      • Known as the master gland
      • Regulates other endocrine glands
      • Influences body growth and maintains water balance

    • Pineal Gland

      • Produces melatonin
      • Melatonin regulates sleep patterns

    • Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands

      • Essential for normal growth and development
      • Important for brain and nervous system development
      • Produce hormones that influence metabolism

    • Thymus

      • Critical for the training and development of T-lymphocytes (T cells)
      • T cells are vital for the immune response

    • Pancreas

      • Regulates blood sugar (glucose) levels
      • Produces insulin and glucagon

    • Ovary (in females)

      • Produces hormones essential for sexual development
      • Key in regulating menstrual cycle and reproductive functions

    • Testicle (in males)

      • Responsible for hormone production linked to sexual development
      • Important for sperm production

    • Adrenal Glands

      • Regulate metabolism and maintain electrolyte balance
      • Produce adrenaline, aiding in stress response

    • Placenta (during pregnancy)

      • Supplies oxygen and nutrients to the fetus
      • Removes waste products from fetal blood
