# Endocrine System Lab ## General Areas - Endocrine glands - Thyroid - Pancreas - Ovaries - Testicles - Organs with different primary functions but have an endocrine function - Kidneys primarily maintain homeostasis but secrete a hormone. ## Specificity - Receptor cells - Bind to protein - Exocrine & Endocrine Function ## Trophic & Non-Trophic ### TRH - Comes from the hypothalamus & travels to the infundibulum. - Hypothalamic-hypophyseal portal system anterior pituitary, which stimulates the anterior pituitary to produce thyroid stimulating hormone ### TRH - Is a trophic hormone - One endocrine gland to another endocrine ### TSH - Is a trophic hormone - Thyroid hormone - Increase hormone reactions in almost all cells - Non-trophic hormone
