| Pancreas | Behind the stomach in the abdomen.
🗑
|
||||
| Pineal Gland | Posterior and superior diencephalon.
🗑
|
||||
| Thyroid Gland | Anterior and inferior neck superficial to the larynx.
🗑
|
||||
| Parathyroid Gland | Posterior thyroid gland.
🗑
|
||||
| Thymus | Sits in the superior mediastinum.
🗑
|
||||
| Adrenal Gland | Superior pole of each kidney.
🗑

| Testes | In the scrotum on the male.
🗑

| Ovary | Lower abdomen on the female.
🗑
|

| Steriod | Lipids; building block: cholesterol, sex hormones: estrogen, testosterone, four-fused ring, contain carbon hydrogen, insoluble in water.
🗑
|
||||
| Non-Steroid | Protein, building block: amino acids, sex hormones: epinephrine, gonadotropin, parathyroid hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone; soluble in water.
🗑

| Negative Feedback | Reverse changes in the controlled condition. Negative feedback mechanisms control many long term states such as body temperature and hydration. Most of the feedback mechanisms that regulate hormones in the human body are negative feed back systems.
🗑
|
||||
| Positive Feedback | Reinforce changes in the controlled condition. Example: uterine contractions during childbirth: when contractions start oxytocin is released which stimulates more contractions and more oxygen to be released.
🗑
|
||||
| Hypothalamus (hormones) | Somatostatin: inhibits other hormones.
Anti-diuretic Hormone: regulates water levels.
Growth Hormone: Releasing hormone: controls normal physical development in children.
🗑
|
||||
| Anterior Pituitary (hormones) | Luteinizing Hormone: Controls reproductive functioning.
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone: Controls reproductive functioning.
Prolactin: Stimulates production of breast milk.
Growth Hormone: Stimulates growth and repair.
🗑

||||
| Posterior Pituitary (hormone) | Oxytocin: Uterine Contractions
🗑

||||
| Thyroid Gland (hormone) | Thyroxine: Controls many vital body functions.
🗑
|
||||
| Parathyroid Gland (hormone) | Parathyroid Hormone: Regulates calcium levels in the blood.
🗑
|
||||
| Pineal Gland | Melatonin: Regulates circadian rhythm.
🗑

||||
| Pancreas | Insulin: Regulates sugar levels
Glucagon: Regulates sugar levels
🗑
