    Endocrine System

    Uploaded by

    adrianacasanov199
    The endocrine system regulates hormone levels and their delivery to target organs and glands. It consists of glands like the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, ovaries and testicles that produce hormones and release them into the bloodstream. The hormones then travel to and regulate organs like the thyroid, adrenal glands, kidneys, heart, breasts and more. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland work together to regulate hormone production and secretion from other glands through negative feedback loops.

    Mechanism of action
    Mechanism of Regulation

    The endocrine system is


    incharge of regulating the
    amount of hormones that are Hypothalamus
    delivered in the blood and to
    the organs. Stop of hormone secretion Receives information
    and stimulates the
    The excess of hormones pituitary gland to
    in blood stops the produce hormones
    stimulation of Pituitary
    gland and it stops
    producing hormones.

    Hormones Also regulates


    Pituitary Gland

    Reproduction Releases hormones that


    circulate in the blood and
    stimulate other endocrine
    Hormones glands to produce their
    hormones
    Mood The hormone Produced
    in the gland is released
    into the blood and
    reaches the organ or
    target cell that regulates
    its activity
