endocrine system

outer section (cortex) of each adrenal gland; secretes cortisol, aldosterone, and sex hormones

inner section (medulla) of each adrenal gland; secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine

located in the lower abdomen of a femal; responsible for egg production and estrogen and progesterone secretion

located behind the stomach. islet (alph and beta) cells (islet of Langerhans) secrete hormones from th pancreas. Secrete enzymes and aid in digestion

four small glands on the posterior of the thyroid gland.

located at the base of the brain in the sella turcica; anterior lobe (adenohypophysis) posterior lobe (neurohypophysis)

two glands enclosed in the scrotal sac of the scrotal; sperm production and tesosterone secretion

located at the neck; secretes thyroxine

secreted by the adrenal medulla; increases heart rate and blood pressure

secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland; stimulates the adrenal cortex

secreted byt the adrenal cortex; increases sodium reabsorption

hormones derived from an amino acid and secreted byt the adrenal meduall; epinephrine

cavity in the skull that contains the pituitary gland

cells of an organ that are affected or timulated by specific hormones

male hormone secreted by the testes and to a lesser extent adrenal cortex; testosterone

secreted by the porterior lobe of the pituitary gland; increases the reabsorption of water by the kidney

secreted by the thyroid gland; decreases blood calcium levels

secreted by the adrenal cortex; inceases blood sugar; secreted in times of stress and had an anti-inflammatory effect

secreted by the adrenal MEDULLA; increases heart rate and blood pressure and dilates airways. "fight or flight"

estrogen secreted by the ovaries

female hormone secreted by the ovaries and to a lesser extent by the adrenal CORTEX; estradiol and estrone

secreted by the anterior lobe; stimulates hormone secretion and egg production

secreted by the alpha islet cells of the pancreas; insulin helps glucose pass into cells, and it promotes the conversion of glycogen to glucose

secreted by the anterior lobe of thepituitary gland; stimulates growth of bones and soft tissues

secreted by BETA islet cells; glucose to glycogen

secreted by the anterior lobe; stimulates ovulation and testosterone

secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland; growth hormone

secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland; antidiuretic hormone

secreted by the thyroid gland; tetraiodothyronine; increases metabolism in cells

secreted by the thyroid gland; inceases metabolism in cells

secreted by the parathyroid glands; increases blood calcium

secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland; acts on the thyroid gland to promote its functioning
