What is function of endocrine system ?

regulate and control other systems and maintain homeostasis.




release hormones which travel through th body to target cells.

What is function of Prolactin ?

causes mammary glands to develop and produce milk

Where does PRL is produced by ?

Anterior Pituitary

What is target of Prolaction ( PRL )

mammary gland

What is function of growth hormone ?

promotes skeletal and muscular growth

Growth hormone is is produced by ?

anterior Pituitary

What is target of Growth hormone?

bone , muscles and cartilage

What is Gigantism ?

too much GH during childhood results in rapid growth

What is Acromegaly ?

too much GH in adulthood can result in thickening of the bones of the extremities and face and tongue

What is Pituitary dwarfism ?

Insufficient GH production results in sterility and max height of 4ft.

What is treatment os Pit. Dwarfism ?

administer GH during childhood

Where is Thyroid gland located ?

below larynx and requires iodine to make hormones.

What does thyroid gland produces ?

Thyroid hormone : Thyroxine(T4) and Triiodothyronin (T3)




Calcitonin

What are thyroid hormone ?

regulates metabolism by stimulating protein synthesis , breakdown of lipids and the use of glucose of the production of ATP.

What does Thyroid hormone target ?

most cells in the body

What is simple Goiter ?

Enlarged Thyroid gland

What causes simple goiter ?

diet deficient in the iodine, which is needed in production of TH

What is treatment of simple goiter ?
