Hypophysis (Pituitary Gland) - Secretes hormones that help control growth, blood pressure, certain functions of the sex organs. Adenohypophysis - Secretes growth hormone, LH, FSH, ACTH, TSH, PRL, and MSH. Pars Intermedia |
|
|
|
Thyroid Gland - Secretes two hormones that regulate the rates of metabolism, growth and development. Follicular Cells - Secrete hormones T3 & T4, necessary for growth & regulates metabolic rate. Parafollicular Cells - Secrete calcitonin, lowers blood calcium levels. Colloid Follicles |
|
|
|
Parathyroid Glands - Secrete a hormone necessary for the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus |

|
Epididymis - Role in storage of sperm & ejaculant. Spermatozoa - Fertilize the female ovum. Stereocilia - Fluid absorption. Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium |
|
|
|
Fallopian Tube - Transport sperm toward the egg, and then allow passage of the fertilized egg back to the uterus for implantation. Ciliate Columnar Epithelium - Secretion and movement of mucous by ciliary action. Muscular Wall - Contracts during labor. Mucosal Folds |
|
|
|
Ovary - Produce oocytes & hormones, estrogen & progesterone. Corpus Albicans, Antrum, Primary Follicles, Secondary Follicles Corona Radiata - Supply vital proteins to the cell.
