7 Endocrine Glands
Pineal Gland, Adrenal Gland, Thyroid Gland, Pancreas, Thymus, Pituitary Gland,
Ovary, & Testes
Pineal Gland
Endocrine Gland - Plays MAJOR Role in Sexual Development, Metabolism, & Produces
Melatonin (hormone that Regulates Sleep/Wake cycle)
Adrenal Gland
Pair of Endocrine Glands that sit just above the Kidneys & Secrete hormones
(Epinephrine + Norepinephrine) that help arouse the body in times of stress.
Thyroid Gland
Controls body metabolism rate
Pancreas
Digestive Organ that Regulates Hormones Insulin + Glucagon
Thymus
Endocrine gland located in the mediastinum
Pituitary Gland
Endocrine Gland - (aka. "Master Gland") Attached to Base of Brain; Secretes hormones
that Affect Function of Other Glands a/w/a Hormones that ACT directly on Physical
Processes.
Ovary
1 of 2 (Endocrine) Glands located on each side of Pelvic Cavity that Produce Ova &
Female Sex Hormones (i.e. Estrogen + Progesterone)
Testes
Androgens (e.g. Testosterone): Regulate changes associated w/ Sexual Development &
Support Production of Sperm
(Hormone:) Somatostatin
(Gland:) Hypothalamus
(Hormone:) Growth Hormone (HGH)
(Gland:) Pituitary Gland
(Hormone:) Testosterone
(Gland:) Testes
