Chapter 9, Problem 16SAE
Summary Introduction
To review:
The body location of the given endocrine organs, the hormones secreted by them, and their effect on the body processes. The results of hypersecretion and hyposecretion of the hormones are to be listed.
Introduction:
The endocrine system is one of the control systems of the body. It releases hormones (chemical messengers) that regulate the body processes like growth,

The endocrine system is composed of glands that secrete hormones that regulate the activity of different body cells. The pituitary gland is often called the "master gland" because it controls the activities of other glands.
Discuss a disorder associated with either hypo or hypersecretion of a specific hormone secreted by the pituitary gland.
Include in your discussion the answer to the following:
What effect will an increase or decrease in production have on the target organs?What signs and symptoms are associated with this condition and how is it treated?
Neuroendocrine glands are glands that are made up of both nervous tissue and endocrine tissue. This means that they can be directly stimulated by the nervous system to produce or release hormones. The pituitary gland and parathyroid gland are examples.Describe a situation/example for each (pituitary gland and parathyroid gland) that demonstrates the function mentioned above. Be specific.
Match the following endocrine structures with the hormone it secretes.

- Give two examples of feedback control of hormone activity.arrow_forwardSheehan syndrome is a rare condition in women that results from severe blood loss during or after childbirth. Because of the blood loss, the pituitary gland receives insufficient oxygen and nutrients, which causes the death of cells and a permanent deficiency of hormones from the pituitary gland. Sheehan syndrome can be treated with lifelong hormone replacement therapy. List at least 3 endocrine functions that would likely be affected by Sheehan syndrome and explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardThe endocrine system encompasses several different glands and hormones. After reading about the endocrine system, which do you think is the most interesting hormone or gland? Why? What diseases and surgeries are associated with this hormone or gland (name at least one disease and one surgery)?arrow_forward

In your answer, provide the names of the hormones released, the glands from which they are released, and the effects on the body. b) Provide 2 reasons (as discussed in class) why long-term stress is harmful to our physical health.arrow_forwardA major cause of hypersecretion of hormones is a dysfunctional gland. Very high levels of cortisol is found in the blood serum of Patient X. After an injection of dexamethasone (a potent, synthetic cortisol), Patient X's cortisol levels return to normal.
