Endocrine System

Poster Text: The endocrine system is responsible for controlling the functions of the body by producing and secreting hormones. Hormones, which come from a collection of glands, impact almost every cell in the body and function to keep the body in balance - a complicated process known as homeostasis. The endocrine system used feedback mechanisms to regulate hormones and maintain homeostasis. Negative feedback occurs when changes in the body cause a response that returns a system to its original state. Negative feedback mechanisms are primarily responsible for maintaining homeostasis. Positive feedback causes a system to continue to respond to an environmental change.
ANTERIOR LOBE: Secretes hormones responsible for growth, milk production in females, and other hormones that stimulate the thyroid gland and sex organs.
PINEAL GLAND: Regulates the wake-sleep cycle.
POSTERIOR LOBE: Secretes hormones for controlling the amount of water reabsorbed by the kidneys as well as hormones that stimulate the uterus to contract and mammary glands to release milk after childbirth.
PITUITARY GLAND: Makes hormones that control several other endocrine glands.
THYMUS GLAND: Secretes hormones that regulate the immune system.
HYPOTHALAMUS: Area of the brain that serves as the primary link between the endocrine and nervous systems.
PANCREAS: Produces hormones to help regulate metabolism.
THYROID: Produces hormones to control the rate at which the body burns food.
THYROID GLAND: Releases hormones that regulate metabolism.
PARATHRYROID GLANDS: Four tiny glands that function as one to regulate the level of calcium in the blood.
ISTHMUS: Tissue that connects the to lobes of the thyroid.
ADRENAL GLANDS: Regulate many functions such as stress and heart rate.
REPRODUCTIVE GLANDS: Secrete hormones such as estrogen and testosterone that regulate the reproductive system.
