Components
(generated)
Component items:
- Endocrine head (endocrine-head)
- Endocrine - pituitary gland: release hormones by request from HT
- Adenohypophysis (LAC.FD.HT.AR -> endocrine-adenohypophysis): secrete releasing hormones into blood
- Distal Part of Hypophysis
- Intermediate Part of Hypophysis
- Tuberal Part of Hypophysis
- Neurohypophysis (LAC.FD.HT.SO -> endocrine-neurohypophysis-vasopressin): transport vasopressin secreted in hypothalamus to blood
- Infundibular Stem
- Pars Nervosa of Hypophysis
- Nucleus of Medial Eminence (LAC.FD.HT.PV -> endocrine-neurohypophysis-oxytocin): transport oxytocin secreted in hypothalamus to blood
- Anterior Median Eminence
- Posterior Median Eminence
- Lateral Eminence of Hypophysis
- Adenohypophysis (LAC.FD.HT.AR -> endocrine-adenohypophysis): secrete releasing hormones into blood
- Endocrine - pineal gland (endocrine-pineal-gland): control of sexual development
- Endocrine - pituitary gland: release hormones by request from HT
- Endocrine neck (endocrine-neck)
- Endocrine - thyroid gland (LAC.PN.SYM.MCG -> endocrine-thyroid-gland): release thyroid hormones into blood to rise oxygen use and heat production
- Endocrine - parathyroid gland (LAC.PN.SYM.MCG -> endocrine-parathyroid-gland): release parathyroid hormones into blood to increase in blood calcium levels
- Endocrine body (endocrine-body)
- Endocrine - pancreas (endocrine-pancreas): release digestive enzymes that act in small intestine to increase rate of glucose uptake and metabolism by most body cells
- Endocrine - pancreas, sympathetic (LAC.PN.SYM.CEG -> endocrine-pancreas-adrenergic): sympathetic, a2: decreases secretion from beta cells, increases secretion from alpha cells, b2: increases secretion from beta cells
- Endocrine - pancreas, parasympathetic (LAC.PN.PSYM.GUT -> endocrine-pancreas-muscarinic): parasympathetic, stimulates insulin secretion, M3: increases stimulation of alpha cells and beta cells
- Endocrine - adrenal gland (LAC.PN.SYM.SMG -> endocrine-adrenal-gland): releasing hormones in response to stress
- Endocrine - pancreas (endocrine-pancreas): release digestive enzymes that act in small intestine to increase rate of glucose uptake and metabolism by most body cells
- Endocrine - gonads (endocrine-gonads): release estrogen, progesterone and testosterone hormones to promote maturation of reproductive organs
- Endocrine - testicle gland (LAC.PN.SYM.ARG -> endocrine-testicle-gland): produce androgens, primarily testosterone (growth of muscle mass and strength, regulator of cognitive and physical energy, sperm development
- Endocrine - ovary gland (LAC.PN.SYM.ARG -> endocrine-ovary-gland): secretes estrogen (maturation and maintenance of the reproductive organs), testosterone (prepares the uterus for pregnancy, and the mammary glands for lactation) and progesterone (promoting menstrual cycle changes in the endometrium
