For example the Thyroid and Pituitary gland. 

The exocrine gland are glands that secrete saliva into the mouth. It produces gastric and sweat glands.  ]]> 2018-01-08 18:28:05 UTC https://padlet.com/01833/eg2p5wm3o7in/wish/219485398 01833 https://padlet.com/01833/eg2p5wm3o7in/wish/219485517 There are three main types of hormones: amines, polypeptides, and steroids.

Amines are simple molecules.

Polypeptides which are made from chains of amino acids.

Steroids are derived from cholesterol.

Humans have about 50 known hormones that vary in their function, action and structure..

Get rid of the stress. Stress can interfere with the glands and may cause an over production of some hormones, such as adrenal hormones.]]> 2018-01-08 18:41:42 UTC https://padlet.com/01833/eg2p5wm3o7in/wish/219491547 01957 https://padlet.com/01833/eg2p5wm3o7in/wish/220032222 Ten glands make up the Endocrine System:

1. Hypothalamus
2. Pituitary
3. Pineal
4. Thyroid
5. Parathyroid
6. Thymus
7. Adrenal
8. Pancreas
9. Testis male
10.  Ovaries female

Pituitary: Controls the growth reproduction and metabolism.
Pineal: It is located deep in the interior of the brain. Melatonin hormone body's timing system and synchronises daily rhythms.
Thyroid: Regulates the overall metabolic rate of the body and controls the levels of calcium in the bloodstream.
Parathyroid: Four tiny glands that regulate levels of calcium in the body and stimulates vitamin D used for calcium absorption in digestive tract.
Thymus: It helps the inmune system develop during young ages or childhood, it shrinks considerably by adolescence.
Adrenal: These glands are found on top of each kidney, they produce a variety of hormones including adrenaline and the steroids aldosterone and cortisol.
Pancreas: They regulate the use and storage of sugar levels in blood. They are also called Islet of Langerhans.
Ovaries: They control ovulation and secondary sexual characteristics.
Testes: They control sperm production and secondary sexual characteristics.

Most of the endocrine system is regulated through negative feedback.

The pituitary gland is called the master gland because it controls many functions.]]> 2018-01-11 01:18:02 UTC https://padlet.com/01833/eg2p5wm3o7in/wish/220431592 01957 https://padlet.com/01833/eg2p5wm3o7in/wish/220447002 Increase or decrease in the production of hormones can cause diseases.
