  • Sensory neurons: activated by sensory input from the environment ex. touching a hot surface
  • Motor neurons: part of the central nervous system that connect to muscles, glands, and organs by transmittting impulses from the spinal cord to both skeletal and smooth muscles 
  • Interneurons: connects spinal motor and sensory neurons

  • Hypothalamus Gland: responsible for regulating satiety, metabolism, and body temperature and secretes hormones that either stimulates or suppresses the release of hormones in the pituitary gland 
  • Pituitary Gland: produces hormones that control many different functions of other glands 
  • Thyroid: produces a hormone that regulates the body’s metabolism 
  • Thymus: plays a role in making sure the body has a normal and healthy immune system
  • Adrenal glands: produce a variety of hormones including adrenaline and the steroids aldosterone and cortisol
  • Gonads: an organ that produces gametes
  • Pancreas: produces insulin and other important enzymes and hormones that help break down foods

Estrogens are a group of sex hormones that promote the development and maintenance of female characteristics in the human body.
    Estrogen is released by the follicles in the ovaries and corpus luteum after the egg has been released. The stimulation of estrogen comes from the pituitary gland.]]>     2019-03-29 17:17:50 UTC https://padlet.com/bella_tgettis/jg2ptoraz6su/wish/346642495
