Endocrine hormones have an impact on other processes throughout the body such as, the metabolism, growth, and organ's secretion. ]]> 2022-08-08 17:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenwilliamson4/o5nhz641l24dxc2o/wish/2256834553 laurenwilliamson4 https://padlet.com/laurenwilliamson4/o5nhz641l24dxc2o/wish/2256839495 Endo - inside

These hormones are secreted into the bodies bloodstream and are moved to other parts of the body for use. 

Endocrine glands: Ductless glands that discharge hormones into the bodies blood stream. ]]> 2022-08-08 17:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenwilliamson4/o5nhz641l24dxc2o/wish/2256841271 laurenwilliamson4 https://padlet.com/laurenwilliamson4/o5nhz641l24dxc2o/wish/2256847291 - Pituitary gland (attached to the base of the brain).

- Thyroid gland (Located at the front of the neck).

- Ovaries and Testes (reproductive organs that produce ova or sperm). 

- Pineal gland (attached to the posterior part of the brain). 

- Pancreas "islets of Langerhans (pancreatic cells that preform endocrine function). 

-Adrenal glands (Located above the two kidneys). ]]> 2022-08-08 17:58:11 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenwilliamson4/o5nhz641l24dxc2o/wish/2256847291 laurenwilliamson4 https://padlet.com/laurenwilliamson4/o5nhz641l24dxc2o/wish/2256849374 - Goiter: When the thyroid gland is enlarged 

 - Diabetes Mellitus: This is when hyperglycemia is produced, causing improper use of insulin in the body. Type one and two diabetes stems from the endocrine system as well. 

- Adenoma: Tumor of a gland; see the "Major glands bubble to know what glands can be affected from a tumor within the endocrine system.

- dwarfism: Hyposecretion of growth hormones during the early stages of life causes the body to grow improperly. This then causes the height of that person to be less than average. 

- Acromegaly: Much like dwarfism, hyper-secretion of growth hormones flows through the bloodstream. The only difference is that this secretion happens after the body has matured. ]]> 2022-08-08 18:02:16 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenwilliamson4/o5nhz641l24dxc2o/wish/2256849374 laurenwilliamson4 https://padlet.com/laurenwilliamson4/o5nhz641l24dxc2o/wish/2257034863 - Hypophysectomy: This is when the tumor of a pituitary gland (remember this is located posterior of the brain) is surgically removed to reduce the spread of the tumor.

A radiographic machine takes images at multiple angles to provide doctors with an answer for the patient concerning their endocrine glands. This CT scan is used to find tumors early on so they can be surgically removed or treated. ]]> 2022-08-09 00:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenwilliamson4/o5nhz641l24dxc2o/wish/2257043716 laurenwilliamson4 https://padlet.com/laurenwilliamson4/o5nhz641l24dxc2o/wish/2257048052 1. We now know that diabetes mellitus involves insulin. This insulin is produced improperly during diabetes. What organ does insulin come from?

2. There are many glands within the endocrine system. Which gland has ducts and which gland is ductless? (exocrine glands and endocrine glands). 

3. Write the name of the "master gland" within the endocrine system. ]]> 2022-08-09 01:04:17 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenwilliamson4/o5nhz641l24dxc2o/wish/2257048052
