Endocrine system- Pituitary gland
Posted in 2013
The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain beneath the hypothalamus and is no larger than a pea. It is often considered the most important part of the endocrine system because it produces hormones that control many functions of other endocrine glands. When the pituitary gland does not produce one or more of its hormones or not enough of them, it is called hypopituitarism.
The pituitary gland is divided into two parts: the anterior lobe and the posterior lobe. The anterior lobe produces the following hormones, which are regulated by the hypothalamus:
- Growth hormone: Stimulates growth of bone and tissue ( Growth hormone deficiency) results in growth failure. Growth hormone deficiency in adults results in problems in maintaining proper amounts of body fat and muscle and bone mass. It is also involved in emotional well-being.)
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): Stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones (A lack of thyroid hormones either because of a defect in the pituitary or the thyroid itself is called hypothyrodism.)
- Adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH): Stimulates the adrenal gland to produce several related steroid hormones
- Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH):Hormones that control sexual function and production of the sex steroids, estrogen and progesterone in females or testosterone in males
- Prolactin: Hormone that stimulates milk production in females
1... It is the system which will regulate the activity of various cells or organs
2... The major glands of endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, pineal body, and the reproductive organs (ovaries and testes). The pancreas is also a part of this system; it has a role in hormone production as well as in digestion.
3... These hormones are chemical messengers created by our body
4.. They transfer the messages of various glands to coordinate with one another.
5... We are discussing on reproductive organs how they protect and regulate functions of these organs. All of you know about reproductive organs
6... Protect this system with your healthy habits, healthy life style, healthy food etc.. to avoid various health problems caused and particularly on reproductive system
