This topic is about to discuss the anatomy of the edocrine system, which is a topic under
MRCOG module; Maternal medicine.
The system could be a complicated network of glands and organs. It uses hormones to
regulate and coordinate your body's: internal metabolism (?or homeostasis), energy, replica,
growth and development, and response to injury, stress, and environmental factors. the

Hypothalamus. The neural structure is found at the bottom of the brain, close to the optic chaism.
Where the optic nerves behind every eye cross and meet. ?The neural structure secretes
hormones that stimulate or suppress the discharge of hormones within the ductless gland,
additionally to dominant water balance, sleep, temperature, appetite, and force per unit area.
Pineal body. The pineal body is found below the pathway, within the middle of the brain. It
creates the hormone melatonin secretion, that helps the body apprehend once it is time to sleep.
Pituitary. The pituitary gland is found below the brain. typically no larger than a pea, the organ
controls several functions
of the
opposite endocrine
glands.
Thyroid and parathyroids. The thyroid and parathyroids gland glands area unit set before of the
neck, below the vocal organ (voice box). The thyroid plays a vital role within the body's
metabolism. The endocrine gland glands play a vital role within the regulation of the
body's Ca balance.
Thymus. The thymus is found within the higher a part of the chest and produces T-lymphocytes
(white
blood
cells
that
fight
infections
and
destroy
abnormal
cells).
Adrenal organ. associate degree suprarenal gland is found on prime of every excretory organ.
Like several glands, the adrenal glands work hand-in-hand with the neural structure and ductless
gland. The adrenal glands create and unleash steroid hormone hormones that maintain force per
unit
area and
regulate
metabolism.
Pancreas. The exocrine gland is found across the rear of the abdomen, behind the abdomen. The
exocrine gland plays a task indigestion, further as secretion production. Hormones created by the
exocrine
levels
of glucose.
Ovary. A woman's ovaries area unit set on each side of the female internal reproductive organ,
below the gap of the fallopian tubes (tubes that reach from the female internal reproductive
organ to the ovaries). additionally to containing the egg cells necessary for replica, the
ovaries conjointly
turn
out steroid
Testis. A man's testes area unit set in a very pouch that hangs suspended outside the figure. The
testes turn out androgenic hormone and gamete.
