I experience sudden weight gain and weight loss. Sometimes I experience stress and tension. There is a difference in sleep pattern. I feel cold unless others do. We discuss terms such as low metabolism, late sunrise of menstruation, decreased sex drive. We are concerned about bone health, diabetes. Some are tall, others are tall. Please tell us Method, timing, reason These conditions are related to our bodies. what It happens under these circumstances. A slight imbalance in their function causes these changes: Various organs of our body have secretions of the glands called endocrine glands and hormones. These glands are secretly inside. Those secretions or hormones are distributed in the body by blood flow. That is why it is also called ductless gland.
What is the endocrine system: the endocrine glands and its hormone production system in the body are endocrine systems. It serves to control regeneration, metabolism, growth and development, and provides an appropriate amount of energy for body function. These glands have similar functions and mechanisms of action and are interrelated. Here, they are scattered throughout the body, yet they are still considered one system.
Who are endocrinologists? Endocrinologists study these glands and hormones, diagnose imbalances, and restore balance between medication and advice. They are conducting clinical research to study how to work the glands and develop new drugs to normalize hormonal balance in the body. Several endocrinologists focus on one or two of the endocrine system diseases and other endocrinologists work in all areas of endocrinology.
Endocrine glands: pituitary, thyroid and parathyroid gland, thymus and adrenal glands are completely endocrine glands. However, endocrine tissues and secret hormones are also contained in the glands such as pancreas, ovary, testis and are included as part of the endocrine system.
1. Pituitary gland: This is the size of pea but it is the main gland of the body. Compared with other glands, it produces the maximum number of hormones including different hormones that control and influence various other glands. A thin stem is connected to the hypothalamus of the brain. The hypothalamus also produces hormones to regulate pituitary secretion. It is also the center of primitive physical and emotional behavior as an important center to control the autonomic nervous system, body temperature, moisture and food intake. Activate and control the nervous system parts that control involuntary body functions such as sleep regulation and appetite stimulation. The pituitary gland has anterior lobe and posterior lobe. The release of hormones from the hypothalamus controls the anterior lobe. This hormone affects height. An excess of this hormone in children leads to exaggerated bone growth, people become very enormous, they lack it hamper human growth. Neural stimulation controls the late lobe. Its hormone promotes the reabsorption of water by renal tubules and helps to conserve water in the body. An insufficient amount of the same has an adverse effect.
Along the pituitary, there is another small conical structure extending rearward from the third ventricle of the brain. It synthesizes hormones that are directly secreted into the cerebrospinal fluid entering the blood. This affects reproductive development and daily biological cycle.
2. Thyroid gland and parathyroid gland: Recognized as the first endocrine gland, it is shaped like a butterfly and can be seen in the neck. It has two leaves connected by a narrow tissue band called stenosis. The two lobes are just below the voice box on both sides of the trachea. The latter is also called the larynx. They require iodine for synthesis. It produces two hormones. During iodine deficiency, the thyroid gland can not secrete adequate hormone. In this scenario, the anterior pituitary secretes thyroid stimulating hormone to compensate for its deficiency.
Parathyroid glands: These are four small lumps of epithelial tissue on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland, a secret hormone, the most important regulator of blood calcium and phosphate levels, establishing the normal function of muscle and nerves , Stimulate the body's heat production, metabolism, bone growth.
3. Adrenal glands: These are double glands. They sit on the kidneys. This gland has outer (cortical) and medial (medulla). Cortex and Medulla develop from different embryonic tissues and secrets of different hormones. Adrenal cortex is essential to life, medulla has no life-threatening consequences.
a. Adrenal cortex: All cortical hormones are known as steroids. It has three different regions, each region producing a different hormone. The outermost region secretes hormones that act to conserve sodium ions and moisture in the body. The secret of the intermediate area increases the blood sugar level. The innermost region secretes sex hormones.
b. Adrenal medulla: In a particularly stressful situation, it secretes two hormones, epinephrine and norepinephrine. However, its lack will not have a significant effect.
4. Pancreas - Langerhans Island: This is a soft long organ behind the stomach. If the blood glucose level is low, pancreatic alpha cells increase blood glucose levels. However, during high blood glucose levels, the beta cells of this gland will act, take insulin secret, take glucose from the blood and lower blood glucose levels.
5. Reproductive glands: These are testicles & testicles. In men and ovaries, among women. These are responsible for the production of male and female ovum sperm, but also secrete hormones and endocrine glands. A set of hormones regulate the development, growth and function of these organs. The other set stimulates the glandular tissue of the female breast during pregnancy and birth, but stimulates lactation.
a. Testes: These are the secrets of male hormones. Testosterone is the major androgen secreted. The adrenal cortex also secretes it in small amounts. Testosterone deals with male reproductive structure, growth and development, skeletal and muscle growth, expansion of voice box and voice changes, hair growth and distribution, male sexual activity. This hormone begins production from the fetal development stage and lasts shortly after birth. After that, it stops almost at an early age and resumes at puberty. This is time to see people's change.
b. Ovary: These double organs are gonads. These produce egg cells. They also produce sex hormones flowing in the blood that cause secondary hits such as breast development. Estrogen and progesterone are two groups of female hormones produced by the ovary. On the afternoon of adolescence, estrogen is responsible for the distribution of fat around the breast, hip, legs, chest, mature reproductive organs such as the uterus and vagina. The role of progesterone is to thicken the endometrium to prepare for pregnancy. Between these women's menstrual cycles, these hormones are both responsible for uterine changes. There is another secret called "hormone of love". It is responsible for contraction of the smooth muscle of the uterus and milk removal from the breast during lactation. This hormone under the pituitary gland is a powerful hormone that acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain. It moves when we hug, kiss, cuddle and make love. It is a wonderful hormone to help the cement relationship of enthusiasm and intimacy.
