After completing this exercise, you should be able to:. & Pituitary Gland. Hypothalamus . and . Pituitary Gland. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland form a unit that exerts control over the function of several endocrine glands (thyroid, adrenals, and gonads), as well as a wide range of physiologic activities . Essential idea: Hormones are not secreted at a uniform rate and exert their effect at low concentration. D.5 Hormones and metabolism. Understandings:. Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. ANIMALS. Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. Endocrinology. 3. Function and Secretion. Hormones:. . . are . substances secreted by cells that act to regulate the activity of other cells in the body.. Endocrinology: Part . A. John Parrish. Professor. Department of Animal Sciences. What is the function of . the. endocrine . system?. Integration of Body Functions. nervous and endocrine systems are similar. Influences growth, metabolism, and homeostasis over prolonged periods. Secretes hormone products into interstitial spaces which are then absorbed into the blood and transported throughout the body. Hormonal control is much slower than nervous control, but the effects of the endocrine system are much longer lasting. 24/03/2015. Dr. Omary Chillo (MD, PhD). 24/03/2015.

The . hypothalamus is located near the center of . the brain. , above . the brainstem . and below the cerebrum . composed . of many small nuclei with diverse functions. Located above the midbrain and below the thalamus, the hypothalamus makes up the ventral diencephalon. The diencephalon is an embryologic region of the vertebrate neural tube that gives rise to posterior forebrain structures. . General principles of endocrine diagnosis . 116 .

Pituitary gland. . is connected to the hypothalamus by the pituitary (or . hypophysial. ) stalk. . Physiologically, the pituitary gland is divisible into two distinct portions: . The anterior pituitary, also known as the . Key points The hypothalamus and pituitary gland both lie in the cranial cavity of the skullTwo major hormones released by the posterior pituitary gland are antidiuretic hormone and oxytocinThe anterio tissue,while. the posterior pituitary is of . neural origin. .. There is a close relation between the neural and the endocrine systems, which is most obvious in the interaction between the hypothalamus and the two lobes of the pituitary gland.. Endocrine cells lie in close apposition to blood capillaries or sinusoids.. Secretions of endocrine cells are called . hormones. .. Hormones travel through blood to target cells and influence their function..
