The hypothalamus pituitary thyroid parathyroid adrenal and pineal glands make up which of your body's systems?
Endocrine
What is the function of the chief cells of the parathyroid?
Gastric chief cells are in the digestive system. They release pepsinogen which is a digestive enzyme that when activated by hydrochloric acid turns into pepsin and helps in the digestion of proteins. Chief cells may also refer to parathyroid chief cells which produce and secrete parathyroid hormone when stimulated by low levels of calcium.
Why do I hardly eat when I'm sober this happens after smoking weed for long periods at a time?
This is weird because weed should make you hungry. It does this by stimulating the hypothalamus - a master gland of the brain. However, its possible that the stimulation becomes weak after smoking for long periods as a result of depletion of neurotransmitters that regulate functions like hunger
Is the pituitary gland the largest in the body?
No. It is actually one of the smallest glands, though it does a big job. The main function of the pituitary gland is to make and release hormones and is controlled by the hypothalamus. The largest gland in the body is the pancreas.
How many lobes make up the pituitary gland?
The pituitary gland consists of two lobes: the anterior lobe (adenohypophysis) and the posterior lobe (neurohypophysis).
How do you make periods feel better?

Who does parathyroid cancer affect mostly?
The parathyroid glands are four small glands located in the neck or upper mediastinum (chest) near the thyroid gland. They are part of the endocrine system. The endocrine system regulates the hormones in the body. Like all parts of the endocrine system, the parathyroid glands play an important role in the body. These glands make parathyroid hormone (PTH), which regulates the levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood A parathyroid tumor, whether it is benign or malignant, can cause significant effects because the amount of calcium in the blood rises, resulting in a serious condition called hypercalcemia, a condition in which 75% patients who are diagnosed die within the next 3 days.
Parathyroid biopsy?
DefinitionA parathyroid biopsy is a procedure to remove a small piece of a parathyroid gland. The parathyroid glands are the four glands behind the thyroid in the neck.Alternative NamesBiopsy - parathyroidHow the test is performedA parathyroid biopsy is done while the patient is awake. Using an ultrasound machine, the health care provider locates the gland of concern. A thin needle is inserted directly into the gland, and a small piece of tissue is removed.The tissue is sent to a laboratory, where it is examined under a microscope. The tissue's levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) will also be checked. PTH is secreted by the parathyroid glands and helps control the body's calcium levels.How to prepare for the testTell your health care provider if you have any drug allergies or bleeding problems, or if you are pregnant. You must sign a consent form. Also, make sure the health care provider knows about all the medications you are taking.How the test will feelThe test feels like a quick shot (injection). You may feel a sting as the needle is inserted into the gland.Why the test is performedThis procedure is most often done to confirm the cause of hyperparathyroidism.It may also be done if an ultrasound exam shows a larger than normal parathyroid gland. Your doctor can only see a parathyroid gland on ultrasound if it is abnormally swollen.Normal ValuesThere is no swelling, hormone levels appear normal, and cells from the tissue sample are normal.Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.What abnormal results meanThe test confirms that a parathyroid gland is enlarged, if hormone levels are too high, or if cells from the sample are abnormal.Abnormal results may be due to:Parathyroid adenoma or carcinoma (rare)Parathyroid hyperplasiaMultiple endocrine neoplasia I (MEN I)Multiple endocrine neoplasia II (MEN II)What the risks areThe main risk is bleeding into or around the thyroid gland. If bleeding is severe, it may put pressure on the windpipe (trachea). This complication is rare. Special considerationsYou can return to normal activities the same day.
What is endocrine system cancer?
Cancers of the endocrine system affect the glands that make hormones, which serve as the body's chemical messengers. These uncommon cancers often can be treated successfully when found early. Organs affected by endocrine cancers include the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, islets of the pancreas, parathyroid glands, hypothalamus and pituitary gland. mike morales was here ... again!!!!
What will happen if thyroid gland is removed?
If the thyroid gland is removed, you will become hypOthyroid. This will first make you sick, and if you do not begin taking replacement medication for the missing hormones, you will eventually die. Your body cannot survive without thyroid hormone which is responsible for the metabolism of each and every cell of your body.

You are 11 and not took your periods?
It is all right. You might not get your period until you are 14. Enjoy the freedom. If you haven't started developing breasts and body hair when you are 14, see a doctor to make sure that your pituitary gland is OK.
