Which brain structure serves as a relay station between the brain and the endocrine system?
The hypothalamus has neural outputs to the pituitary gland, which is the main gland for the endocrine system
What is the main link between the nervous system and endocrine system?
ganglionAnswerThe most straight-forward answer would be the hypothalamus, because in simple terms, the hypothalamus controls the pituitary gland and the pituitary gland is the "master gland" of the endocrine system. But you could probably have a nice long discussion about what exactly counts as a link between the nervous and endocrine systems. Is it a functional link? A structural one? Does the question force the answerer to draw an arbitrary line dividing organs of the nervous and endocrine systems?
What is the shortest gland in human body?
the pituitary gland, and is also the one that produces the most hormones.
What brain structure provides a major link between the nervous system and the endocrine system?
The hypothalamus is the endocrine gland that links the endocrine and nervous systems. It controls many of the pituitary hormone levels and also controls body water levels. The hypothalamus is located in the brain.the thyriod gland
What system is the pituitary gland a part of?
The lymph gland is not part of the endocrine system. The function of the lymph gland is to remove fluids from between the cells and bring them back to the blood. The lymph gland also filters this fluid. The lymph gland also enlarges with infection. It produces cells to help fight off the infection.
What part of the brain is resposible for communicating between the nervous system and the endocrine system?
That part is called as hypothalamus. It is supposed to be the highest centre for the autonomous nervous system. You have the portal circulation between the hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary gland.
What is the relationship between the pituitary gland and the ovaries?
The pituitary gland releases hormones (gonadotropins) that control both the reproductive and endocrine function of the ovaries.
What are two ways the hypothalamus sends messages to the pituitary gland?
i releases hormones and controls body activities directly.
Which brain structure serves as a relay station between the brain and the endocrine system?
The hypothalamus has neural outputs to the pituitary gland, which is the main gland for the endocrine system
Define the difference between primary and secondary endocrine pathology?
primary is inhibiting glands secondary has to do with problems with the pituitary gland

What are the endocrine functions of the hypothalamus?
The hypothalamus is a collection of specialized cells that is located in the lower central part of the brain, is the primary link between the endocrine and nervous systems. Nerve cells in the hypothalamus control the pituitary gland by producing chemicals that either stimulate or suppress hormone secretions from the pituitary. Although it is no bigger than a pea, the pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain just beneath the hypothalamus, is considered the most important part of the endocrine system. It's often called the "master gland" because it makes hormones that control several other endocrine glands. The production and secretion of pituitary hormones can be influenced by factors such as emotions and seasonal changes. To accomplish this, the hypothalamus relays information sensed by the brain (such as environmental temperature, light exposure patterns, and feelings) to the pituitary.
What is the most important part of the endocrine system?
Hormones and Glands. Glands: Hypothalamus Pituitary Pineal Thyroid Parathyroid Adrenal Heart Intestine Stomach Ovaries/testes Pancreas

What makes up the diencephalon?
The diencephalon is made up of 3 main structures: Thalamus: Which is a relay station for regulation sensory inputs to the cerebellum Hypothalamus: which is a bridge between the nervous system and endocrine system Pituitary Gland: "master endocrine gland" because it regulates the production and release of other hormones

The lymph gland is not part of the endocrine system. The function of the lymph gland is to remove fluids from between the cells and bring them back to the blood. The lymph gland also filters this fluid. The lymph gland also enlarges with infection. It produces cells to help fight off the infection.
