What links the nervous system to the endocrine system?
The hypothalamus is a collection of specialized cells that is the primary link between the nervous system and the endocrine system via the pituitary gland. It is located below the thalamus and just above the brainstem.
Which endocrine glands are located in the brain?
The pituitary gland and the pineal gland are the two endocrine glands located in the brain. The pituitary gland produces and secretes hormones that control many functions of other glands in the body, while the pineal gland produces the hormone melatonin, which helps regulate sleep-wake cycles.
What is the term for the resection of an endocrine gland below the stomach?
The term for the resection of an endocrine gland below the stomach is "subtotal pancreatectomy."
Which organ system contains your thyroid?
The Endocrine System is actually a system of it's self. It contains the thyriod and the pituitary gland and the like, But it is not contained within another system if that is what you are asking. :) Katie.
What is the hormone produced by the endocrine gland that is located below the brain?
follicle stimulating hormone
What is thehormone produced by an endocrine gland located below the brain?
The endocrine gland below the brain is the pituitary gland. It is split into anterior (adenohypophysis) and posterior (neurohypophysis) sections. They differ in the hormones they produce. Adenohypophysis: ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone), GH (growth hormone), Prolactin Neurohypophysis: Oxytocin, ADH (antidiuretic hormone, aka vasopressin)

What is the function of the pituary gland?
The pituitary gland is a small oval endocrine gland attached to the base of the vertebrate brain and is the master gland that controls the function of all other glands in the endocrine system. It consists of an anterior and a posterior lobe, the secretions of which influence growth, metabolism, and maturation.
What endocrine gland is located in the trachea?
The thyroid gland is located in the trachea. It sits just below the larynx and releases hormones that regulate metabolism, growth, and development in the body.
What is the job of the pituitary gland and where is it located?
The pituitary gland is known as the "master gland" because it regulates the functions of other endocrine glands in the body by producing and releasing hormones. It is located at the base of the brain, just below the hypothalamus.
Why are the endocrine glands called ductless glands?
Because an endocrine glad does not have a tube through which it delivers hormone to the body. They just release their hormones into the space around the gland, which diffuse into the blood stream.
What are the elements that describe the thyriod as an edocrine gland?
The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland that produces hormones such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) which regulate metabolism in the body. It is located in the neck, below the larynx, and consists of two lobes connected by a narrow isthmus. The thyroid gland also produces calcitonin, a hormone that helps regulate calcium levels in the blood.
What the differences between pituitary gland and pineal glands?
No, the pineal gland and the pituitary gland are not the same. The pituitary gland is located below the hypothalamus connected to it by the infundibulum. The pituitary is responsible for the secretion of oxytocin, antidiuretic hormone, melanocyte-stimulating hormone, thyroid- stimulating hormone, prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and growth hormone. In contrast, the pineal gland is part of the epithalamus attached to the third ventricle. Cells of the pineal gland convert serotonin to melatonin which helps regulate the body's circadian rhythms.
