You have thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands in your body. Thyroid produces thyroxine hormone. Parathyroid gland produces parathyroid hormone. Adrenal gland produces the cortisol and adrenaline, for example.

What is the chemical product of an endocrine gland?

The chemical product of an endocrine gland is called a hormone. These cause changes in the body. Different glands will produce different hormones for different purposes. For example, the adrenal glands will produce adrenaline (fight or flight hormone), the pituitary gland will produce testosterone and oestrogen (puberty hormones) and the hypothalamus in the brain will produce many hormones that regulate bodily functions such as breathing, heart-beat, body temperature etc.


What organ produces hormones?

!.the endocrine system. 2. There are endocrine and exocrine glands in this system. 3. Hormones are produced in the pancreas, thyroid, kidneys, suprarenal glands (or adrenal glands) reproductive organs...and maybe the GI tract, I think.


Two types of glands found in the skin are the and glands?

Endocrine1. produces hormones which travel along the blood vessels sending signals for metabolism, mood, and many bodily functions; hormones travel inside the body, and are not intended to leave the body through any opening.2. endocrine glands usually release the hormones directly into the blood stream, there are no specific ducts or vessels for them to move out of the gland.3. it's an integrated system of small organs which produce hormones to control many internal bodily functions.Exocrine:1. Many exocrine glands produce liquids, many of which are enzymes, which leave the glands via ducts and empty into a body cavity such as intestine, mouth, or completely exit the body (via duct opening in skin). They have an immediate destination unlike the hormones traveling all over the body via blood vessels.2. Many exocrine glands have special ducts which take the enzyme or liquid produced by the gland to the outside of the body or to a body cavity.3. The exocrine glands operate more independently from other exocrine glands. And the enzymes they produce often work on the outside of the body: the digestive system is inside the body but it is actually a system which transports nutrients external to the body - mouth to anus is like an external long tube containing matter which is not part of the body (food eaten, digested matter, and waste).


What part of the skin produce perspiration which helps cool your body?

There are 2-3 million eccrine glandsdistributed over every inch of skin on the human body. They produce a clear, odorless substance that is mostly water with sodium chloride in small amounts. They become active during thermoregulation (cooling of the body) and emotional sweating (anxiety, fear, stress and pain). Other skin glands are the sebaceous glands (oil glands associated with hair follicles) and apocrine glands (located in groin, armpit and breast & activated by the sex hormones).


Hormones are classified as?

Hormones are classified as chemical messengers produced by endocrine glands that regulate various physiological processes in the body. They can be further categorized as steroid hormones, peptide hormones, and amines based on their chemical structure.


What are the 3 major parts of male reproductive system?

The three major parts of the male reproductive system are the testes, the genital ducts, and the accessory glands. The testes produce sperm and hormones, primarily testosterone. The genital ducts, including the epididymis, vas deferens, and urethra, transport sperm. Accessory glands, such as the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands, contribute fluids to form semen, which nourishes and transports sperm.


What are 3 examples of exocrine glands?

Exocrine glands are glands that secrete their products to the outside of the body. Examples include sweat glands, which secrete a hypotonic salt solution to the surface of the skin; portions of the pancreas, which secrete pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes and bicarbonate into the small intestine; and salivary glands, which secrete saliva into the mouth.


What gland controls hormones?

The pituitary gland controls the release of hormones by many glands 1.) Primary glands- glands who's main purpose is to create and secrete hormones 2.) Secondary glands-Glands who's main purpose is something else, but they also (like a part-time job vs. a full time job) create and secrete hormones there are 7 Primary endocrine glands- 1.)Parathyroid glad- secretes parathyroid hormone which increases calcium concentration in plasma 2.)Pineal Gland- secretes melatonin (pertaining to circadian rhythms sleep/wake cycle) 3.) Pancreas which secretes- Insulin, somatostoin, glucagon 4.) Adrenal glands- a.) cortex- secretes androgens, mineralcorticoids,glucocorticoids b.)Medulla- chrommafin cells secrete epinephrine and norepinephrine 5.)Gonads- estrodiols, adrostenodione, progesterone, testosterone 6.)Thymus- thymosin 7.) Thyroid- T3, T4, Calcitonin (antagonist to parathyroid, decreases calcium concentration in plasma) Secondary: 1.)Heart- Atrialneuropeptides 2.) Liver- Insulin-like growth factors 3.)Kidneys- Erythropoietin, renin 4.)GI track-CCK, gastrin, secretin,GIP 5.)Skin-Vitamin D


How many spit glands do you have?

There are three major pairs of salivary glands: the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. There are also many tiny glands in your lips, the inside of your cheeks, and the lining of your throat and mouth.

What is the purpose of sweat gland in your skin?

it helps in our vocal voice.What is the purpose of the Parathyroid Glands?There are four tiny parathyroid glands which are located on the posterior side of the thyroid gland which have two on each lobe. The parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormones which regulates the amount of calcium in the blood. If the calcium is too low, parathyroid hormone moves calcium from the bones to the blood. Parathyroid hormone actually has an opposite action from that of calcitonin secreted by the thyroid gland.


What 3 ways can endocrine glands stimulate themselves?

Endocrine glands usually release hormones into the blood stream that affect how body tissues behave as well as how some glands and muscle perform. The three ways that stimulate endocrine glands to release hormone are as follows; the release of another hormone, presence of some substances in extracellular fluids and neural stimulation.
