Can you live without your adrenal gland?
no we cant live without our adrenal gland as it has very important role in our physiology and it secreat some hormones which are necessary for living like aldosterone which is important in maintaining BMR of body, cortisol which are known as life protecting hormone as maintain blood glucose level etc..
Yes you can and many people do. People can live with one or none. Life is maintained with hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone, two medications that replace the cortisol, sodium that your system no longer makes. You are just adrenal dependent. You could go into an adrenal shock if you have a major illness, accident or shock as your body does not make the "fight or flight" cortisol. You then need to inject or be injected with a powerful steroid called dextramethesone within a very short time or you will go into adrenal crisis. The end result of that is your organs shut down one by one and you die. You need to wear a MEDICALERT bracelet that states that you are adrenal insufficient and steroid dependent. Glad I could help with this information.
How is FSH used in the artificial control of fertility?
Fsh is follicle stimulating hormone. It is secreted by the pituitary gland and, very simply, it helps the ovaries to release eggs. If a woman is short of this hormone the ovaries may not develop properly, and ovulation may not occur. It is also necessary in men for the development of the testes and the production of sperm. If it is supplied artificially it can improve fertility.

What is true regarding endocrine glands?
Endocrine glands:
- are ductless ("endo" means "internal") and supply their products directly into the bloodstream,
- manufacture hormones (biological chemicals that influence the operation of other organs and tissues),
- include the pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands. The stomach also has endocrine activity,
- are critical to bodily functions. The thyroid creates thyroxin, which regulates the body's overall metabolic rate. Low thyroxin (hypothyroidism) means low energy consumption, lethargy and weight gain, for example. A faulty pancreas leads to low insulin levels, excessive/erratic blood sugar, and diabetes,
- differ from exocrine ("external") glands such as the liver, which supplies products into other body systems, such as bile into the digestive tract.
ENDOCRINE GLANDS ARE DUCTLESS
What is connection between endocrine system and urinary system?
The endocrine system (specifically pituitary gland and adrenal gland (cortex)) secrete hormones (ADH - antidiuretic hormone & aldosterone) which cause the kidneys to reabsorb salt. This, in turn, causes the kidneys to increase water re-absorption. All of this increases blood volume, which increases blood pressure.
Alternatively, ANH (Atrial Natriuretic Hormone) is secreted by the atrium of the heart. This causes the kidneys to reabsorb less sodium (and less water) which decreases blood volume and decreases blood pressure.
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine are released from the adrenal glands (medulla) during short-term stressful events, which increases blood pressure by vasoconstriction and slows digestion and bowel movements.
What are symptoms of Type I diabetes mellitus?

As glucose enters the urine, it brings water molecules with it and, in turn, urine volume increases and, 'voila', polyuria happens..
