The Endocrine System
Why is the endocrine system important during the teen years?
The endocrine system is especially important during the teen
years because one of its main functions is to regulate growth
and development.

Lesson Objectives
In this lesson, you will learn to:
• Describe the glands of the endocrine system and the
function of each
• Examine the effects of health behaviors on the
endocrine system
Lesson
1
Structure of the Endocrine System
The Endocrine System
• The endocrine system consists of
a network of endocrine glands
located throughout the body.
• Hormones are secreted by the
endocrine glands and then
carried to their destinations in
the body by the blood.
• Hormones produced during
puberty trigger physical changes
in the body.

Structure of the Endocrine System
Pituitary Gland
The pituitary gland is known as the master gland. It has three
sections, or lobes—anterior, intermediate, and posterior.
Lesson

Structure of the Endocrine System
Lobes of the Pituitary Gland
Anterior
Intermediate
Posterior
The anterior, or front, lobe of the pituitary gland
produces six hormones.
These hormones include somatotropic, or growth,
hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, and
adrenocorticotropic hormone.
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing
hormone (LH) control the growth, development,
and functions of the gonads.

Adrenal Glands
The adrenal glands each have two parts.
Adrenal Cortex
Adrenal Medulla
The adrenal cortex secretes a hormone
that inhibits the amount of sodium
excreted in urine and serves to
maintain blood volume and pressure.
It also secretes hormones that aid the
metabolism of fats, proteins, and
carbohydrates.

Growth Disorders
Lesson

Problems of the Endocrine System
Diabetes Mellitus
• Diabetes mellitus is a disorder in which the pancreas
produces too little or no insulin, resulting in high blood
glucose levels.
• Symptoms include fatigue, weight loss, thirst, and frequent
urination.
Lesson
1
Problems of the Endocrine System
Graves’ Disease
• Graves’ disease, also called hyperthyroidism, is a disorder
in which an overactive and enlarged thyroid gland produces
excessive amounts of thyroxine.
• Symptoms include nervousness, weight loss, increased
thirst, rapid heartbeat, and intolerance for heat.
• Low thyroxine production, called hypothyroidism, causes
fatigue, dry skin, weight gain, constipation, and sensitivity
to cold.
Lesson
1
Problems of the Endocrine System
Cushing’s Disease
• Cushing’s disease results from the overproduction of
adrenal hormones.
• Symptoms include round face, humped upper back, thin
and easily bruised skin, and fragile bones.
Lesson

Problems of the Endocrine System
Goiter
• Goiter, an enlargement of the thyroid gland, is caused
mainly by a lack of iodine in the diet.
• Since the introduction of iodized salt, goiters have become
rare in the United States.
Lesson
1
Problems of the Endocrine System
Growth Disorders
• Growth disorders are caused by abnormal amounts of
growth hormone.
• With early diagnosis and proper treatment, a child with a
growth disorder can reach a normal height.

Lobes of the Pituitary Gland
Anterior
Intermediate
Posterior
The intermediate, or middle, lobe of the pituitary
secretes melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH),
which controls the darkening of the skin by
stimulating skin pigments.

Lobes of the Pituitary Gland
Anterior

Posterior
The posterior, or rear, lobe of the pituitary gland
secretes antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which
regulates the balance of water in the body.
ADH also produces oxytocin, which stimulates
uterine contractions during the birth of a baby.
