pituitary
what does the pituitary gland do
controls the activity of all other glands
produces hormones for growth
produces prolactin (stimulate milk production)
initiates labor
maintains water levels and body temp
balances cell production
if pituitary gland is hypo active (under)
excessive thirst excessive pale piss delayed body growth malfunction of the endocrine system premature aging
if pituitary gland is hyper active (over)
giantism
skin is course
overgrowth of all body tissue
bones of fact thicken
what does the thyroid gland do
responsible for the body’s metabolism
if he thyroid is hypo active (under)
all body processes slow down heart rate and breathing are low constipation low blood pressure poor appetite with weight gain lethargic and apathetic dry coarse skin dry hair and hair loss depression

the adrenals glads are know as
the stress hormone
adrenals produce
adrenaline
sex hormones
influence the mineral levels in blood and kidneys
hormones of the cortisone family
the pancreas glands are called
islets of lagerhans
pancreas produces
insulin and glucagon
promotes utilization of sugar
a hypo pancreas
low insulin resulting in high blood sugar constant hunger and thirst excessive piss production loss of weight itching of the genitals fatigue and irritability tendency towards skin infections disturbed vision numbness of hands and feet

base of the bladder surrounding the urethra
arteries do what
allow oxygenated blood to travel away from the heart
veins do what
carry DE-oxygenated blood back to the heart
capillaries are what
blood vessel that allow blood cells to pass through one at a time
Always an exchange

alimentary canal
liver
gail bladder
pancreas
what is the alimentary canal
continuous passages from mouth to ass
the liver produces
bile
gastric juices do what
secreted by glands with in the stomach lining
braking down food till it becomes CHYME a mushy fluid
most ulcers occur in the
duodenum
the liver does what
blood comes in caring nutrients
converts nutrients to be absorbed
stores iron vitamins and other nutrients for later use
what does the liver do with carboydrates
makes and stores glycogen
broken in to glucose or blood sugar
essential for brain and muscular activity
liver detoxifies what
poisons in our blood and combats bacterial infections

true
heart and brain can regenerate T or F
false

exact mineral balance
a fraction of too much potassium would
stop the heart
kidneys control

nephron
the nephron does
filter blood from capillaries through the nephron
circularly failure will affect kidneys how
prevent sufficient blood reaching the kidneys resulting in build up of waste in the body causing death
