The rise in blood sugar causing the pancreas to release insulin to lower blood sugar is an example. In a positive feedback loop, a stimulus begins a process which will continue as long as the stimulus continues; as happens with a nursing infant, where the suckling releases milk from the mother’s breast until the suckling stops.30-*In Summary (cont.)30.5 The hypothalamus, pituitary, and pineal glands are located within the brain. The thyroid and parathyroid glands are located in the neck. The thymus is found in the mediastinum. The adrenal glands are located above each kidney, and the pancreas is located behind the stomach. In females, the gonads (ovaries) are in the abdominal cavity and in males, the gonads (testes) are found within the scrotal sac.30-*In Summary (cont.)30.6 The pituitary gland releases the following hormones: GH, MSH, ACTH, TSH, FSH, LH, PRL, ADH and OT. Each hormone’s specific function may be found in Table 30-1.30.7 The thyroid gland releases calcitonin, T3, and T4 which are important in growth and protein synthesis. The parathyroid releases PTH which balances the action of calcitonin. 30-*In Summary (cont.)30.8 The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine, which work with the sympathetic nervous system. The adrenal cortex produces many hormones, but the two major ones are aldosterone for BP maintenance and cortisol, which decreases inflammation.30.9 The endocrine cells of the pancreas are known as the Islets of Langerhans. The two types of cells are Alpha cells, which release glucagon, and Beta cells, which release insulin.30-*In Summary (cont.)30.10 The pineal body releases melatonin to regulate circadian rhythms, the thymus releases thymosin and thymopoietin to promote T cell production, ovaries release estrogen and progesterone (females), and the testes (males) release testosterone.30.11 The kidneys produce erythropoietin, affecting the bone marrow, and the heart produces atrial natriuretic peptide, affecting BP.30-*In Summary (cont.)30.12 Stressors are defined as stimuli that produce a stress response, a physiologic response to the stimulus that changes the body’s functioning in some way.30.13 The diseases and disorders of the endocrine system are as varied as the organs and hormone dysfunctions that cause them. An overview of these conditions is in Table 30-2, and more detail on the most common of these conditions is found in the Pathophysiology section at the end of this chapter.30-*End of Chapter 30Its not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it. ~ Hans Selye
