The main function of the pituitary gland is to regulate the human growth hormone (HGH) and weight; main controller along with the genes of final height of a person. A malfunction in the pituitary gland can cause hypersecretion which results in gigantism or acromegaly and hypo secretion can result in dwarfism. The Thyroid Gland: The Thyroid gland is a very small vascular organ that is located in the neck. It consists of two lobes, one on each side of the trachea, just below the larynx or the voice box. The two lobes are
RIA is used to measure Thyroxine T3 while IRMA was used to measure TSH because T4. 5. How was it used to observe relative amount of iodine accumulated by thyroid gland? It is used by telling whether they have low or normal iodine. Results Table 2.
Hormones regulate various human functions, including metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sleep, and mood. The field of study dealing with the endocrine system and its disorders is endocrinology, a branch of internal medicine. Features of endocrine glands are, in general, their ductless nature, their vascularity, and usually the presence of intracellular vacuoles or granules storing their hormones. In contrast, exocrine glands, such as salivary glands, sweat glands, and glands within the gastrointestinal tract, tend to

Unit 4222-679 Diabetes Awareness Outcome 1 1. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder. Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of our bodies. 2.
This amylase converts the remaining starch into maltose. Maltose and lactose are absorbed into the small intestine. Multiple enzymes reside in the microvilli that lines the small intestine: maltase, lactase and sucrose. They’re called brush border enzymes The brush border enzymes convert the disaccharides into monosaccharides: glucose, fructose, and galactose. The monosaccharides are them absorbed into the bloodstream.
Insulin is a natural hormone made by the pancreas in the human body that controls the level of glucose in the blood. Insulin is a hormone. And like many hormones, insulin is a protein. Insulin is secreted by groups
Exocrine portion secretes digestive enzymes carried to the duodenum. Endocrine portion secretes hormones into the blood stream to help the body regulate sugar
Secretes pancreatic juice, insulin, glucagon, duodenum, and somatostatin into the bloodstream. Regulates blood sugar and completes the breakdown of protein, carbohydrates and fats 17. Responsible for the production and maintenance of the protective mucous blanket by synthesizing and secreting glycoproteins known as mucins. 18. Stores and concentrates bile 19.
