amount of calcium in human body. In such a way‚ thyroid generates calcitonin‚ whereas parathyroid glands regulate the level of calcium in human body through production of hormones. 4. The hypothalamus’ function is to link the nervous system to the endocrine system via pituitary gland. The hypopthalamus is responsible for certain metabolic processes‚ including synthesizing secreting certain neurohormones‚ which are called hypothalamic-releasing hormones‚ which stimulate or inhibit secretion of pituitary

regulation consists of the cardiovascular system‚ assistance with the neural and endocrine system via the release of hormone regulators. This form of regulation incorporates the stimulation of the heart and vasomotor which controls the peripheral vasoconstriction. The main form of vasoconstriction involved in neural regulation is norepinephrine (Martini‚ Ober‚ & Nath‚ 2015). It’s important to recognize that the

carry glucose out of the blood stream. The pancreas‚ a major endocrine organ‚ contains special cell types‚ called endocrine cells‚ which cluster together in the islets of Langerhans and secrete insulin and glucagon‚ the first step in blood glucose regulation. After a meal‚ if the endocrine system is working in homeostatic balance‚ blood sugars rise and insulin prompts the cells to take up the glucose. Diabetes is classified as an endocrine system disorder because diabetes can be the result of three
