Download The Endocrine System Abby

Abby, Ashley, Aidan, and David
We are the Endocrine System
Our main functions include:
 Regulation of hormones
 Growth and development
 Chemical reactions and body processes
 Prepares body to react to danger and stress
The Endocrine System
 The endocrine system is about growth, development,
metabolism, producing liquid discharges, lowers
blood calcium's by stimulating through the bones,
kidneys.
Organs in the Endocrine System
Some of the organs include:
 Parathyroid
 Thyroid
 Pancreas
 Adrenal Gland
 Ovaries
 Testes
 Pituitary
Introducing the Thyroid
 Peers, I am about to introduce you to the thyroid that
is located inside the neck.
 This is what happens when you don’t have salt or
iodine in your diet,
The Thyroid
 Hi, I am the thyroid and my job in the system is to
control growth, development and metabolism.
 I work with the parathyroid and within the nervous
system.
 A disease I can get is Goiter, and it happens when I
don’t have salt or iodine.
 I’d like to introduce you to
the parathyroid and it is
located on the four corners
of the thyroid.
The Parathyroid
 Hi everyone, I’m the parathyroid and my job within the
system is to control the blood calcium and bone calcium.
 I work with the bones and the blood because I provide
them with calcium, also, I work with the every system that
needs calcium.
 A disease I can get is osteoporosis and it happens because I
didn’t control the calcium in my body.
 Also I’m going to introduce you to the pituitary gland that
control the organs in the endocrine system.
The Pituitary Gland
 I am the pituitary gland
 My job within the system is to
direct other organs and
endocrines glands such as the
adrenal glands, to suppress or
induce hormone production
 I direct the other organs in
the system
 One disease I get is
acromegaly and it’s
overproduction of growth
hormones.
Ovaries and Testes
 I am the ovaries and testes
 Our job in the system is to
help with reproduction
 We work with the
reproductive system and
the organs in it
 One disease the testes get
is testicular cancer and one
disease ovaries get is
ovarian cancer
The next organ you will learn
about is the adrenal gland!
Adrenal Gland
 Hi I’m the Adrenal Gland
and my job in the system is
to cause the “fight or
flight” reaction, which
helps you when you’re
being attacked.
 The kidneys are dependent
on the Adrenal Glands,
because the glands secrete
the hormone aldosterone.
 A disease that the adrenal
gland can get is adrenal
gland disorder.
Pancreas
 Hi I’m the Pancreas and my
job within the system is to
inject insulin into the blood
stream to protect the blood
cells from glucose up taking
them, so you don’t gain
diseases like diabetes types 1
and 2.
 A system that is dependent
on me is the digestive system.
 A disease I can get is diabetes
type 1 or 2 if the pancreas
doesn’t succeed at it’s job.
 I would like to introduce you
to the adrenal gland.
System’s importance within our
body
 The Endocrine system works with the Skeletal,
Digestive, Muscular, Respiratory, Reproductive,
Excretory system.
 The Endocrine system works with these systems
because it control gametes formation, controls
breathing rate, controls bone growth, controls muscle
metabolism, controls water conservation in the
kidneys.
Closing to our Presentation
Medulla Oblongata and the H. B. C. should keep our
system, the endocrine, and organs as part of the human
body systems because………..
 we are needed to help the body grow and develop.
 we produce and regulate hormones and these
hormones are a big part of what keeps the body
healthy.
 our system’s organs are needed to be present in order
to keep the body working properly
 if our system was inexistent there is no possible way
for us to live
