The endocrine system The Endocrine system is made out of 8
major glands, they’re group of cells that produce and secrete chemicals. Organs such as the kidney, liver, heart and the gonads help the Endocrine System. The kidney secretes hormones (erythropoietin and renin).

Pineal and Pancreas gland

Pancreas Gland- Location The pancreas is located in the abdomen, behind
the stomach and connected to the small intestine

Pineal Gland- Location This gland is located behind the third
cerebral ventricle in midline of the brain. Which is deep inside the brain.

The pineal gland is a small gland that produces serotonin derivative melatonin, that hormone affects you wake/sleep functions.
Function- Pineal gland
![Page 7: Pineal and Pancreas Glands](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816150550346895dd0d6bd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Function- Pancreas
The enzymes that are secreted by the exocrine gland helps break down carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and acids that are found in the duodenum.
-Made up of two glands: exocrine and endocrine.
-The hormones that are secreted in the endocrine gland in the pancreas are glucagon, insulin, and somatostain.

Hormones Pineal Gland produces melatonin.
Influences sleep/wake cycles. Sexual development
Pancreas produces insulin and glucagon.
Regulates levels of glucose in the blood

Hormone- Insulin regulates glucose levels in blood. Makes
it possible for glucose to enter our body’s cells.

Hormone- Glucagon Glucagon is secreted by cells that are
called “alpha” when the blood glucose is low. Whenever the blood glucose is high no glucagon is secreted. Glucose has more effect on the liver. Its function is to cause the liver to release glucose from the cells to the blood.

Pineal gland- Disorder Melatonin deficency
A deficient amount of melatonin is released
Symptomsa) Insomnia b) Anxietyc) Elevated estrogen/progesterone ratio

Pancreas- Diabetes The pancreas is very much responsible
for the secretion of insulin and glucose to control blood sugar, improper functioning can lead to diabetes.
Symptoms of diabetes= Increased urination, Excessive thirst and appetite, unusual weight loss or gain.
(see video for diabetes)

Interesting facts ;) The pancreas has taste receptors, just
like our mouth does in order to detect sweetness.
The pineal gland is cone shaped and it can also be called “the third eye”
