The document discusses hormones and the endocrine system. It explains that hormones are chemical messengers secreted by endocrine glands that affect cells in other parts of the body. The document provides examples of hormones like estrogen, testosterone, insulin, and others. It also discusses hormonal imbalances and disorders that can result like goiter, diabetes, or growth issues. The learning objectives are to explain the effects of hormones not being properly regulated and the role of hormones in the male and female reproductive systems.
1. LEARNING COMPETENCY:
Explain the role of hormones secreted by the
endocrine glands in our body and those
involved in the female and male reproductive
systems. (S10LT-IIIb-34)

hormone in the body if not properly
regulated.

Answers to Guide Questions:
Dwarfism may arise if the pituitary gland is not producing
enough growth hormones.
A person with excessive secretion of growth hormones by the
pituitary gland will have a condition called gigantism.
The thyroid gland of the person is inflamed as there is an
underlying abnormality in thyroid secretion.
22. Q4. What is the result if parathyroid is not producing
enough calcium?
Q5. What condition may arise if there is too much body
fat and is caused by hypothyroidism or underactive
thyroid gland?
Answers to Guide Questions:
The gland cannot make enough thyroid hormone if it does not
have enough iodine in the blood, so taking iodized salt is
helpful.
A person with excessive secretion of growth hormones by the
pituitary gland will have a condition called gigantism.
23. Q1. How does using iodized salt help in preventing
thyroid problems?
Q2. How does the medical condition of a person
with endocrine dysfunction affect his or her way
of life?
Elaborate
The gland cannot make enough thyroid hormone if it does not
have enough iodine in the blood, so taking iodized salt is
helpful.
24. Elaborate

25. Describe hormone and how it
affects body processes.
How does hormonal
imbalance happen?
Cite some disorders caused by
hormonal imbalance.
26. Hormones affect various processes in the body as they
regulate and balance the functioning of organs, tissues, and
cells. Hormones have great impact on your growth,
appearance, emotions, and reproductive functions. These
determine whether or not you develop disorders such as
diabetes, thyroid disease, growth disorders, or sexual
dysfunction. Hormones act in very small amounts. An
increase or decrease in hormonal levels may result in body
disorder due to hormonal imbalance
28. • Where it comes from: Adrenal Gland
• Where it acts: heart, blood vessels, eyes
• What it does: stimulates heart rate,
increases blood pressure, dilates pupils
• Causes "Adrenaline Rush”
• A 'fight and flight' hormone.
• It is released in high stress conditions
or in excitement or fear.
• Loud noise, high temperature etc. may
also trigger its release since these are
also high stress situations.

29. • Where it comes from: ovary
(where an egg was released)
• Where it acts: uterus
• What it does: controls
menstruation in women and plays
a role in pregnancy.
• One of the components of birth
control pills
Return to hormones slide
30. • Where it comes from: thyroid gland
• Where it acts: most cells of the body
• What it does: controls the rate of
metabolic processes (how energy is
used) in the body and influences
physical development
• People may not produce enough of
this hormone and get a condition
known as hypothyroidism. They can
take thyroxine to treat this
condition. Return to hormones slide
31. • Where it comes from: testicles
• Where it acts: body-hair cells, muscle,
reproductive structures
• What it does: stimulates development
of male sexual characteristics
• Testosterone is a steroid and has been
administered to athletes in order to
improve performance. This is
considered to be a form of doping in
most sports and is a very dangerous
practice.
• Females also produce small amounts of
testosterone in their ovaries that affect
muscle development and other body
functions.

32. • Where it comes from: ovary
• Where it acts: breast tissue,
reproductive structures in female
• What it does: stimulates
development of female sexual
characteristics
• Estrogen levels may be related
somehow to migraine headaches
in women.

33. • Where it comes from: outer
part of adrenal gland
• Where it acts: multiple tissues
• What it does: mental
stimulation, breaks down fat
and protein to glucose, anti-
inflammation
• It is usually referred to as the
"stress hormone" as it is
involved in response to stress
and anxiety.
Return to hormones slide
34. • Where it comes from: Insulin is
produced in the pancreas
• Where it acts: liver, muscle, and
fat tissue
• What it does: Insulin causes cells
to take up glucose (sugar) from
the blood, storing it in the liver
and muscle, and stopping use of
fat as an energy source.
• Problems with insulin
production or use in the body
can lead to diabetes.

35. • The Endocrine Glands
are the organs of the
Endocrine System.
• They produce and
secrete (release)
Hormones.
• They are located all over
your body.
