1. Endocrine System
By: Joe Chandler

2. How It Works
• The endocrine system works by having ductless
glands that produce and release hormones into
the bloodstream.

3. What It Does
• The hormones act on certain body conditions to
regulate them. The glands that produce
hormones are ductless, meaning that the
hormones are released directly into the
bloodstream.

4. 3 Structures
• The endocrine has many types of glands. Some
include the pancreas, pituitary gland, thyroid
gland, and adrenal glands. They all serve specific
purposes and help us in different ways.

5. Pancreas
• The pancreas releases two types of hormones. One type
is released into the small intestines to help with
digestion. This means that the endocrine system
interacts with the digestive system. It also releases a
hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. If it isn’t
producing enough then someone gets diabetes.

6. Adrenal
• The adrenal gland is made of two parts, the
cortex and medulla. Its right above the pancreas.
The adrenal gland releases adrenaline to
regulate your body when you are scared, angry,
and some other things.

7. Pineal
• The pineal gland is located near the center of the
brain. It is like the “internal clock”. It releases
hormones that make you sleepy, hungry, ect. It
can also release hormones that can affect the
color or pigmentation of the body.

8. Interactions
• Digestive- the pancreas releases hormones that
help with digestion.
• Nervous- the nervous system tells the glands
when to release some hormones such as
adrenaline when you see something scary.
• Reproductive- some gland produce hormones
that allow humans to reproduce

9. Development
• As soon as week 4, the early signs of the
endocrine system growing appear. Each gland or
organ starts to develop and produce hormones
and T Cells at their own rate.
