3. ï± The endocrine system is controlled by two
parts of the brain: the pituitary gland and the

FUNCTIONS OF ENDOCRINE
SYSTEM
ï± Maintain Internal Homeostasis
ï± Support Cell Growth
ï± Coordinate Development
ï± Coordinate Reproduction, fertility, sexual function
ï± Facilitate Responses to External Stimuli
9. ï± Derived from the somatotroph cells
ï± Its secretion is controlled by GHRH and
somatostatin
ï± Secretion of GHRH and somatostatin
regulated by hypothalamus.
ï± Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) released
from the liver inhibits GH secretion by
stimulating somatostatin secretion from the
hypothalamus.

13. ï± Thyroid gland consist of two type of cells
ï± Follicular cells â synthesized T3 and T4
hormone.
ï± Para-follicular cells â synthesized and release
calcitonin.
ï± Synthesis and release of TSH by pituitary is
controlled by hypothalamus primarily through
TRH, while somatostatin inhibits TSH secretion.
