hormone-secreting structures. Some of the cells of these endocrine glands are derived fromnervecells that migrated during the process of evolution from the nervous system to various locations in the body. These independent endocrine glands have been described only in arthropods (where neurohormones are...
There are four major categories of messenger molecules: amines, steroids, peptides and lipids. This chapter focuses on the steroids and peptides hormones. Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) is a peptide hormone of 45 amino acid residues in teleost and chondrostean species that belongs to ...
and many glands of the digestive system. Types There are multiple ways of classing exocrine glands: Structure Exocrine glands contain a glandular portion and a duct portion the structures of which can be used to classify the gland. The duct portion may be branched (called pound) or...
Structures of the Endocrine System The endocrine system consists of cells, tissues, and organs that secrete hormones as a primary or secondary function. The endocrine gland is the major player in this system. The primary function of these ductless glands is to secrete their hormones directly into ...
systemand thus a neuroendocrine structure, it may also release hormones in response to information sent from other parts of the nervous system. In addition to this set of structures, the pancreas gland secretes insulin, which controls the levels of glucose available to thebody's tissues. The...
The structures which are responsible for the release of the compounds in the circulation of the blood are included in a system known as the endocrine system. The compound is known as a hormone. The structures are known as endocrine glands....

including theadrenal cortex, the gonads and the major part of the thyroid. Part of the hypothalamus extends into the neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary) to form a single anatomic and functional unit. Nuclei within the hypothalamus control thesympathetic nervous system, which includes theadrenal medul...
