The endocrine system is composed of glands that
secrete different types of hormones that affect
almost every cell, organ, and function of our body.
Directions:
Identify the glands of the endocrine system.
Choose your answer from the box below. Use
separate sheet of paper for your answer.
•Ovary
•Pineal gland
•Adrenal gland
•Pancreas
•Testis
•Pituitary gland
•Parathyroid gland
•Thyroid gland
The endocrine system is
composed of different glands
which secrete hormones that
regulate metabolism, growth and
development, mood, and
reproduction.
Hormones are organic substances
released by the glands of the
endocrine system directly into the
bloodstream.
Hormones are capable of changing
the physiological and metabolic
behaviors of their target cells to
maintain homeostasis.
1. pituitary 5. adrenal
2. thyroid 6. pancreas
3. parathyroid 7. ovaries and
4. thymus testes

Produces hormones Produces hormones that
that control maturation influence development of
of sperm and the secondary female
development of the sexual characteristics,
and maturation of the egg
secondary male sexual cells and ovulation
characteristics;
Hormone Hormone
Testosterone Estrogen
Progesterone
A human being depends on
reproduction for continued
production of species. If humans
stop to reproduce, the human
species would become extinct.
Reproduction is a normal process
controlled by hormones. These
hormones keep both the male and
female reproductive systems to
function properly. The pituitary gland
controls the functions of both the
testes and ovaries.
Into the male system, pituitary gland
releases follicle stimulating hormone
(FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
As the FSH enters the testes, it
stimulates the Sertoli cells that are
responsible for nourishing the sperm
cells that the testes produce to
facilitate the process of sperm
production.
Also, LH enters the testes to
stimulate the interstitial cells called
the Leydig cells to make and release
testosterone into the testes and the
blood. The hormone testosterone is
responsible for the development of
male secondary sexual
characteristics and stimulates the
process of sperm production in the
testes.
In female reproductive system, the
follicles produce estrogen that controls
the growth and release of eggs from the
ovaries. Together with it is another
hormone known as progesterone which
prepares uterus so that the fertilized egg
can grow in it. Progesterone is also
responsible for preventing muscle
contraction of the uterus that can cause
the egg to detach from the uterus.
In addition, the hormone inhibin
produced by follicle cells inhibit FSH
(follicle stimulating hormone)
production. FSH (Follicle Stimulating
Hormone) and LH (luteinizing
hormone) plays in the regulation of
estrogen-progesterone levels. It
affects the development of the
follicles and maturation of the egg as
well as the process of ovulation.
