manages uterine contraction hormone and

breast milk stimulation

 Thyroid– releases thyroxine for cellular

oxygen consumption/heat and energy

 Parathyroid – release parathormone to

regulate calcium and phosphate

 Adrenal – secrete steroid hormones for

salt balance, sodium retention, potassium

secretion by kidneys, regulate

carbohydrate, lipid and protein

metabolism and sex hormones

insulin, islets of Langerhans secrete

Glucagon to work antagonistically with

insulin, together they maintain blood

glucose levels

anorexia, abdominal discomfort, vomiting,

diarrhea

Hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, fluid

retention, weight gain, weakness, fatigue,

hypertension
