The hypothalamus–pituitary complex can be thought of as the “command center” of the endocrine system. Identify the six hormones produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, their target cells, their principal actions, and their regulation by the hypothalamus.Identify the two hormones released from the posterior pituitary, their target cells, and their principal actions.Explain the interrelationships of the anatomy and functions of the hypothalamus and the posterior and anterior lobes of the pituitary gland.Organs with Secondary Endocrine Functionsĭevelopment and Aging of the Endocrine Systemīy the end of this section, you will be able to: Muscles of the Pectoral Girdle and Upper LimbsĪppendicular Muscles of the Pelvic Girdle and Lower Limbsīasic Structure and Function of the Nervous SystemĬirculation and the Central Nervous Systemĭivisions of the Autonomic Nervous System Interactions of Skeletal Muscles, Their Fascicle Arrangement, and Their Lever SystemsĪxial Muscles of the Head, Neck, and BackĪxial Muscles of the Abdominal Wall and Thorax Nervous Tissue Mediates Perception and Responseĭiseases, Disorders, and Injuries of the Integumentary SystemĮxercise, Nutrition, Hormones, and Bone TissueĬalcium Homeostasis: Interactions of the Skeletal System and Other Organ SystemsĮmbryonic Development of the Axial Skeletonĭevelopment and Regeneration of Muscle Tissue Organic Compounds Essential to Human Functioning Inorganic Compounds Essential to Human Functioning
