GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is located at the base of the brain, near the optic chiasm where the optic nerves behind each eye cross and meet. Pineal body. Pituitary. Thyroid and parathyroid. Thymus. Adrenal gland. Pancreas. Ovary. More items

Detailed explanation-2: -The pancreas has dual roles-it is an organ of the digestive system and of the endocrine system. The exocrine pancreas produces enzymes that help to digest food, particularly protein. The endocrine pancreas makes the hormone insulin, which helps to control blood sugar levels.

Detailed explanation-3: -Endocrine Function: The endocrine component of the pancreas consists of islet cells (islets of Langerhans) that create and release important hormones directly into the bloodstream. Two of the main pancreatic hormones are insulin, which acts to lower blood sugar, and glucagon, which acts to raise blood sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main hormones secreted by the endocrine gland in the pancreas are insulin and glucagon, which regulate the level of glucose in the blood, and somatostatin, which prevents the release of insulin and glucagon.

Detailed explanation-5: -The female ovaries, male testes, and pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands are major constituents of the endocrine system.
