Endocrine System Drugs Questions And
Answers 2026 Update!!!
Collection of organs and glands that secrete
hormones into the bloodstream and stimulate
Structure and function of endocrine system
action or stimulate another gland or organ to
act. (chemical messengers)
Pituitary gland (master gland), thyroid gland,
pancreas, ovaries, testes, parathyroid gland,
What organs/glands are included in this system
hypothalamus, GI tract, Adrenal glands, Pineal
gland
Naturally produced hormones (from within) into
Endogenous
bloodstream
Hormones are administered to animal (from
outside source), mammary glands, sweat glands,
Exogenous salivary glands, liver. To correct hormone
balance, to obtain desired effect (induce
ovulation)
Nervous and endocrine system are coordinated
by hypothalamus to control hormone levels in
Feedback Mechanisms (hormone regulation)
the body through 2 types of feed back
mechanisms
Negative feedback loops (high hormone levels
detected) tells pituitary gland to stop producing
hormone
What are the 2 types of feedback mechanisms
Positive feedback loops (low hormone levels
detected) signals pituitary gland to begin or
increase hormone production
, Anterior pituitary: releases -trophic hormones,
indirect-acting which cause another gland or
Pituitary Gland “master gland” divided into 2 organ to release hormones (messanger)
lobes Posterior pituitary: releases vasopressin (anti-
diuretic hormone) and oxytocin which are direct
acting hormones
Endocrine Gland/Organ Abnormalities Originate from peripheral endocrine
gland/gland - primary disorders
