Document Summary

Plays a role in regulating growth and maturation through chemical substances called hormones. Hormones secreted by the hypothalamus regulate the pituitary gland: pituitary gland regulates the adrenal gland, thyroid and release of sex hormones. Growth hormone- secreted by anterior pituitary gland: stimulates protein anabolism tissue building, can have negative effects if give when body isn"t expecting it ie. for doping purposes, can use gh. Thyroid hormones- t3 and t4 primarily regulate metabolism: graves disease. Gonadal hormones: influence on growth, sexual maturation (sex organs, secondary sex characteristics, androgens. Secreted by adrenal glands in boys and girls. Promote growth of muscle mass: estragon. Secreted by adrenal cortex in boys and girls. Extrinsic factors exert influenced, especially in the formation of synaptic connections. Rapid formation of immature neurons (up to a rate of 250,000 per minute: begin to migrate to their final position, once in place, neurons develop axons to carry signals.
