  21. Pancreas
    • Populated by structures called the islets of Langerhaus
    • Beta cells (insulin)
    • Alpha Cells (glucogon)
    • Negative feedback
  22. hypoglycemia
    • low blood glucose
    • Confusion, clumsiness, coma, death
  23. hyperglycemia
    excess ketone production in the urine, dehydration, damage to brain, arteries, and kidneys
  24. diabetes mellitus
    Insufficient insulin production

    • Secretes thymosin
    • Important for T-Cell production
    • Thymus shrinks as me age
  26. Pineal gland
    Located in the brain, near thalmus produces melatonin
  27. Melatonin
    • Inhibits reproductive functions
    • regulates body rhythm
  28. Serotonin
    • Neurotransmitter and vasconstrictor
    • stimulates smooth muscle constriction
  29. Ovaries
