Follicle-stimulating hormone signals the formation of estrogen and progesterone by the female reproductive system.Adrenocorticotrophic hormone: Stimulates secretion of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoid hormones.Thyroid-stimulating hormone: Stimulates the thyroid gland to produce T3 & T4 hormones.Luteinizing hormone: Stimulates ovulation (egg formation) in females and testosterone production in males.Somatotropin: A hormone that regulates the growth of the body and tissues.Prolactin: Stimulates milk production in mothers.I) Anterior pituitary gland: Located in the front part of the pituitary The gland is differentiated as anterior and posterior glands and has definite secretions for each type i.e. This is a gland located below the hypothalamus in the brain.įor more about its anatomy, refer to the pituitary structure. These glands produce milk to nourish the newborn baby. Mammary glands are modified sweat glands present in the female reproductive system. This helps to prevent the entry of insects and microbes into the ear. This ear wax contains lysosomal enzymes and immunoglobulins. They secrete sticky material called cerumen which is sticky (ear wax). These are modified sweat glands present in the outer ear. The lysosome enzyme helps to destroy microbes entering the eye. They secrete tears that have the lysosomal enzyme, salts, immunoglobulins, and water. These are the glands present near the eye. These enzymes digest carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, respectively. This pancreatic juice consists of digestive enzymes like pancreatic amylase, trypsin, and lipase. Its exocrine portion secretes pancreatic juice into the duodenum of the small intestine. The pancreas is a gland located near the digestive tract. Numerous mucous glands are present in the mucosa layer throughout the digestive tract.
It helps to absorb the wear and tear during the digestion of food. Mucous is a protective layer in the gastrointestinal tract. Check the functions of saliva for more details. This salivary amylase helps in the digestion of carbohydrates in the mouth. They secrete saliva, which consists of the enzyme salivary amylase. These are the glance located in the mouth. Examples of exocrine glands include Salivary glands This secretion mostly contains enzymes and other substances. The secretion from the core of the gland is carried through a duct and released at the site of action. These glands secrete their contents into a particular region of the body. Exocrine secretion is sent out of the gland while the secretion of the endocrine glands is collected by the blood capillary.
