Title: Exploring Endocrine, Circulatory, and Respiratory Systems

Instructions: Your lab report will consist of the completed tables. Label each component of the endocrine, cardiovascular (circulatory), and respiratory systems and their functions in the following tables.

When your lab report is complete, submit this document to your instructor in your assignment box.

1. Endocrine System: Observe the diagram showing the major organs of the endocrine system. Using the textbook and Virtual Library resources, fill in the following table:

Endocrine System

Number	Name of the Organ or Part	Hormone(s) Produced or Secreted
1	Pituitary Gland	Antidiuretic Hormone; Corticotropin; Growth Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone; Oxytocin; Prolactin; Thyroid-stimulating Hormone
2	Parathyroid Glands	Parathyroid Hormone
3	Thyroid Gland	Thyroid Hormone; Calcitonin
4	Adrenal Glands	Aldosterone; Cortisol; Dehydroepiandrosterone; Epinephrine
5	Pancreas	Glucagon; Insulin
6	Kidneys	Erythropoietin; Renin
7	Ovaries	Estrogen; progesterone
8	Testes	Testosterone
9	Digestive Tract	Cholecystokinin; Glucagon; Ghrelin
10	Adipose (fat) Tissue	Resistin; Leptin
11	Placentia	Chorionic Gonadotropin; Estrogen and Progesterone
12	Hypothalamus	Thyrotropin-releasing Hormone; Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone; Corticotropin-releasing Hormone; Growth Hormone; Somatostatin
