Question

name the endocrine gland in which the following hormones are synthesized . Write one function of the hormone
a) Glucagon
b) Melatonin
​

Answer 1

1) The hypothalamus acts as an endocrine organ as it synthesizes hormones and transports them along axons to the posterior pituitary gland. The hypothalamus also synthesizes and secretes regulatory hormones that control the endocrine cells in the anterior pituitary gland.

2) Hormones serve as chemical messengers in the body and help maintain homeostasis. Hormones are released into bodily fluids, like blood, which carry them to target cells. Target cells respond to a hormone when they express a specific receptor for that hormone.
