Learn About the Thymus Gland The thymus gland is the main organ of the lymphatic system. Its primary function is to promote the development of specific cells of the immune system called T-lymphocytes. Once mature, these cells leave the thymus and are transported via blood vessels to the lymph nodes and spleen.

- The Adrenal Medulla is the inner part of the adrenal gland. The hormones secreted effect the structures in the body that are under the control of the sympathetic nervous system, aiding the body to deal with stressful situations such as fright, attack or pursuit.he Thyroid itself secretes three main hormones: 1  Thyroxine contains iodine which is essential for the body's normal growth, and metabolism. 2  Triiodothyronine has similar functions to thyroxine. 3  Calcitonin causes a decrease in the concentration of calcium in the blood.

Endocrine System Adrenal-The adrenal glands are located medial and superior to the kidneys and are bean shaped. The function of the adrenal gland is to raise blood sugar, increase metabolism and to regulate mineral absorption in the kidneys. The Adrenal glands secrete epinephrine, norepinephrine, glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid.Pancreas-The pancreas is located at the end of the small intestines and is on the right side of the cat. The gland is a light and extends toward the spleen.The function of the pancreas is to raise and lower blood sugar levels with the use of insulin and glucagon. In both the human and to cat the endocrine system is present and serves an important function.he thymus is located in a different spot in cats than it is in humans. In humans the thymus is located behind the sternum and in cats the thymus is located in the mediastinal cavity between the two lung lobes. The difference between an organ and a gland is quite simple.

AUTONOMIC PHARMACOLOGY & PHYSIOLOGY Parasympathetic & sympathetic systems often have antagonistic effects in each organ. Sweat glands and most vascular smooth muscles have only sympathetic innervation. Ciliary muscle of the eye has only parasympathetic innervation. Bronchial smooth muscle Only parasympathetic innervation: Constriction. Smooth muscle sensitive to circulating adrenaline: Dilation. Salivary glands: Systems produce similar, rather than opposite, effects.

Its … main job is to  secrete hormones that control the metabolism of the cells in your  body. Known as one of the body's master glands, the thyroid's  primary purpose is to produce hormones.hen the thyroid receives  thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland, it  produces triiodothyronine which is commonly referred to as T3, and  thyroxine which is commonly referred to as T4. These hormones  regulate the metabolism, protein synthesis and sensitivity to other  hormones in the body.

Cremaster muscle The cremaster muscle's function is to raise and lower the testes in order to regulate scrotal temperature for optimal spermatogenesis and survival of the resultant spermatozoa. It does this by increasing or decreasing the exposed surface area of the surrounding tissue, allowing faster or slower dissipation of body heat.

When Brunner Glands Are Not So Innocent The investigators noted dysplastic changes in 2.1% of cases of Brunner gland hyperplasia, with only 0.3% of those being invasive carcinoma. In this case series, we examined 2 Brunner gland tumors. The first case was benign and the second was malignant. Both cases manifested as recurrent episodes of melena and iron-deficiency anemia.

What Is the Function of Gastric Glands? The zymogenic or chief cells produce the enzymes pepsin and rennin. Pepsin digests proteins and rennin curdles milk.The parietal cells located throughout the gland are responsible for the production of hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid is essential to activation of other enzymes in the body.

- The Anatomy. The thyroid gland is one part of the endocrine system which is primarily responsible for the regulation of healthy hormones in the body. The thyroid gland is considered as one of the largest endocrine glands in the body. It weighs 2-3 grams in newborns and 18-60 grams in adults.s I have said earlier, the thyroid gland is responsible for the regulation of the metabolism of the body. This means that the thyroid secretes hormones that are responsible for burning the calories, fats and other nutrients used by our body for energy.

Salivary gland The salivary glands in mammals are exocrine glands, glands with ducts, that produce saliva.They also secrete amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch into maltose. minor salivary gland may have a common excretory duct with another gland, or may have its own excretory duct. Their secretion is mainly mucous in nature (except for Von Ebner glands-see next section) and have many functions such as coating the oral cavity with saliva.

Pituitary gland Hormones secreted from the pituitary gland help control: growth, blood pressure, certain functions of the sex organs, thyroid glands and metabolism as well as some aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, nursing, water/salt concentration and the kidneys, temperature regulation and pain relief.he anterior pituitary (or adenohypophysis) is a lobe of the gland that regulates several physiological processes (including stress, growth, reproduction, and lactation). The intermediate lobe synthesizes and secretes melanocyte-stimulating hormone.

Scent gland Scent gland. Scent glands are exocrine glands found in most mammals. They produce semi-viscous secretions which contain pheromones and other semiochemical compounds. These odor-messengers indicate information such as status, territorial marking, mood, and sexual power. The odor may be subliminal—not consciously detectable.
