Endocrine System Functions and Hormones Overview
PROLACTIN
Secretes milk, estrogen, and progesterone. Inhibits the action of GONADOTROPINS.
Secretion of PRL is inhibited by the hypothalamus through the PRL-inhibiting hormone (PIH).
PRL increases with surgical stress, psychological nipple stimulation, pregnancy, and childbirth.
THYROID
Regulates lipids and carbohydrates, essential for growth and normal metabolism.
Deficiency leads to physical and mental issues, while excess causes hyperactivity and heat production.

The Brain
The brain, or telencephalon, is the superior part of the central nervous system. It is divided into three parts: the mesencephalon, the protuberance, and the bulb rachidian.
Within this group, we find the thalamus, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is the smallest gland in the body and handles the endocrine system. It secretes hormones that signal to the entire body.
The thalamus, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland are located in the center of the brain.
