Cushing's is a very specific syndrome but there is a variety of causes.\n\nTreatment varies from medication to control the secretion of cortisol to surgical removal of the adrenal glands and lifelong steroid therapy.

The endocrine system is a control system of ductless glands that secrete chemical messengers called hormones that circulate within the body via the bloodstream to affect distant organs. Hormones act as "messengers", and are carried by the bloodstream to different cells in the body, which interpret these messages and act on them. The endocrine system does not include exocrine glands such as salivary glands, sweat glands and glands within the gastrointestinal tract.\n\nThe field of medicine that deals with disorders of endocrine glands is endocrinology, a branch of the wider field of internal medicine.\n\nHypothalamus \nThyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) \nGonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) \nGrowth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) \nCorticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) \nSomatostatin \nDopamine \nPituitary gland \nAnterior lobe (adenohypophysis) \nGH (human growth hormone) \nPRL (prolactin) \nACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) \nTSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) \nFSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) \nLH (luteinizing hormone) \nPosterior lobe (neurohypophysis) \nOxytocin \nADH (antidiuretic hormone) \nPineal gland \nMelatonin \nThyroid gland \nThyroxine (T4), a form of thyroid hormone \nTriiodothyronine (T3), a form of thyroid hormone \nCalcitonin \nParathyroid gland \nParathyroid hormone (PTH) \nHeart \nAtrial-natriuretic peptide (ANP) \nStomach and intestines \nGastrin \nSecretin \nCholecystokinin (CCK) \nSomatostatin \nNeuropeptide Y \nLiver \nInsulin-like growth factor \nAngiotensinogen \nThrombopoietin \nIslets of Langerhans in the pancreas \nInsulin \nGlucagon \nSomatostatin \nAdrenal glands \nAdrenal cortex \nGlucocorticoids - cortisol \nMineralocorticoids - aldosterone \nAndrogens (including testosterone) \nAdrenal medulla \nAdrenaline (epinephrine) \nNoradrenaline (norepinephrine) \nKidney \nRenin \nErythropoietin (EPO) \nCalcitriol \nSkin \nCalciferol (vitamin D3) \nAdipose tissue \nLeptin \n\nIn males only\nTestes \nAndrogens (testosterone) \n\nIn females only\nOvarian follicle \nOestrogens \nTestosterone \nCorpus luteum \nProgesterone \nPlacenta (when pregnant) \nProgesterone \nHuman chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) \nHuman placental lactogen (HPL) \n\nRole in disease\nDiseases of the endocrine system are common, such as diabetes mellitus and thyroid disease.\n\nEndocrineopathies can occur with any of these. Hypofunction can occur as result of loss of reserve, hyposecretion, agenesis, atrophy, destruction, etc. Hyperfunction can occur as result of hypersecretion, loss of suppression, tumor, hyperplasia, etc.\n\nEndocrineopathies are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary.\n\nPrimary is target organ dysfunction and is normally associated with increased or decreased secretory hormones. Secondary is a dysfunction that originates elsewhere like the pituitary gland and is normally associated with increased or decreased production of trophic factors. Tertiary is associated with dysfunction of the hypothalamus and its releasing hormones.\n\nDiffuse Endocrine System\nOrgans aren't the sole way for hormones to be sent into the body; there are a host of specific cells which secrete hormones independently. These are called the "diffuse" endocrine system, and include myocytes in the heart (atria) and epithelial cells in the stomach and small intestines. In fact, if one were to classify any chemical excretions in the term "hormone," every cell in the human body could be considered a part of the endocrine system.

Your endochrine glands. It is your thyroid and adrenal glands that release pheromones and control their production.

Yes and no.  The hypothalamus controls the autonomic nervous system and regulates blood pressure, heart rate, hunger, thirst, sexual arousal and the sleep/wake cycle. Connected to the pituitary gland and thus regulates the endocrine system.  But, not all authors regard the hypothalamus as part of limbic system.\n\nThese are the other parts of the limbic system:  \n\nhippocampus: involved in the formation of long-term memory\n\namygdala: involved in aggression and fear\n\ncingulate gyrus (the circular shape of the cingulate gyrus resembles that of a belt, hence the name)\n\nfornicate gyrus\n\narchicortex

They are controlled by hormones. Parathyroid gland controls calcium level of your body by secreting parathyroid hormone (PTH). Blood pressure is controlled by adrenal glands. It secretes adrenaline, aldosterone and cortisol. The body regulates phosphate levels in the blood through the controlled release of PTH from the parathyroid gland and calcitonin from the thyroid gland.

Should be absolutely none. Anaemic blood transports pit hormones just as well as normal blood and has no effect on the hypothalamus or pituitary.

it's growth hormone(GH), produced by the thyroid gland. the hormone secretion is under the control of another hormone, the Thyrotropic Hormone (TTH) secreted by the pituitary gland. GH stimulates metabolism, thus inducing growth. try looking it up! good luck ;)

The pituitary gland (which is part of the endocrine system) secretes HGH {human growth hormone} which promotes bone growth.This is how the endocrine system works with the skeletal system.

The endocrine system is a control system of ductless glands that secrete chemical "instant messengers" called hormones that circulate within the body via the bloodstream to affect distant cells within specific organs. \nPineal gland is a ductless gland\nSalivary glands, sweat glands and glands within the gastrointestinal tract are known as Exocrine glands and they are \nnot ductless glands.\nPlease see the webpages for more details on Pineal gland and endocrine gland.

The second condition you mentioned is actually called Arnold Chiari Syndrome. This is where part of the brain at the back called the Cerebellar Tonsils decend lower than they should and sometimes poke out of the bottom of the skull (where the spinal cord usually comes out). This can cause headaches but could also squeeze that part of the brain causing unsteadiness or weakness. Sometimes surgery is necessary to fix this. \n\nHere's a reliable website about it: www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/chiari\n\nSheehan's syndrome is damage to the Pituitary gland, usually during childbirth.If a woman's pituitary gland is starved of blood because she bled severely during childbirth, the gland may lose its ability to function properly. The pituitary gland, which is located at the base of the brain, is responsible for producing a variety of hormones that help regulate growth, reproduction, and metabolism. Tissue death in her pituitary gland and leads to "hypopituitarism" ie loss of function of these hormones.

The brain prolactin upon orgasm, which shuts off sexual desire and makes you sleepy. I can't find out how it makes you sleepy though.

The pituitary gland stores and releases hormoes called gonadotropins( FSH- follicle stimulating hormone and LH luetinizing hormone) which triggers the production of testosterone  LH is responsible for the secreting of the sex hormones testosterone and FSH is resonsible for stimulating the productin of sperm, IF a decrease in LH occurs a decrease in testoterone will occur.

No, but there are tumors (specifically of the pituitary gland, which is located just below part of your brain) that can increase prolactin levels.

CORITSOL - "Cortisol secretion is controlled by adrenocorticotrophic hormone from the pituitary. It rises in response to stress and is essential for life. It stimulates gluconeogenesis, breaking down lean tissue, and is anti-imflammoitory"
