The Endocrine System

The Endocrine is manifested by the presence of the Seven Spirits of the Elohim in the Body. The Endocrine System is part of the intricate feedback system of the Brain and Nerve System. The Brain, the nerve system and the Endocrine glands work together to regulate the growth, development and maintenance of the body.

The endocrine system consists of Seven Endocrine Glands. The endocrine glands produce hormones which are the chemical messengers of the endocrine system. These chemical messengers, which regulate the body functions, are secreted by the endocrine glands into the spaces between the cells, and then the hormones enter the bloodstream.  The hormones circulate around the body in the bloodstream to target cells, tissues and organs which receive only the particular hormone they are receptive to. When the level of a particular hormone in the blood is too high production is decreased, and when a level is too low more is produced.

The Seven Endocrine Glands

  • 1. The Pineal Gland is the integrator of the endocrine system. The right brain and left brain send impulses through the Corpus Collosum to the Pineal Gland. The Pineal Gland produces a hormone called Mellatonin which regulates sleep and awake states. The Pineal regulates the rhythms and timing of cycles of body functions. Mellatonin stimulates the Hypothalamus. The hypothalamus secretes a hormone that stimulates or inhibits the secretion of pituitary gland hormones. (The Coordination- Timing)
  • 2. The Pituitary Gland is the coordinator of the endocrine system. The pituitary stimulates the growth of most body tissues and helps regulate metabolism. The pituitary also stimulates the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, the synthesis of pigments in the skin and  the regulation of water absorption by the kidneys. In women the pituitary stimulates the ovaries, ovulation, the secretions of estrogen and progesterone, the uterus in preparation for the fertilized egg, the contractions of the uterus in child birth, the production and release of milk in the breasts. In men the pituitary stimulate the testes, the production of testosterone and the production of sperm. (Integration)
  • 3. The thyroid and parathyroid regulate metabolism in the body. They also control the calcium levels in the blood, promote skeletal growth, help the body in the use of carbohydrates, proteins, fats and cholesterol. (Assimilation)
  • 4. The thymus gland controls the general growth of the body and the immune system. The thymus plays a major role in the body's immune system response. It also controls the lymphatic system and the production of antibodies and T-cells (white blood cells). (Balance-Growth)
  • 5. The Adrenal Glands stimulate the fight or flight response. It increases blood sugar levels, increases blood pressure and affects secondary sex characteristics. The adrenal glands control salt and water balance in the body. (Protection)
  • 6. The Pancreas stimulates the digestive system and regulates the blood sugar levels of the blood with insulin and glucagon. (Giving and Receiving)
  • 7. The Gonads are the ovaries in women and the testes in men. The gonads also are contributors in the sexual and survival drives in humans. The ovaries are responsible for the development and maintenance of female secondary sexual characteristics, sexual organs, the production of eggs and the menstrual cycle and sexual reproduction. The testes are responsible for the development and maintenance of the male secondary sexual characteristics, sexual organs, the production of sperm and sexual reproduction. (Survival)
