menopause, female reproductive anatomy, endocrine system is made up of organs, tissues that produce hormones, hormones, natural chemicals produced in one location, secreted, bloodstream, used by certain other target organs, system, hormones control the target organs, organ systems have own internal control systems instead of, hormones, aging, changes naturally occur, in the way that body systems, controlled, target tissues, become less sensitive to controlling hormone, hormones produced, change, blood levels of some hormones increase, decrease, unchanged, hormones, broken down, metabolized, the organs that produce hormones, controlled by other hormones, aging also changes this process, an endocrine tissue, produce less of its hormone than it did at a younger age, produce the same amount at a slower rate, aging changes, hypothalamus is located, in the brain, produces hormones that control the other structures, in the endocrine system, regulating hormones stays, the response by the endocrine organs, change, aging, a hormone, trh makes the pituitary gland produce thyrotropin, thyroid stimulating hormone, tsh, in women, tsh produced, does not decrease, does in men, pituitary gland is also located, in the brain, gland reaches its maximum size in middle age, gradually becomes smaller, has two parts, posterior, portion stores hormones produced, in the hypothalamus, anterior, portion produces hormones that affect the thyroid gland, tsh, adrenal cortex, ovaries, testes, breasts, thyroid gland is located, in the neck, produces hormones that help control metabolism, aging, thyroid often becomes lumpy, nodular, metabolism gradually declines, beginning, age 20, less thyroid hormone produced, less body mass, loss of muscle, bone tissue, that thyroid function tests, show results, the normal range, parathyroids, four tiny glands located around the thyroid, parathyroid hormone affects calcium, phosphate levels, affects the strength, the bones, in the level of parathyroid hormones, contribute to osteoporosis, insulin is produced by the pancreas, insulin hormone fits into a place on the cell wall, an insulin receptor site, acts, a lock, key to help sugar, glucose, go, blood, inside of cells, where it, energy, average fasting glucose level rises 6 to 14 mg/dl, milligrams per deciliter, each 10 years after age 50, the cells, become less sensitive, effects of insulin, a loss, in the number of insulin receptor sites, in the cell wall, changes, older people periodically should have blood drawn to check glucose levels, make sure they aren't, in the early stages of diabetes, high blood sugar, adrenal glands, above the kidneys, adrenal cortex, surface layer, produces the hormones aldosterone, cortisol, aldosterone regulates fluid, electrolyte balance, cortisol, "stress response" hormone, affects the breakdown of glucose, protein, fat, has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy effects, aldosterone secretion decreases, contribute to light-headedness, a drop in blood pressure, sudden position changes, orthostatic hypotension, cortisol secretion decreases, the level stays, ovaries, testes have two functions, produce the reproductive cells, ova, sperm, produce the sex hormones that control secondary sex characteristics, breasts, facial hair, aging, men sometimes experience a slightly decreased level of testosterone, women have decreased levels of estradiol, estrogen after menopause, effect of changes, hormones, decreased, unchanged, hormones, decreased, aldosterone, renin, calcitonin, growth hormone, in women, estrogen, prolactin levels, decrease, hormones that remain unchanged, slightly decreased, thyroid hormones t3, t4, cortisol, insulin, epinephrine, parathyroid hormone, 25-hydroxyvitamin d, testosterone levels, decrease slightly, men age, hormones, increase, follicle-stimulating hormone, fsh, leutinizing hormone, lh, norepinephrine, related topics, aging changes in immunity, aging changes in organs, tissues, cells, aging changes, in the female reproductive system, aging changes, in the male reproductive system, menopause.
