Regulation: Endocrine System and Hormones
Regulatory Systems: Nervous and EndocrineNervous System Endocrine SystemFast actingShort-lived effectsMessages are
electrochemical (action potential and neurotransmitters)
Messages travel along neurons
Slower activityLonger-lasting
effectsMessages are
chemical (hormones)
Messages travel through the bloodstream
Endocrine System and HormonesThe endocrine system is made up of glands
that secrete hormones into the bloodstream
The exocrine system is made up of glands that make secretions that are released out of the body
Hormones are the endocrine chemical messengers:They are usually carried in the bloodThey effect the metabolic activity and cause
specific changes in target cells or glandsThey attach to receptors on/in target cells
and either activate or oppress protein synthesis in that cell OR activate enzymes already present in the cytoplasm
Hormone Release and Specificity Hormones are released by glands into the
blood stream, which carries the hormone throughout the body
Hormones then diffuse out of capillaries into the interstitial fluid
Hormones only affect cells with matching receptors and cannot bind to cells with different receptors
The target cell action in response to a hormone is based on two things: type of receptors and intracellular proteins based on the target cell
Example of Different Target Cell Reaction
Hormone Release is Regulated by Positive or Negative FeedbackThe release of most hormones are regulated by
negative feedback mechanisms (ie. ADH, thyroxine)In endocrine negative feedback mechanisms, the
effects or release of a hormone usually inhibits the gland that produces “the source” of the hormone.
The release of some hormones are regulated by positive feedback mechanisms (ie. oxytocin)In endocrine positive feedback mechanisms, the
effects or release of a hormone usually excites the gland to produce more of that hormone
However, all positive feedback mechanisms eventually stop by the use of a negative feedback mechanism
Classes of HormonesPeptide Hormones: chains of amino acids (ie. insulin)Amino-Acid Derivative Hormones: hormones derived
from one or two amino acids (ie. epinephrine)Peptide hormones and amino acid derivatives usually bind to
receptors on cell membranesSteroid Hormones: lipid-based hormones synthesized
from cholesterol made of complex rings of carbon and hydrogen atoms (ie. testosterone)Steroid hormones usually bind to receptors located in the cell
cytoplasm or nucelusProstaglandins: made of two fatty acid carbon chains
attached to a five carbon ringMade by every cellAct locally
Types of Hormones
Peptide-hormone
Amino-acid derivative
Steroid hormone
Peptide and Amino Acid Hormone Effect on Cells Peptide and amino-acid derivative hormones
cause the activation or inhibition of enzyme activity already present in the cell
Peptide and amino-acid derivative hormones cannot enter the cell because the plasma membrane is hydrophobic
These hormones rely on a second messenger system to produce effects on the cell
The most common second messenger is cyclicAMP
1. The hormone binds to a receptor on the cell membrane
2. The binding activates a G protein attached to the receptor
3. The G protein stimulates adenylyl cyclase to produce cAMP from ATP through phosphorlysis
4. cAMP binds to and activates other enzymes, such as α-kinase, that catalyze specific reactions
Peptide and Amino Acid Hormone Effect on Cells
Peptide and Amino Acid Hormone Effect Animation
Steroid Hormone Effect on CellsSteroid hormones cause proteins to be produced or
not produced by interacting with the cellular DNA of target cells
Steroid hormones are hydrophobic like the plasma membrane, so they diffuse through the plasma membrane
1. The steroid hormone diffuses through the cell membrane
2. The hormone binds to a receptor in the cytoplasm that carries it into the nucleus, or just to a receptor in the nucleus directly
3. The hormone-receptor complex binds to a specific part of the DNA
4. This causes RNA polymerase to bind to a promoter cite
5. RNA polymerase transcribes DNA into mRNA6. The mRNA leaves the nucleus, binds to a
ribosome, and causes the synthesis of the protein instructed by the promoter site

Endocrine Glands and their Hormones Hypothalamus: ADH, oxytocin, releasing hormones Pituitary Gland: (anterior) ACTH, TSH, GH, PRL, FSH, LH
(posterior) oxytocin and ADH Pineal Gland: melatonin Thyroid Gland: thyroxine, calcitonin Parathyroid Glands: parathyroid hormone Thymus Gland: thymosins Heart: atrial natriuretic peptide hormone Adrenal Glands: (medulla) epinephrine, norepinephrine
(cortex) glucocorticoids, aldosterone, testosterone Kidney: erythropoietin Fat: leptin Pancreas: glucagon, insulin Testes: androgens (testosterone) Ovaries: estrogen, progesterone
Endocrine Glands and their Hormones
The HypothalamusThe hypothalamus: perceives impulses
from the brain, scans the chemical composition of the blood, and sends chemical signals to the pituitary gland
It is the connection between the two regulatory systems
Controls body temperature, blood pressure, emotions
Secretes hormones called releasing factors that control the secretions of the anterior pituitary gland
Creates two hormones: oxytocin and ADH, that are released via the posterior pituitary gland
The Pituitary Gland The anterior pituitary gland produces its own hormones, the
posterior pituitary gland releases hormones produced by the hypothalamus
The pituitary gland produces hormones that controls most of the other glands
Releasing hormones delivered from the hypothalamus by neurosecretory cells either cause or inhibit the anterior pituitary to secrete its own hormones
Hormones of the anterior pituitary gland:Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)Growth hormone (GH):Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)Luteinizing hormone (LH)Prolactin (PRL)Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)Endorphins:
Hormones of the posterior pituitary gland (produced in hypothalamus):OxytocinAntidiuretic hormone (ADH)
Pituitary Gland Hormones
Oxytocin and ProlactinOxytocin stimulates the contraction of
smooth muscles in the uterus and the production of milk during and after childbirth
Oxytocin binds to milk gland muscles, and causes them to contract, pushing out milk
Prolactin stimulates milk production and breast development
Both hormones are regulated by positive feedback mechanisms during breast-feeding and childbirth
Hormones in Breastfeeding
Metabolism HormonesThyroxine is released by the thyroid glandThe hypothalamus produces thyroid-releasing hormone
(TRH), which stimulates the anterior pituitary to release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which stimulates the thyroid gland to produce and release thyroxine.
Thyroxine is an iodine containing hormone that regulates and controls cellular metabolism: it regulates the rate of fat, protein, carbohydrate metabolism and the rate of cellular respiration
Thyroxine is regulated by a negative feedback mechanismHyperthyroidism
High blood pressure, weight loss, overheating, irritabilityHypothyroidism
Leads to low blood pressure, overweight, often cold, lethargy
Iodine Deficiency
Stress ResponseThe sympathetic nervous system stimulates the adrenal
medulla to secrete epinephrine and norepinephrine, which trigger the “fight-or-flight” response
Stress triggered by epinephrine and norepinephrine is “short-term stress” and is not bad for you
Epinephrine and norepinephrine carry out the functions of the sympathetic nervous system and increase blood glucose levels through the breakdown of glycogen
“Long-term stress” is triggered by the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary gland. Long-term stress is unhealthy if prolonged
ACTH stimulates the release of glucocorticoids and androgens (mineralcorticoids) from the adrenal cortexGlucocorticoids break down fats and proteins to increase blood
glucose levels; they also suppress immune responseAndrogens (minearlcorticoids) increase sodium ion and water
retention and increase blood pressure and blood volume
Short vs. Long Term Stress Response
Reproductive Hormones: MalesThe male reproductive glands are the testes, which are
responsible for spermatogenesis and testosteroneGonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is made in the
hypothalamus and stimulates the release of FSH and LH Luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary
stimulates Leydig cells to produce testosteroneTestosterone helps regulate sperm, and stimulates
secondary male sex characteristics, development, and growth spurts.
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary, with the help of testosterone, stimulates Sertoli cells to produce sperm cells
Reproductive hormones are regulated through negative feedback
Spermatogenesis and Testosterone
Reproductive Hormones: FemalesThe female reproductive hormone glands are the ovaries,
which are responsible for the production of egg cells and the hormones estrogen and progesterone
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is made in the hypothalamus and stimulates the release of FSH and LH
Luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the production of the corpus lutem, which produces estrogen and progesterone
Estrogen stimulates the production of secondary female sex characteristics, breast development, and menstruation
Progesterone is important in the regulation of the menstrual cycle, as it stimulates the shedding of the uterine lining
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates follicle cells to mature into egg cells
Glucose HomeostasisThe pancreas is both an exocrine and endocrine organ:
Cortical (cortex) cells release digestive enzymesIslet cells produce endocrine hormones
The main islet of Langerhan cells: produce endocrine hormones, are:α islet cells produce glucagonß islet cells produce insulin
Glucagon and insulin work together with a negative feedback mechanism to maintain glucose homeostasis
Insulin targets liver and muscle cells and causes increased glucose uptake and metabolism
Glucagon targets liver and muscle cells and causes increased glycogenolysis (breakdown of glycogen into glucose) and gluconeogenesis (production of glucose)
Glucose Homeostasis
Calcium HomeostasisCalcium homeostasis is regulated by a
negative feedback mechanism involving calcitonin and parathyroid hormone
Calcitonin is produced in the thyroid gland, and lowers calcium levels in the blood by depositing calcium in the bones and reducing sodium ion reabsorption during excretion
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is produced in the parathyroid gland, and increases calcium levels in the blood by releasing calcium from the bones, increasing calcium ion reabsoprtion during excretion, and increasing sodium intake through the intestines with the help of vitamin D
Calcium Homeostasis
Sodium and Water Balance Sodium water balance is directly regulated by aldosterone
(mineralcorticoids), which increases the reabsorption of sodium ions and water, leading to increased blood volume and pressure
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), produced in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary gland increases the permeability of the collecting ducts in nephrons, increasing water reabsorption and increasing blood pressure
Decreased reabsorption is caused by the lack of aldosterone and ADH Aldosterone is produced by the adrenal cortex A decrease in sodium ion levels in the blood or an increase of potassium
ion levels in the blood directly stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce aldosterone
A decrease in blood volume or blood pressure stimulates the kidney to produce the enzyme renin, which catalyzes angiotensin II, a hormone that stimulates the release of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) can also directly stimulate the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone
Increased blood pressure or blood volume causes the heart to release atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), which inhibits the release of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex
Sodium and Water Balance
Other HormonesGrowth Hormone: controls growth by increasing bone size
and stimulating mitosisEndorphins: suppress pain by blocking receptors in the brainErythropoietin: increases the production of red blood cells in
the bone marrow; produced in the kidneys in response to low oxygen levels
Thymosine: stimulates the maturation of white blood cellsMelatonin: regulates sleeping cycles; produced in the pineal
gland; not fully understoodLeptin: thought to increase appetite; produced in adipose
cells; not fully understoodMelanocyte-stimulating hormone: stimulates the
melanogenesis in melanocytes; produced in the anterior pituitary gland
