Integration & Control: The Endocrine System Endocrine System Works w/ nervous system to control all functions of the body Endocrine glands Ductless Hormones
Endocrine System Works w/ nervous system to control all
functions of the body Endocrine glands Ductless Hormones Pineal,
pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, etc. Exocrine glands Ducts
Non-hormones Salivary, sebaceous, sweat
Slide 4
Endocrine System Hormones Chemical signals Carried in
bloodstream Affect cells away from gland Homeostatic
Slide 5
Hormones Positive feedback Increase in hormone stimulates
further secretion Uterine contractions stimulate oxytocin Negative
feedback Increase in hormone inhibits further secretion Thyroid
Stimulating Hormone produces T3/T4
Slide 6
Hormones Peptide hormones Water soluble Mostly protein Attach
to cell membrane Trigger secondary messenger within cell
Epinephrine, oxytocin, antidiuretic hormone (ADH), etc.
Slide 7
Hormones Steroid hormones Water insoluble Cholesterol-based
Cross into cell Bind to receptors in cytoplasm or nucleus Estrogen,
testosterone, cortisol, etc.
Slide 8
Pituitary Gland Master Gland Associated with & directed by
hypothalamus Posterior & Anterior lobes
Slide 9
Pituitary Gland Posterior Lobe Stores secretions from
hypothalamus Oxytocin Uterine contractions Milk let down ADH
Conserves water Kidney tubules reabsorb water
Slide 10
Pituitary Gland Anterior Lobe Prolactin Breast development
Stimulates & sustains milk production
Slide 11
Pituitary Gland Anterior Lobe Growth Hormone (GH) Stimulates
body cells to grow & divide Mostly young bones & muscles
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Thyroid gland growth Secretion of
thyroid hormones Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) Adrenal gland
growth Secretion of cortisol from adrenal gland
Pituitary Gland Anterior Lobe Melanocyte- Stimulating Hormone
(MSH) Stimulates melanocytes in skin Increases during human
pregnancy Increases in amphibians in dark location
Slide 14
Pituitary Gland Anterior Lobe Endorphins Natural pain-killers
Sense of well-being Strenuous exercise, excitement, orgasm Runners
High
Slide 15
Slide 16
Thyroid Gland Regulates speed of all basic cellular processes
Energy burning Protein synthesis Thyroxine (T 4 ), Triiodothyronine
(T 3 ) Controls metabolism Affects growth Calcitonin Lowers blood
calcium levels Increases deposit of calcium in bones
Slide 17
Parathyroid Gland Calcium metabolism Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)
Breaks down bone to release calcium Increases intestinal absorption
Increases kidney retention
Slide 18
Adrenal Gland Cortex Produces corticosteroids
Mineralocorticoids Aldosteronecontrols electrolytes through kidneys
Glucocorticoids Cortisolstress hormone Increases blood pressure
& blood glucose Suppresses immune system Andgrogens
Testosterone Cause masculine traits
Slide 19
Adrenal Gland Medulla Hormones released under stress Controlled
by sympathetic nervous system Epinephrine 80% of medullary hormones
Increases heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar Increases
sympathetic effects Norepinephrine 20% of medullary hormones
Maintains blood pressure
Slide 20
Thymus Gland Large in infant Increases until puberty Shrinks
until adulthood Thymosin Normal development of immune system
Slide 21
Pineal Gland Melatonin Regulates biological clock Regulates
sleep cycle Lower vertebrates, cells resemble photoreceptor cells
of eye May be triggered by light
Slide 22
Pancreas Endocrine & exocrine Digestive enzymes Glucagon
Breaks down glycogen to glucose Frees stored glycogen in liver
Insulin Lowers blood glucose Increases uptake of glucose into body
cells
Slide 23
Ovaries Estrogen Female sexual characteristics Sperm maturation
& libido in males Progesterone Prepares uterus for egg
implantation Regulates menstrual cycle
Slide 24
Testes Testosterone Male sexual characteristics Sexual
behaviors Male behaviors Aggression Territoriality
Slide 25
Other organs Kidneys Erythropoietinstimulates red blood cell
production Skin Calcidiolinactive form of vitamin D Skeletal muscle
Thrombopoietinstimulates platelet formation Adipose (fat)
Leptindecrease appetite, increase metabolism
Slide 26
Hormonal Imbalances Hypersecretion of GH Gigantismin children
Acromegalyin adults
Slide 27
Hormonal Imbalances Hyposecretion of GH Pituitary
dwarfismchildren, slow bone growth
Slide 28
Hormonal Imbalances Hypothyroidism Fatigue Thin, brittle hair
& nails Weight gain Poor muscle tone Goiter Inflammation of
thyroid gland Can be due to iodine deficiency
Slide 29
Hormonal Imbalances Hyperthyroidism Weight loss Ravenous
appetite Irritability, anxiety Fatigue Hyperactivity Graves disease
Protrusion of eyes Edema (fluid accumulation) Thickening of skin
Goiter
Slide 30
Hormonal Imbalances Diabetes insipidus Deficiency of ADH
Increased urine output Chronic dehydration risk Diabetes mellitus
Deficiency of insulin High blood glucose levels Type Iusually
before age 20, pancreas cells stop producing, autoimmune Type
IIusually after age 40, insulin levels normal, cells dont respond
to it
Slide 31
Hormonal Imbalance Addisons disease Adrenal gland produces
insufficient glucocorticoids Low blood pressure Darkening of skin
Vomiting, diarrhea Mood, personality changes Cushings disease
Overproduction of glucocorticoids Weight gain Thin skin, often
stretched Muscle weakness Hirsuitism (horses & humans)
Hyperglycemia
