Review • Where does pepsinogen come from? • Why doesn’t the stomach digest itself? • Why can Veggans not eat meat anymore?
Function • Maintain Homeostasis (Balance) • Communicates and coordinates physiological responses • Example of Imbalance?
Hormones • Chemical messengers • Stimulate physiological responses in other cells • Target Cells • Tropic (Trophic) Hormones • Hormone whose target is another endocrine gland. • How do hormones travel?
Hormone Production and Distribution • Production • Endocrine Glands • Gland: an organ specialized to produce secretions • Distribution • Relies on blood circulatory system • How does this compare to nervous system?
Hypothalamus Pituitary Thyroid Parathyroid Pancreas Adrenal Gonads Endocrine Glands
Hypothalamus • Location- Base of brain case • Functions- Regulation of Primitive or Basal activities such as sex drive and water balance • 9 hormones- • 7 act on anterior lobe of pituitary gland (Tropic) • 2 stored in posterior lobe
Hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal system • What type of vessels comprise a portal system? • What is unique about a portal system?
Hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal system and tract • Location- • Pituitary Stalk (Infundibulum) • Link the hypothalmus to the pituitary gland • Portal- Capillary beds connect to anterior lobe • Tract- Neurons connect to posterior lobe
Pituitary gland • Location- Sphenoid bone of the skull • Anterior Lobe • Produces Six hormones that Regulate • Reproduction • Growth • Activity of the Thyroid Gland • Posterior Lobe • No hormone production only storage of hypothalamic hormones
Thyroid • Largest endocrine gland • Location- Wrapped around anterior and lateral sides of Trachea, just below Larynx • Hormone- Thyroid Hormone • Function- Increases Metabolic Rate
Parathroid Glands • Location- Four glands imbedded on posterior surface of Thyroid • Hormone- Parathyroid Hormone • Function- Calcium Regulation
Cortex Zona Glomerulosa: Outer layer Zona Fasciculata: Middle Layer Zona Reticularis- Inner Layer Medulla Location- 2 glands one superior to each Kidney. Adrenal Glands
Cortex- Zona Glomerulosa Mineralocorticoids- Regulate Kidney Na+ and K+ excretion Zona Fasiculata Glucocorticoids- Stress and immune supression Zona Reticulata- Sex steroids- androgens precursor to sex hormones Medulla- (Fight or Flight Response) Epinepherine and Norepinephrine Adrenal Glands
Location- Inferior and posterior to Stomach Pancreatic Islets Clusters of endocrine cells Function- Glucose Regulation Pancreas
Gonads • Male- Testes • Secrete Androgens such as Testosterone • Female- Ovary • Secrete Estrogen and Progesterone
Homeostatic Control • Metabolic Rate • Growth Hormone • Blood Glucose Levels • Blood Calcium Levels • Water Retention • Stress
Metabolic Rate • Hormones released in response to a decrease in T3 blood levels • Affects: All cells in the body except brain, spleen, testes, uterus and the thyroid gland • Results: Increase in basal metabolic rate, oxygen consumption and heat production
Hypothyroidism (Creatinism) Children: mental retardation, development abnormalities Adults: lethargy, obesity Goiter Hyperthyroidism (Graves’ Disease) Weight loss, sweating, nervousness, sleeplessness Goiter -----a hypertrophy of the thyroid gland resulting from iodine deficiency Disorders
Growth • Gland- Pituitary Gland • Hormone- • Growth Hormone: increases mitosis and cellular differentiation. • Secreted in response to Sleep, Trauma, Exercise, High protein meals, and Low blood sugar • Effects • Directly: Liver • Indirectly: Bone, Muscle, and Cartilage
Pituitary Dwarfism- Insufficient secretion of Growth Hormone Gigantism- Over-secretion of Growth Hormone Disorders
Blood Glucose Levels • Gland- Pancreas • Hormones • Insulin- increases uptake of glucose by cells • Glucagon- increases release of glucose by cells and increases liver glucose production • Released in response to… • Insulin: high blood glucose levels • Glucagon: low blood glucose levels • Effects- • Systemic • Liver
Disorders • Diabetes Mellitus- Disruption of Metabolism due to lack of insulin or lack of response to insulin. • Symptoms- Excessive Urine, Intense Thirst, and Ravenous Hunger • Type I- (Juvenile of Insulin Dependant) Destruction of Insulin Producing Cells • Type II- (Adult or Noninsulin Dependant) Target cells resistant to Insulin
Blood Calcium Levels • Gland- Parathyroid • Hormone- Parathyroid hormone • Released in response to low calcium levels • Effects • Kidneys- Retain Calcium • Bones- Release Calcium
Disorders • Hyper- or Hypo-parathyroidism • Hyper-parathyroidism: Over Secretion • Soft, Fragile Bones • Kidney stones • Hypo-parathyroidism: Under Secretion • Rapid Decline of Blood Calcium • Fatal
Water Retention • Gland- Hypothalamus • Stored and released by posterior pituitary • Hormone- ADH • Released in response to Dehydration and High Osmolarity (thickening) of blood • Effects?
Stress • Gland- Adrenal Cortex • Hormones • Glucocorticoids • Effect- Systemic
Disorders • Cushing Syndrome • Cause: Excess Glucocorticoids • Disrupts Protein and Fat Metabolism • Symptom is abnormal fat deposits, fatigue and exhaustion
Cushing Syndrome (cont.) After Surgery
Dissection & Review • Cat Questions- • You won’t need to find the specific glands • You will need to know region of the body where found • You will need to know location of organs affected • Lab Notes at Library on Reserve • Research Papers Next Week Due • Reviews for final exam will be in Two Weeks.
