  1. Glands1. What kind of epithelial tissue is associated with glands?2. What kind of connective tissue is associated with glands?3. Are glands controlled by the somatic or autonomic nervous system?4. What are the 2 categories of glands?

  2. Ductless Glands Diffuse tissue Pineal gland Hypothalamus Pituitary gland Thyroid gland Parathyroid glands (on dorsal aspect of thyroid gland) Thymus Adrenal glands Pancreas Ovary (female) Testis (male) 592

  3. Signaling MoleculesChemicals produced by the body that target cells, causing them to change their behavior.Ex. Parathyroid hormone targeting osteoclastsInclude: Hormones and Neurotransmitters

  4. FunctionsInternal Control-Coordinate body activities (gametes)-Maintain homeostasis (calcium)-Growth and development-Regulate metabolism-Helps body respond to stress (adrenaline)Works with ANS (Endocrine and ANS are 2 primary systems that regulate the human body)-ANS controls release of hormones-Hormones can initiate or inhibit nerve impulses-Endocrine system slower, but longer lasting

  5. Amino Acid Based Hormones-Proteins -Most common -Bind to surface receptors (G protein linked)-Amines -Small, simple, derived from a.a. tyrosine -Most act like protein hormones and bind to surface receptors. -Include: epinephrine, norepinephrine, melatonin -NOTE: amines produced by the thyroid gland will act more like steroid hormones instead of proteins.

  6. Protein hormones use G protein linked receptors (2nd messenger Systems) Extracellular fluid 1 Hormone (1st messenger) binds receptor. Adenylate cyclase G protein (GS) 5 cAMP acti- vates protein kinases. Receptor Active protein kinase GDP Inactive protein kinase 2 3 4 Receptor activates G protein (GS) G protein activates adenylate cyclase. Adenylate cyclase converts ATP to cAMP (2nd messenger). Hormones that act via cAMP mechanisms: Epinephrine ACTH FSH LH Triggers responses of target cell (activates enzymes, stimulates cellular secretion, opens ion channel, etc.) Glucagon PTH TSH Calcitonin G protein can be activated or inhibited depending on the hormone. Cytoplasm 594

  7. Fat soluble (lipophilic) hormones: Steroids and thyroid amines Steroids -Cholesterol -Ovary -Testes -Cortex of adrenal gland Steroid hormone Plasma membrane Extracellular fluid 1 The steroid hormone diffuses through the plasma membrane and binds an intracellular receptor. Cytoplasm Receptor protein Receptor- hormone complex 2 The receptor- hormone complex enters the nucleus. Hormone response elements Nucleus The receptor- hormone complex binds a hormone response element (a specific DNA sequence). 3 DNA 4 Binding initiates transcription of the gene to mRNA. mRNA *Thyroid amine receptor is always bound to the DNA The mRNA directs protein synthesis. 5 New protein 599

  8. Eicosanoids: Hormone-Like; Locally acting (No circulation); Paracrine vs. Autocrine -made of fatty acids from phospholipids -released due to mechanical or chemical stimulation of cell membranes (Except RBC’s) -Bind to surface receptors (G protein linked) -Rapidly inactivated -Production inhibited by aspirin and ibuprofen Prostaglandins -Influence smooth muscle, pain, inflammation Leukotrienes -Respiratory system -Inflammation and bronchoconstriction

  9. Target Cell Specificity (Activation)Hormones bind to a matching receptor, but their activation of the target cell depends on: • Blood levels of hormone • Number of receptors • Up regulation • Down regulation (drug tolerance) • Affinity (binding strength high or low)

  10. Cells decrease numbers of receptors in response to higher levels of a hormone. Cells increase numbers of receptors in response to low levels of a hormone.

  11. Epinephrine has better binding affinity with alpha receptors so therefore will cause a greater response at cells with alpha receptors.

  12. Interaction of Hormones at Target Cells • Permissiveness: One hormone cannot exert it’s full effect without another hormone present. (Thyroxine and adrenaline at the heart) • Synergism: 2 or more hormones with the same effects at target cell can work together to amplify their effect. • Antagonism: One hormone opposing the action of another hormone. (insulin vs. glucagon and blood sugar)

  16. Figure 16.5 The hypothalamus controls release of hormones from the pituitary gland in two different ways. (2 of 2) Aka: Adenohypophysis Anterior Pituitary: Lots of receptors Hypothalamus Hypothalamic neurons synthesize GHRH, GHIH, TRH, CRH, GnRH, PIH. Anterior lobe of pituitary Superior hypophyseal artery 1 When appropriately stimulated, hypothalamic neurons secrete releasing or inhibiting hormones into the primary capillary plexus. 2 Hypothalamic hormones travel through portal veins to the anterior pituitary where they stimulate or inhibit release of hormones made in the anterior pituitary. Hypophyseal portal system • Primary capillary plexus A portal system is two capillary plexuses (beds) connected by veins. 3 In response to releasing hormones, the anterior pituitary secretes hormones into the secondary capillary plexus. This in turn empties into the general circulation. • Hypophyseal portal veins • Secondary capillary plexus GH, TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH, PRL Anterior lobe of pituitary glandular 601 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

  17. Figure 16.5 The hypothalamus controls release of hormones from the pituitary gland in two different ways. (1 of 2) Aka: Neurohypophysis Posterior Pituitary: Paraventricular nucleus Hypothalamus 1 Hypothalamic neurons synthesize oxytocin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Posterior lobe of pituitary Optic chiasma Supraoptic nucleus Infundibulum (connecting stalk) 2 Oxytocin and ADH are transported down the axons of the hypothalamic- hypophyseal tract to the posterior pituitary. Inferior hypophyseal artery Hypothalamic- hypophyseal tract Axon terminals 3 Oxytocin and ADH are stored in axon terminals in the posterior pituitary. Posterior lobe of pituitary 4 When hypothalamic neurons fire, action potentials arriving at the axon terminals cause oxytocin or ADH to be released into the blood.
