Presentation Transcript

  1. Endocrine System Hormones

  2. Regulation • Why are hormones needed? • chemical messages from one body part to another • communication needed to coordinate whole body • homeostasis & regulation • metabolism • growth • development • maturation • reproduction growth hormones

  3. Regulation & Communication • Animals rely on 2 systems for regulation • endocrine system • system of ductless glands • secrete chemical signals directly into blood • chemical travels to target tissue • slow, long-lasting response • nervous system • system of neurons • transmits “electrical” signal & release neurotransmitters to target tissue • fast, short-lasting response

  4. Regulation by chemical messengers • Neurotransmitters released by neurons • Hormones release by endocrine glands endocrine gland neurotransmitter axon hormone carried by blood receptor proteins receptor proteins target cell

  5. Classes of Hormones • Protein-based hormones • polypeptides • small proteins: insulin, ADH • glycoproteins • large proteins + carbohydrate: FSH, LH • amines • modified amino acids: epinephrine, melatonin • Lipid-based hormones • steroids • modified cholesterol: sex hormones, aldosterone insulin

  6. How do hormones act on target cells • Lipid-based hormones • hydrophobic & lipid-soluble • diffuse across membrane & enter cells • bind to receptor proteins in cytoplasm & nucleus • bind to DNA as transcription factors • Protein-based hormones • hydrophilic & not lipid soluble • can’t diffuse across membrane • receptor proteins in cell membrane • trigger secondary messenger pathway • activate internal cellular response • enzyme action, uptake or secretion of molecules…

  7. Action of lipid (steroid) hormones steroid hormone target cell blood S 1 S cross cell membrane protein carrier S 2 cytoplasm binds to receptor protein becomes transcription factor 5 mRNA read by ribosome S 3 plasma membrane 4 DNA mRNA 6 7 nucleus protein protein secreted ex: secreted protein = growth factor (hair, bone, muscle, gametes)

  8. Action of protein hormones signal-transduction pathway 1 signal proteinhormone plasma membrane P activates G-protein binds to receptor protein activates enzyme cAMP acts as 2° messenger receptorprotein ATP transduction GTP activatescytoplasmicsignal ATP activates enzyme 2 secondary messengersystem activates enzyme cytoplasm response 3 produces an action target cell

  9. Ex: Action of epinephrine (adrenaline) adrenal gland signal 1 epinephrine activatesG protein 3 activatesadenylyl cyclase receptor protein in cell membrane cAMP GDP transduction 4 ATP 2 GTP activates protein kinase-A 5 activates GTP activates phosphorylase kinase cytoplasm releasedto blood activates glycogen phosphorylase 7 glycogen glucose 6 liver cell response

  10. Benefits of a 2° messenger system Amplification! 1 signal Activated adenylyl cyclase receptor protein Not yet activated 2 amplification 4 amplification 3 cAMP 5 amplification GTP G protein protein kinase 6 amplification enzyme 7 amplification FAST response! product

  11. Endocrine system • Ductless glands release hormones into blood Duct glands = exocrine (tears, salivary)

  14. Nervous & Endocrine systems linked Hypothalamus = “master nerve control center” nervous system receives information from nerves around body about internal conditions releasing hormones: regulates release of hormones from pituitary Pituitary gland = “master gland” endocrine system secretes broad rangeof “tropic” hormones regulating other glands in body hypothalamus posterior pituitary anterior

  15. tropic hormones hypothalamus thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) antidiuretic hormone (ADH) posterior pituitary Thyroid gland anterior pituitary Kidney tubules adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) oxytocin Muscles of uterus gonadotropic hormones: follicle- stimulating hormone (FSH) & luteinizing hormone (LH) melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) growth hormone (GH) prolactin (PRL) Adrenal cortex Melanocyte in amphibian Mammary glands in mammals Bone and muscle Ovary Testis

How could these hormones have different effects? prolactin gene duplication? mammals milkproduction

  17. Hormones & Homeostasis • Negative feedback • stimulus triggers control mechanism that inhibits further change • body temperature • sugar metabolism • Positive feedback • stimulus triggers control mechanism that amplifies effect • lactation • labor contractions Inhibition Hypothalamus – Releasing hormones (TRH, CRH, GnRH) Inhibition Anterior pituitary – Tropic hormones (TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH) Target glands (thyroid, adrenal cortex, gonads) Hormones

  19. Controlling Body Temperature hypothalamus hypothalamus high low Nervous System Control Feedback nerve signals sweat dilates surfaceblood vessels body temperature (37°C) constricts surfaceblood vessels shiver nerve signals

Regulation of Blood Sugar pancreas high liver low pancreas liver Endocrine System Control Feedback islets of Langerhans beta islet cells insulin body cells takeup sugar from blood liver storesglycogen reducesappetite blood sugar level (90mg/100ml) liver releasesglucose triggershunger islets of Langerhansalpha islet cells glucagon

  23. Regulating metabolism • Hypothalamus • TRH = TSH-releasing hormone • Anterior Pituitary • TSH = thyroid stimulating hormone • Thyroid • produces thyroxine hormones • metabolism & development • bone growth • mental development • metabolic use of energy • blood pressure & heart rate • muscle tone • digestion • reproduction tyrosine + iodine thyroxine

  24. Goiter Iodine deficiency causes thyroid to enlarge as it tries to produce thyroxine

  26. Effects of stress on a body Stress Nerve signals Hypothalamus Spinal cord (cross section) Releasing hormone Nerve cell Anterior pituitary Blood vessel adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine & norepinephrine Nerve cell Adrenal cortex secretes mineralocorticoids & glucocorticoids ACTH Adrenal gland Kidney CORTEX MEDULLA (A) SHORT-TERM STRESS RESPONSE (B) LONG-TERM STRESS RESPONSE Effects of mineralocorticoids: 1. Retention of sodium ions & water by kidneys 2. Increased blood volume & blood pressure Effects of glucocorticoids: 1. Proteins & fats broken down & converted to glucose, leading to increased blood glucose 2. Immune system suppressed Effects of epinephrine and norepinephrine: 1. Glycogen broken down to glucose; increased blood glucose 2. Increased blood pressure 3. Increased breathing rate 4. Increased metabolic rate 5. Change in blood flow patterns, leading to increased alertness & decreased digestive & kidney activity
