Presentation Transcript

  1. Ch 45: Endocrine System

  2. Endocrine System • All of the hormone secreting cells • Endocrine Glands • Secrete hormones • Ductless (secrete into bloodstream) • Signal Transduction Pathway • Most hormones bind to receptor proteins in membrane and cause intracellular response

  3. Chemical Messages (signal-transduction pathways)

  4. Signal Transduction Pathways • Activates a series of molecules within the cell after signal is received • Allow for small amounts of a hormone to have a large effect

  5. Intracellular Hormones • Some hormones will bind to interior receptors and mediate a response • Generally, these act in the nucleus and stimulate a transcription factor (make some enzymes)

  6. Human Endocrine System • Tropic hormones Stimulate other endocrine cells to secrete hormones • Humans have nine endocrine glands

  7. Hypothalamus • Combines the endocrine and nervous systems • Nuerosecretory cells produce hormones • Releasing hormones stimulate the anterior pituitary • Inhibiting hormones prevent the anterior pituitary from secreting hormones

  8. Anterior Pituitary

  9. Posterior Pituitary • Stores and secretes hormones produced by the hypothalamus

  10. Major Hormones

  11. More Hormones

  12. Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) • Promotes retention of water by the kidneys. • Secretion regulated by water/salt balance • Secreted by post. pituitary after production in hypothalamus

  13. Anterior Pituitary Hormones • Growth hormone • Stimulates growth and metabolism • Gigantism: excessive GH during development • Hypopituitary dwarfism: childhood GH deficiency

  14. Anterior Pituitary Hormones • Prolactin • stimulates milk production and secretion • Gonadotropins • Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) • production of sperm and ova • Luteinizing hormone (LH) • stimulates ovaries and testes

  15. Anterior Pituitary Hormones • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) • stimulates thyroid gland • Melanocyte-stimulating hormone • may play a role in fat metabolism • Endorphins • inhibit pain perception • mimicked by heroin and other opiates

  16. Pineal Gland • Near center of the mammalian brain • Secretes melatonin • Involved in biological rhythms associated with reproduction • Secretion regulated by light/dark cycles

  17. Thyroid Gland • Two lobes locatedon the ventral surfaceof the trachea • T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine) hormones stimulate and maintain metabolic activity • Secretion of T3 and T4 regulated by TSH hormone secreted by anterior pituitary

  18. Thyroid Gland

  19. Thyroid Gland • Animation of Thyroid Secretion • Animation of Thyroid Regulation • Goiter Animation

  20. Thyroid Gland • Iodine deficiencies lead to goiter (swelling of thyroid gland (why salt is “iodized”) • Hyper- and Hypothyroidism results from too much or too little T3/T4 • Also secretes calcitonin • Lowers blood calcium levels

  21. Parathyroid Glands • four parathyroid glands embedded in the surface of the thyroid gland • parathyroid hormone (PTH) • Raises blood calcium levels • break down bone • reabsorb by kidney • PTH and calcitonin are antagonistic

  22. Regulation of Calcium Levels

  23. Pancreas • Endocrine (into blood) and exocrine (into ducts) • Exocrine: bicarbonate ions and digestive enzymes • Endocrine: insulin and glucagon • Islets of Langerhans

  24. Insulin • Secreted by beta cells • Lowers blood glucose levels • Stimulates all body cells (except brain cells) to take up glucose • Regulated by glucose in blood (negative feedback).

  25. Diabetes • Low or no insulin production • High blood sugar levels • Sugar in urine • Severe diabetes leads to fat usage in cell. respiration and ultimately death (dec. blood pH due to acidic metabolites) • Type I: Autoimmune disorder, present in childhood, treated with insulin injections • Type II: Target cells less responsive over time to insulin. 90% of cases, usually over 40.

  26. Glucagon • secreted by alpha cells • raises blood glucose levels • liver and skeletal muscle breakdown glycogen stores • regulated by glucose in blood (negative feedback)

  27. Blood Sugar Regulation

  28. Adrenal Glands • Adrenal glands • Adjacent to the kidneys • The adrenal cortexis the outer portion • The adrenal medulla is the inner portion • Epinephrine(adrenaline)andnorepinephrine(noradrenaline) • Secretion regulated by the nervous system in response to stress

  29. Response to Stress (Fight or Flight) • Epinephrineandnorepinephrine • Raises blood glucose level and blood fatty acid level • Increase metabolic activities • Increases heart rate and stroke volume anddilates bronchioles • Shunts blood away from skin, digestive organs, and kidneys, and increases blood flow to heart, brain, and skeletal muscle

  30. Testes (testosterone) • Androgen: type of steroids • sperm formation • promote development and maintenance of male sex characteristics • regulated by FSH and LH

  31. Ovaries • Estrogen and progesterone (steroids) • Estrogens • uterine lining growth • female sex characteristics • Regulated by LH and FSH • Progesterone • Uterine lining growth • Reg. by LH and FSH
