AIM: How does the Endocrine System achieve regulation? DO NOW: Define regulation. HW: Textbook pgs. Pgs621 -627 p. 621 vocab and Q’s 1-4
WHAT IS REGULATION? • COORDINATION & CONTROL OF LIFE ACTIVITIES. • ACHIEVED BY BOTH: ENDOCRINE & NERVOUS SYSTEMS WORKING TOGETHER
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM • CONSIST OF GLANDS • Glands work together to maintain a stable internal balance • Permits animals to repsond to both internal and external change.
ENDOCRINE GLANDS Structures that secrete their hormones directly into the bloodstream rather than through a duct (tube)
Hormones • Are chemical messengers that carries a signal from one cell (or group of cells) to another via the blood • Hormones regulate the function of their target cells.
A hormone receptor is a receptor protein on the surface of a cell or in its interior that binds to a specific hormone
AIM: How do the glands of the Endocrine System maintain homeostasis? Textbook pgs. 621-625 vocab and Q’s 1-4 HW:
DO NOW: A characteristic of hormones and enzymes that allows them to work effectively with other organic molecules is their • specific shape • small size • concentration of carbon and hydrogen atoms • high-energy bonds
Which substances are found on cell surfaces and respond to nerve and hormone signals? • starches and simple sugars • subunits of DNA • vitamins and minerals • receptor molecules
PROCESSES THAT ARE REGULATED BY HORMONAL ACTIVITY 1. OVERALL METABOLISM 2. MAINTENANCE OF HOMEOSTASIS 3. GROWTH 4. REPRODUCTION
E N D O C R I N E G L A N D S
HYPOTHALAMUS • is located just above the brain stem • Controls the pituitary gland • Connection between the nervous and endocrine system
The hypothalamus controls body temperature, hunger, thirst, fatigue and anger
Pituitary GLAND • CALLED THE “MASTER GLAND” • Makes hormones that INFLUENCE other glands • The pituitary gland secretes hormones regulating homeostasis
Hormones produced by the Pituitary Gland • Growth hormone • Prolactin - to stimulate milk production after giving birth • ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) - to stimulate the adrenal glands
4. TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) - to stimulate the thyroid gland 5. FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) - to stimulate the ovaries and testes 6. LH (luteinizing hormone) - to stimulate the ovaries or testes 7. Oxytocin –stimulates the contractions of the uterus during birth
THYROID GLAND • Located between the larynx & the trachea • Controls your metabolism
The thyroid controls how quickly the body burns energy (_________), makes proteins, and controls the bodies sensitivity to other hormones metabolism Hormones Produced: • Thyroxin: regulate metabolism • Calcitonin: regulates calcium levels
PARATHYROIDGLANDS • produces • parathormone PATCHES OF TISSUE EMBEDDED IN THE THYROID GLAND • Regulates CALCIUM • & PHOSPHATE metabolism

ADRENALGLANDS SIT ON TOP OF THE KIDNEYS Hormones Produced: Cortisol and Adrenaline They are chiefly responsible for regulating the stress response http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnESQpvxXd8
Adrenaline • A.K.A. Epinephrine is a "fight or flight" hormone • plays a central role in the short-term stress reaction. * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-qQbIiOtYM
Noradrenaline A.K.A. Norepinephrine • Works with adrenaline (epinephrine) to increases blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar levels and respiration in a high stress situation • Fact: both can act as a hormone and/or neurotransmitter…
Pancreas has both exocrine and endocrine functions • Exocrine -> secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine • Endocrine -> secretes hormones into the bloodstream
The pancreas contains cells called Islets of Langerhans
Hormones Produced CONTROLS CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM a. Insulin • This secretion is controlled by the concentration of GLUCOSE in the blood • DECREASES blood sugar levels
b. Glucagon • Increase blood sugar levels • Promotes the conversion of stored SUGAR (GLYCOGEN) TO GLUCOSE in the liver.
Ovary/Ovaries • An ovary is an egg-producing organ found in female organisms. • found in pairs as part of the female reproductive system. • Ovaries in females are homologous to testes in males.
Hormones Produced: Estrogen & Progesterone • Stimulates: • production of follicles (future egg cells) • onset of secondary sex characteristics (broaden hips & breasts) • Works with Estrogen to REGULATE the female menstrual Cycle
TESTES • Located outside the body cavity in the scrotum • Functions – • Production of sperm cells • Production of male hormone >>>>> Testosterone • Stimulates the male reproductive system onset of secondary sex characteristics • Ex. Deeper Voice & Facial Hair
AIM: How do hormones work? DO NOW: Handout Endocrine system handout (feed back mechanism) HW:
Dynamic equilibrium or homeostasis results from the ability of organisms to detect and respond to stimuli. with the help of FEEDBACK MECHANISMS
Feedback mechanism • A process where the level of one substance or activity of an organ/structure influences another substance or structure in some manner to maintain homeostasis.
Temperature Homeostasis • Humans maintain a relatively constant body temperature of about 37° C. • when we "heat up" we sweat if possible • the evaporation of this perspiration returns the body to its original temperature • When we are too cold we shiver
Homeostasis by Plants Maintenance of Water Guard cells open and close the stomata

Aim: How can the Endocrine System malfunction? Do Now: review book HW: Castle learning (Endocrine system)
Hyposecretion When there is not enough of a particular hormone being secreted creating a deficiency Undersecretion
Hypersecretion A release of an excessive amount of a particular hormone Oversecretion
Acromegaly (ak–ro–MEG–ah–lee): Disorder in adults which the pituitary overproduces growth hormone, resulting in abnormal enlargement of the extremities—nose, jaw, fingers, and toes; in children, the disorder produces gigantism.
Normal Women’s Hand Women’s hands with An Endocrine disorder Called agromegaly.
Gigantism Disorder in children in which the pituitary overproduces growth hormone, resulting in abnormal enlargement of the extremities (nose, jaw, fingers, and toes) and the long bones, causing unusual height. Robert Wadlow 8’ 11”
