  5. EndocrineSystemGlands: Definition

  6. EndocrineSystemHormones • Body’s chemical messengers • Transfer information and instructions to one set of cell to another • In the bloodstream, affecting genetically programmed cells • Programmed cells recieved and respond to hormones the message

  7. EndocrineSystemGlands • Hypothalamus • PituitaryGland • Thyroid • Parathyroid • Adrenalglands • Pineal Body • Reproductiveglands (testes and ovaries) • Pancreas

  8. EndocrineSystemHypotalamus • Specializedcells in thelower central part of thebrain • Link betweenendocrinesystem and nervoussystem • Pituitarygland control

  9. EndocrineSystemPituitaryGland

  10. EndocrineSystemThyroid Hormones

  11. EndocrineSystemParathyroid HelpCalcitonin (producedbythyroid)

  12. EndocrineSystemAdrenal Glands 2 triangular adrenal glands (top of thekidneys) 2 Parts

  13. EndocrineSystemPineal Body • Pineal body • Located in themiddle of thebrain • Secretes melatonin Regulatesthewake-sleepycycle

  14. Endocrine SystemReproductive Glands Male: Testes • Secrete androgens • PrincipallyTestosterone • Regulates body changes (sexual development) • Enlargement of the penis, growth, changes in the voice, facial and pubic hair. • Works with the pituitary gland • Female • In conjunction produce sperm

  15. EndocrineSystemReproductiveGlands Female: Ovaries • Produceeggs • Secretesestrogen and progesterone • And • Estrogen • Development of female sexual features • Breast growth • Accumulation of body fat • Growth spurt during puberty • Estrogen + Progesterone • Pregnancy and menstrual cycle

  16. EndocrineSystemPancreas Hormones • Insuline • Glucagon • Steady level of glucose

  17. EndocrineSystemDiseases

  18. Endocrine SystemDiseases: Adrenal Insufficiency • Decreased function of the adrenal cortex and underproduction of corticosteroid • Weakness • Fatigue • Abdominal pain • Nausea • Treatment • Replacement of the hormone

  19. Endocrine SystemDiseases: Type 1 Diabetes • Pancreas does not produce enough insulin • Excessive thirst • Hunger • Urination • Weight lost • Treatment • Regular insulin injection

  20. Endocrine SystemDiseases: Type 2 Diabetes • The body does not response to insulin • Overweight principally • Urination • Excessive thirst • Same symptoms as type 2 • Treatment • Dietary changes • Exercise • Oral medication

  21. Endocrine SystemDiseases: Growth Hormone problems • Caused by a pituitary tumor • Too Much Hormone • Gigantism • Small amount of hormone • The child does not grow • Hypoglycemia • Treatment • Remove the tumor

  22. Endocrine SystemDiseases: Hypertyroidism • Caused by excessive levels of thyroid hormone • Weight loss • Nervousness • Tremors • Increased heart rate and blood pressure • Treatment • Medications • Removal or destruction of the thyroid

  23. Endocrine SystemDiseases: Hypotyroidism • Caused by low levels of thyroid hormone • Slow body processes • Produce Fatigue • Slow heart rate • Weight gain • Increased heart rate and blood pressure • Treatment • Thyroid hormone replacement Hashimoto’s Tyroiditis in children

  24. Endocrine SystemDiseases: Precocious puberty • Pituitary stimulate gonads prematurely • Early growth of gonads and other parts • Treatment • Gonadotropins • Arrest the progression of the development
