Presentation Transcript

  1. Endocrine

  2. Endocrine Function • Influences growth, metabolism, and homeostasis over prolonged periods • Secretes hormone products into interstitial spaces which are then absorbed into the blood and transported throughout the body • Hormonal control is much slower than nervous control, but the effects of the endocrine system are much longer lasting Key Features of Endocrine Glands • A rich capillary blood supply is necessary for secretion and reception of hormones • Endocrine glands are, by definition, ductless • Organelles required to synthesize specific hormones are in great supply

  3. Hormone Classifications Amino Acid Derivatives • Hormones derived from the amino acid tyrosine • Epinephrine, norepinephrine, and thyroxine Polypeptide Hormones • Hormones with a peptide structure • Insulin, prolactin, NGF, EGF, GH, PTH, TSH, enkephalin, TRH, ADH Steroids • Hormones derived from cholesterol • Testosterone, cortisol, aldosterone, progesterone, estradiol

  4. Pituitary Gland • Controlled by hypothalamus • Infundibulum serves as a communication channel between the hypothalamus and pituitary • The hypothalamohypophyseal neural tract is the passageway for two hypothalamic hormones to the posterior pituitary • The hypothalamohypophyseal portal system carries hypothalamic hormones that regulate secretion from the anterior pituitary • The anterior pituitary secretes hormones that regulate lactation, metabolism, growth, stress response, and reproduction

  5. Pituitary Gland A: Adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary): 1. Pars distalis. 2. Pars intermedia 3. Pars tuberalis B: Neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary): 1. Infundibulum 2. Pars nervosa A B
