Endocrine System • Primary role is in • Works in concert with the in controlling the body activities. • - chemical messengers that circulate through out the blood stream. • Take longer to reach their destination ( ). • Effects are & . • Regulate continuing process for that must go over for of time.
- are chemical messengers that act only on target cells. • -within the same cell. • -to other cells. - local effect on the same cell type. - effect other cell types without being transport by the blood. & Neurotransmitters-nervous system -secrete into the environment. • Release in small , but extremely . • Their effect is an of target cell (receptors) • Their release is regulated mainly by .
Review Define endocrinology. Define a hormone. How are hormones controlled?
Composition of the Endocrine System The endocrine system is composed of the numerous glands that secrete their products (hormones) into extra cellular space. • - secrete product into ducts & then transported into body cavities or surfaces. • - Secrete their products into extra cellular spaces & then diffuse into the blood stream.

Hormone ActionTwo types of cellular receptors • Hormones act only upon cells to which they selectively bind. • The two major classes of hormones induce changes in cellular activities in two different ways.
1. soluble hormones (Membrane bound receptors) pass through the cell Need a secondary messenger: Cyclic AMP (cAMP) (adenosine monophosphate). Hormone ( ) binds to receptor. Receptor is bound to a enzyme ( ). Adenylate cyclase activates the conversion of to (secondary messenger). cAMP diffuses throughout the cell initiating chemical reactions that result in the activation of . Protein kinases act to effect other .
Change metabolic activities. • Promoting or altering synthesis of proteins. • Alter membrane permeability. • Stimulate the release of hormones & other cellular products. • Epinephrine, norepinephrine, antidiuretic hormone, oxytocin, calcitonin, parathyroid.
Review What must hormones bind to, to cause the target cell alter its activity? Why can’t water soluble hormone pass through the cell membrane?
2. hormones (Intercellular chemical signals) • Mainly . • Dissolve through . • Bind to protein receptors within the cytoplasm. • Hormone-receptor complex then . • Binds to a . • Turns on the of a . • of . • Stimulate/inhibit metabolic activities. • Alter rates of other cellular activities. • Protein products may act as structural proteins. • Aldosterone, cortisol. Testosterone, estrogen, & thyroxin.
Review How come lipid soluble hormones pass through the cell membrane and water soluble hormone can not? Where does lipid soluble hormone bind to its receptor? Which one, water or lipid hormones, are faster to cause the cell to alter its activity?
3. “Local hormones” • Group of chemical that also have regulating effects on cells. • Made of lipids. • Lungs, liver, digestive tract, kidneys, pancreas, brain, reproductive organs. • Stimulate or inhibit the use of cAMP • the effect of hormones that use . • Smooth muscle relaxing (opens airways, reduce blood pressure). • Inhibits HCL secretion in the stomach. • Increases intestinal contractions • Stimulate uterus contraction. • Causes inflammation. • Sleep inducing & antineoplastic activities.
Hormonal Control • The control of hormone secretion rates is provided by chemical signs that relay information about the output levels & in some cases, by nervous control. (blood level chemistry, hormone, nervous system) 1. Feedback Control A. - controls the level of hormones by providing a response in the opposite direction to that stimulus.
B. - Controls secretion by providing a response in the same direction of the stimulus. • Cause extreme changes in conditions in the body. • Oxytocin - stimulate uterine contractions
Review 1. Define a Prostaglandins. 2. How are hormones controlled? 3. What is the difference between a lipid and water soluble (protein) hormone in chemical composition?
The Endocrine Glands Are hormone secreting organs that are widely distributed. 1. Pituitary Gland ( ) a. Tiny pituitary gland produces many hormones, some of which control the activities of other glands. b. Both of its lobes receive their from the . c. Located at the base . d. g (0.02 ounces) e. Attaches to the hypothalamus by a narrow stalk -
-Glandular part ( ) -75% of its entire mass -5 different types of secretory cells that release 7 types of hormones 1. Stimulate bone cells to grow & divide. increase the rate of carbohydrate & Lipids are catabolize. Maintain a constant blood sugar level. 2. Stimulate & maintains milk secretion by the mammary glands. 3. Controls the thyroid gland 4. (adrenocorticotropic hormone) - tropic Controls hormones release by the outer region of the adrenal gland. 5. (melanocyte stimulating hormone)- tropic Stimulates the production of melanin 6. - tropic Females - stimulates the development of the egg - stimulate the ovaries to secrete estrogen Males - Stimulate the production of sperm 7. - tropic Females - Release of the ovum - prepares the uterus for implantation of the fetus Males - Stimulate cells to produce & secrete testosterone
B. -Actually an extension of the hypothalamus -Mainly that support terminal ends of axons -Neurosecretory cells -Stores products produce by the hypothalamus until its time to release them. 1. OT -Stimulate the contraction of smooth muscle. -Stimulate the cells around mammary gland to contract. -Begin uterine contraction 2. Antidiuretic Hormone -Helps the body to conserve water. -Helps to regulate blood pressure by stimulating the contraction of smooth muscles - Vasoconstriction.

4. Adrenal Glands -Two portions -Hormones released by the inner medulla performs similar functions of the sympathetic nervous system - secretions performs many roles including the regulation of fluid balance, glycogen synthesis, & sex characteristics. -A pair of triangular masses that lie on top of each kidney
A. Medulla -Composed of . -Cells originate from the that change during late embryonic stages. -Remain connect to the of the sympathetic nervous system. -Epinephrine & Norepinephrine. - - changes in the body that mimic those produces by the sympathetic nervous system. -Rise in metabolic rate, increased alertness, enlargement of airways - emergency situations. B. Cortex -Composed of . -Aldosterone - steroid hormone that maintain fluid balance. -Cortisol - promote glucose & glycogen synthesis in liver cells. -Androgens - masculinizing effects. -Estrogen - feminizing effects.
