April 4, 2011 • BR: Review- how are chemical signals in the body transmitted from cell to cell? • Obj: Explain how hormones exert an action on our cells • HW: Study, study, study for unit Exam-chps 40-49
Endocrine System Hormones
Regulation • Why are hormones needed? • chemical messages from one body part to another • communication needed to coordinate whole body • daily homeostasis & regulation of large scale changes • solute levels in blood • glucose, Ca++, salts, etc. • metabolism • growth • development • maturation • reproduction growth hormones
Regulation & Communication • Animals rely on 2 systems for regulation • endocrine system • system of ductless glands • secrete chemical signals directly into blood • chemical travels to target tissue • target cells have receptor proteins • slow, long-lasting response • nervous system • system of neurons • transmits “electrical” signal & release neurotransmitters to target tissue • fast, short-lasting response
Regulation by chemical messengers • Neurotransmitters released by neurons • Hormones release by endocrine glands endocrine gland neurotransmitter axon hormone carried by blood receptor proteins receptor proteins Lock & Keysystem target cell
Learning Check • What are the sources of the body’s chemical signals? • Compare and contrast endocrine signals and nerve signals
Classes of Hormones • Protein-based hormones • polypeptides • small proteins: insulin, ADH • glycoproteins • large proteins + carbohydrate: FSH, LH • amines • modified amino acids: epinephrine, melatonin • Lipid-based hormones • steroids • modified cholesterol: sex hormones, aldosterone insulin
How do hormones act on target cells • Lipid-based hormones • hydrophobic & lipid-soluble • diffuse across cell membrane & enter cells • bind to receptor proteins in cytoplasm & nucleus • bind to DNA as transcription factors • turn on genes • Protein-based hormones • hydrophilic & not lipid soluble • can’t diffuse across cell membrane • bind to receptor proteins in cell membrane • trigger secondary messenger pathway • activate internal cellular response • enzyme action, uptake or secretion of molecules…
Action of lipid (steroid) hormones steroid hormone target cell blood S 1 S cross cell membrane protein carrier S 2 cytoplasm binds to receptor protein becomes transcription factor 5 mRNA read by ribosome S 3 plasma membrane 4 DNA mRNA 6 7 nucleus protein protein secreted ex: secreted protein = growth factor (hair, bone, muscle, gametes)

Learning Check • Explain the components of a negative feedback loop. • Proved an example of a body function that is regulated through a negative feedback loop
Nervous & Endocrine systems linked • Hypothalamus = “master nerve control center” • nervous system • receives information from nerves around body about internal conditions • releasing hormones: regulates release of hormones from pituitary • Pituitary gland = “master gland” • endocrine system • secretes broad rangeof “tropic” hormones regulating other glands in body hypothalamus posterior pituitary anterior

Learning Check • Partner up • Stand up and point to each of the major endocrine glands • Describe what they secrete and the effect of the secretion on the body

Regulating metabolism • Hypothalamus • TRH = TSH-releasing hormone • Anterior Pituitary • TSH = thyroid stimulating hormone • Thyroid • produces thyroxine hormones • metabolism & development • bone growth • mental development • metabolic use of energy • blood pressure & heart rate • muscle tone • digestion • reproduction tyrosine + iodine thyroxines
Goiter Iodine deficiency causes thyroid to enlarge as it tries to produce thyroxine + ✗ tyrosine + iodine ✗ thyroxines

Retention of sodium ions & water by kidneys 2. Increased blood volume & blood pressure Effects of glucocorticoids: 1. Proteins & fats broken down & converted to glucose, leading to increased blood glucose 2. Immune system suppressed Effects of epinephrine and norepinephrine: 1. Glycogen broken down to glucose; increased blood glucose 2. Increased blood pressure 3. Increased breathing rate 4. Increased metabolic rate 5. Change in blood flow patterns, leading to increased alertness & decreased digestive & kidney activity
