Integrates activities of nervous and endocrine systems in 3 ways: Secretes regulatory hormones: special hormones control endocrine cells in pituitary gland Hypothalamus
Acts as an endocrine organ Contains autonomic centers: exert direct neural control over endocrine cells of adrenal medullae Hypothalamus
What hormones are produced by the posterior lobe, and what are their functions?
Posterior Lobe • Also called neurohypophysis • Contains unmyelinated axons of hypothalamic neurons • Supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei manufacture: • antidiuretic hormone (ADH) • oxytocin (OT)
Antidiuretic Hormone • Decreases amount of water lost at kidneys • Elevates blood pressure • Release inhibited by alcohol
Produce Increased ADH Secretion Inc. serum osmolarity Volume contraction Pain Nausea (powerful stimulant) Hypoglycemia Nicotine, opiates, antineoplastic drugs Produce Decreased ADH Secretion Dec. serum osmolarity Ethanol Alpha agonist ANF Regulation of ADH Secretion
