1 PowerPoint Lecture Slides prepared by Leslie Hendon University of Alabama, Birmingham C H A P T E R 17 Part 1 The Endocrine System The Endocrine System: An Overview A system of ductless s Secrete messenger molecules called hormones Interacts closely with the nervous system Endocrinology Study of hormones and endocrine s Endocrine Organs Scattered throughout the body Pure endocrine organs are the Pituitary, pineal, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal s Organs containing endocrine cells include: Pancreas, thymus, gonads, and the hypothalamus Plus other organs secrete hormones (eg., kidney, stomach, intestine) is a neuroendocrine organ Produces hormones and has nervous functions Endocrine cells are of epithelial origin Location of the Major Endocrine Glands Pineal Pituitary Thyroid Parathyroid s (on dorsal aspect of thyroid ) Thymus Adrenal s Pancreas Ovary (female) Testis (male) Figure 17.1 Hormones Classes of hormones Amino acid based hormones Steroids derived from cholesterol Basic hormone action Circulate throughout the body in blood vessels Influences only specific tissues those with target cells that have receptor molecules for that hormone A hormone can have different effects on different target cells (depends on the receptor) Control of Hormones Secretion Secretion triggered by three major types of stimuli: Humoral simplest of endocrine control mechanisms Secretion in direct response to changing ion or nutrient levels in the blood Example: Parathyroid monitors calcium Responds to decline by secreting hormone to reverse decline 1

2 Control of Hormones Secretion Secretion triggered by three major types of stimuli (continued) Neural Sympathetic nerve fibers stimulate cells in the adrenal medulla Induces release of epinephrine and norepinephrine Hormonal Stimuli received from other s Certain hormones signal secretion of other hormones Example: secretes hormones stimulates pituitary stimulates other s Types of Endocrine Gland Stimuli (a) Humoral stimulus (b) Neural stimulus (c) Hormonal stimulus 1 Capillary blood contains 1 Preganglionic sympathetic fibers 1 The hypothalamus secretes low concentration of Ca 2+, stimulate adrenal medulla cells hormones that which stimulates CNS (spinal cord) Capillary (low Ca 2+ in blood) 2 stimulate Thyroid (posterior view) the anterior pituitary Parathyroid s to secrete hormones Pituitary that Preganglionic sympathetic fibers Thyroid Adrenal cortex Gonad (Testis) Medulla of adrenal Parathyroid s PTH Capillary 2 secretion of parathyroid hormone 2 to secrete catecholamines (PTH) by parathyroid s. PTH acts to (epinephrine and norepinephrine) increase blood Ca stimulate other endocrine s to secrete hormones Figure 17.2 Control of Hormone Secretion The Pituitary Gland Always controlled by feedback loops Blood concentration declines below a minimum --> More hormone is secreted Blood concentration exceeds maximum --> Hormone production is halted Secretes nine major hormones Attached to the hypothalamus by the infundibulum Two basic divisions of the pituitary Adenohypophysis (anterior lobe) Has three major divisions Pars distalis, pars intermedia, and pars tuberalis Neurohypophysis (posterior lobe) has two major divisions Pars nervosa and infundibular The Pituitary Gland (a) Optic chiasma Median eminence of hypothalamus Anterior lobe Pars tuberalis Pars intermedia Pars distalis (b) Mammillary body Tuber cinereum Posterior lobe Infundibulum Pars nervosa Pituitary (hypophysis) Acidophil Basophil Corpus callosum Thalamus Pineal Mammillary body Brain stem Chromophobe cell The pars distalis largest division of the anterior lobe Contains five different endocrine cell groups Makes and secretes seven different hormones Tropic hormones regulate hormone secretion by other s Include: TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH GH, PRL, and MSH Act directly on non-endocrine target tissues (c) Capillary with red blood cells (d) Spherical cluster of cells Figure

3 Growth hormone, GH (somatotropic hormone) Produced by somatotropic cells Stimulates body growth by stimulating increased protein production and growth of epiphyseal plates Stimulates growth directly and indirectly by the liver s secretion of insulin-like growth factor-1. Thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH Produced by thyrotropic cells Signals thyroid to secrete thyroid hormone Adrenocorticotropic hormone, ACTH Stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete hormones that help cope with stress Melanocyte-stimulating hormone, MSH In humans, MSH functions in appetite supression Gonadotropins are produced by gonadotropic cells and affect the gonads Follicle-stimulating hormone, FSH, and luteinizing hormone, LH Prolactin produced by prolactin cells Targets milk-producing s in the breast stimulates milk production Endocrine cells of the pars distalis Clustered in spheres and branching cords Table 17.1 Table

4 Hypothalamic Control of Hormone Secretion from the Anterior Lobe The hypothalamus Controls secretion of anterior lobe hormones Exerts control by secreting: Releasing hormones prompt anterior lobe to release hormones Inhibiting hormones turn off secretion of anterior lobe hormones Hypothalamic Control of Hormone Secretion from the Anterior Lobe Releasing hormones Are secreted like neurotransmitters Enter a primary capillary plexus Travel in hypophyseal portal veins to a secondary capillary plexus (hypothalamohypophyseal portal system) From the secondary capillary plexus, hormones secreted by the anterior lobe enter general circulation and travel to target organs The Posterior Lobe Hypothalamic neuron 1 When appropriately cell bodies stimulated, hypothalamic Superior hypophyseal neurons secrete releasing and inhibiting hormones into Hypophyseal the primary capillary plexus. portal system Primary capillary 2 Hypothalamic hormones plexus travel through the portal Hypophyseal veins to the anterior pituitary portal veins where they stimulate or Secondary inhibit release of hormones capillary from the anterior lobe. plexus Anterior lobe 3 Anterior pituitary of pituitary hormones are secreted into the secondary capillary TSH, FSH, LH, plexus. ACTH, GH, PRL (a) Relationship between the anterior pituitary and the hypothalamus Figure 17.4a Is structurally part of the brain Its axons make up the hypothalamic hypophyseal tract Arises from neuronal cell bodies in the hypothalamus Supraoptic nucleus Paraventricular nucleus The Posterior Lobe Does not make hormones Stores and releases hormones made in the hypothalamus Releases two peptide hormones Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) [aka, vasopressin] Oxytocin (OT) Relationship Between the Posterior Pituitary and Paraventricular nucleus Supraoptic nucleus Optic chiasma Infundibulum (connecting stalk) Hypothalamichypophyseal tract Axon terminals Posterior lobe of pituitary Inferior hypophyseal Oxytocin ADH 1 Hypothalamic neurons synthesize oxytocin and ADH. 2 Oxytocin and ADH are transported along the hypothalamichypophyseal tract to the posterior lobe. 3 Oxytocin and ADH are stored in axon terminals in the posterior pituitary. 4 Oxytocin and ADH are released into the blood when hypothalamic neurons fire. (b) Relationship between the posterior pituitary and the hypothalamus Figure 17.4b 4

5 The Posterior Lobe ADH (vasopressin) Made in supraoptic nucleus Targets kidneys to reabsorb water Oxytocin Produced in the paraventricular nucleus Induces smooth muscle contraction of reproductive organs, ejects milk during breast feeding, and signals contraction of the uterus during childbirth Table 17.1 The Thyroid Gland Located in the anterior neck Largest pure endocrine Composed of follicles and areolar connective tissue Produces two hormones Thyroid hormone (TH) Calcitonin The Thyroid Gland Hyoid bone Thyroid cartilage Common carotid Inferior thyroid Right subclavian Trachea Aorta Epiglottis External carotid Superior thyroid Isthmus of thyroid Left subclavian Left lateral lobe of thyroid (a) Gross anatomy of the thyroid, anterior view Figure 17.5a The Thyroid Gland Colloid-filled follicles Follicular cells (secrete thyroid hormone) The Parathyroid Glands Lie on the posterior surface of the thyroid Contain two types of endocrine cells Chief cells Produce parathyroid hormone (PTH) Increases blood concentration of Ca 2+ Oxyphil cells Function unknown Parafollicular cell (secretes calcitonin) (b) Photomicrograph of thyroid follicles (160 ) Figure 17.5b 5
