2 Endocrine System 2

3 Points to ponder What is the endocrine system? Compare and contrast exocrine and endocrine glands. What are steroid and peptide hormones? Name the major glands and their functions in the endocrine system. What is diabetes (type 1 and 2) and how might you prevent type 1? How do the endocrine and nervous systems work with the rest of the systems in the body to maintain homeostasis? 3

4 16.1 Endocrine Glands Endocrine system Mostly comprised of glands Secretes hormones that move through the bloodstream to target cells Results in a slow but a prolonged response 4

7 16.1 Endocrine Glands Exocrine vs. endocrine glands Exocrine glands secrete their products into ducts that carry these products to other organs or outside the body. Endocrine glands secrete their products directly into the bloodstream. 7

8 16.1 Endocrine Glands What are hormones? Hormones are chemical signals that promote communication between cells, body parts, and even individuals. 8

9 16.1 Endocrine Glands What are hormones? Hormones Prostaglandins are local hormones that affect neighboring cells and thus are not carried in the bloodstream. Pheromones are chemical signals that influence the behavior of other individuals. 9

10 16.1 Endocrine Glands What are hormones? Peptide hormones bind to a receptor in the plasma membrane causing the formation of camp which activates a cascade of enzymes. Steroid hormones are lipids that enter a cell and affect gene activity and thus protein synthesis. 10

13 16.2 Hypothalamus and pituitary gland Major glands of the endocrine system 1. Hypothalamus 2. Posterior pituitary gland 3. Anterior pituitary gland 4. Thyroid gland 5. Parathyroid glands 6. Adrenal glands 7. Pancreas 8. Testes 9. Ovaries 10.Thymus 11.Pineal gland 13

14 16.2 Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland 1. Hypothalamus Regulates internal environment through the autonomic nervous system Helps control heartbeat Helps control body temperature Helps control water balance Controls glandular secretions 14

15 16.2 Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland 2. Posterior pituitary gland Stores antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and oxytocin that are produced by the hypothalamus ADH regulates water balance by reabsorbing water into the bloodstream. Oxytocin causes uterine contractions during childbirth and allows milk to be released during nursing. 15

16 16.2 Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland 3. Anterior pituitary gland Controlled by hypothalamic-releasing and hypothalamic-inhibiting hormones 16

17 16.2 Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland 3. Anterior pituitary gland Hormones produced by the anterior pituitary 1. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones. 2. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce cortisol. 3. Gonadotropic hormones stimulate gonads to produce sex cells and hormones. 17

18 16.2 Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland 3. Anterior pituitary gland 4. Prolactin (PRL) stimulates mammary glands to develop and produce milk only after childbirth. 5. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) causes skin-color changes in many fishes, amphibians, and reptiles having melanophores, special skin cells that produce color variations. 6. Growth hormone (GH) promotes skeletal and muscular growth. 18

19 16.2 Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland The hypothalamus and pituitary Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. hypothalamus 1.Neurosecretory cells produce hypothalamic-releasing and hypothalamic-inhibiting hormones. 2. These hormones are secreted into a portal system. 1. Neurosecretory cells produce ADH and oxytocin. 2. These hormones move down axons to axon terminals. 3. When appropriate, ADH and oxytocin are secreted from axon terminals into the bloodstream. optic chiasm portal system 3. Each type of hypothalamic hormone either stimulates or inhibits production and secretion of an anterior pituitary hormone. 4. The anterior pituitary secretes its hormones into the bloodstream, which delivers them to specific cells, tissues, and glands.

43 16.5 Pancreas What is diabetes? It is the inability to control blood glucose levels. There are two types: type 1 and type million people in the US have diabetes. 43

44 16.5 Pancreas What is diabetes? General symptoms include frequent urination. unusual hunger and/or thirst. unexplained change in weight. blurred vision. sores that heal slowly or not at all. excessive fatigue. 44

45 16.5 Pancreas What is diabetes? Long-term effects are blindness, loss of limbs, nerve deterioration, kidney, and cardiovascular disease. 45

46 16.5 Pancreas Diabetes: Understanding the 2 types Type 1 It is normally early-onset. Type 1 is an autoimmune disorder that tends to run in families. Pancreatic cells are attacked and cannot produce insulin. Need insulin injections are needed. 46

47 16.5 Pancreas Diabetes: Understanding the 2 types Type 2 Type 2 is normally adult-onset and is the most common type. It tends to occur in obese, sedentary people. Cells do not respond to insulin. Usually diet and exercise are important for controlling this and may even prevent this. 47

53 16.6 Other Endocrine Glands Hormones from other tissues Erythropoietin is secreted by the kidneys to increase red blood cell production. Leptin is produced by fat cells, and acts on the hypothalamus to give a feeling of being satiated. 53

54 16.6 Other Endocrine Glands Hormones from other tissues Prostaglandins Groups of potent chemicals that are not carried in the bloodstream work locally on neighboring cells. Some cause smooth muscle contraction. They have a major impact on reproductive organs. They have many other roles in the body. Aspirin and ibuprofen block the synthesis of these. 54

55 16.7 Hormones and Homeostasis Homeostasis The nervous and endocrine systems are important in maintaining homeostasis. The hypothalamus bridges regulatory functions of both systems. The nervous system is able to respond to changes in the external environment. 55

56 16.7 Hormones and Homeostasis How the nervous and endocrine systems work with other body systems Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. The nervous and endocrine systems work together to maintain homeostasis The systems listed here in particular. also work with these two systems. Nervous and Endocrine Systems The nervous and endocrine systems coordinate the activities of the other systems. The brain receives sensory input and controls the activity of muscles and various glands. The endocrine system secretes hormones that influence the metabolism of cells, the growth and development of body parts, and homeostasis. Urinary System Cardiovascular System Nerves and epinephrine regulate contraction of the heart and constriction/dilation of blood vessels. Hormones regulate blood glucose and ion levels. Growth factors promote blood cell formation. Blood vessels transport hormones to target cells. Respiratory System The respiratory center in the brain regulates the breathing rate. The lungs carry on gas exchange for the benefit of all systems, including the nervous and endocrine systems. Nerves stimulate muscles that permit urination. Hormones (ADH and aldosterone) help kidneys regulate the water-salt balance and the acid-base balance of the blood. Digestive System Nerves stimulate smooth muscle and permit digestive tract movements. Hormones help regulate digestive juices that break down food to nutrients for neurons and glands. Muscular System Nerves stimulate muscles, whose contractions allow us to move out of danger. Androgens promote growth of skeletal muscles. Sensory receptors in muscles and joints send information to the brain. Muscles protect neurons and glands. Figure The nervous system and endocrine system interact to control homeostasis. Reproductive System Nerves stimulate contractions that move gametes in ducts, and uterine contraction that occurs during childbirth. Sex hormones influence the development of the secondary sex characteristics. Integumentary System Nerves activate sweat glands and arrector pili muscles. Sensory receptors in skin send information to the brain about the external environment. Skin protects neurons and glands. Skeletal System Growth hormone and sex hormones regulate the size of the bones; parathyroid hormone and calcitonin regulate their Ca 2+ content and therefore bone strength. Bones protect nerves and glands. 56
