Cells that the secreted hormone effects
Target Cells
Target Cells posses:
Hormone-specific receptors
Hormones that are synthesized from cholesterol:
Steroids
Protein made in the liver that binds to and transports steroids within the blood:
Albumin
Hormones that are made of chain of amino acids
Peptide
Simple hormones that are synthesized from amino acids
Monoamine
Monoamine include:
(tyrosine)
Epinephrine and norepinephrine
7 Major Endocrine Glands
Pituitary
Thyroid
Parathyroid
Adrenal
Pancreas
Gonads
Others
2 types of Pituitary Glands
Anterior Pituitary (AP)
Posterior Pituitary (PP)
The pituitary gland hands from the hypothalamus by way of the:
infundibulum
AP releases:
FSH, LH, GH, and Prolactin
Adrenal Glands (Above Kidneys) Secrete:
Cortisol, Epinephrine, Testosterone, Aldosterone
Pancreas secrets:
Insuin
Gonads Secrete:
testosterone in testis
estrogen and progesterone in ovaries
Other hormones such as skin secrete:
Vit D
Part of Pituitary gland that contains axon endings of neurosecretory cells:
PP
AP secrete special kind of hormones called:
gonadtropins
Gonadrops contain (both in females and males:
FSH and LH
FSH in males
stimulate spermatogenesis
LH in males
stimulate leydig cells to secrete testosterone
FSH in females
stimulates maturation of ovarian follicle
LH in females
induce ovulation
Growth Hormone Include
Growth of Epiphyseal Plates
^ uptake of aa's by most cells of body
^ protein synthesis within cells
^ lipolysis in adipocytes
If there is an increase in amino acids in the blood (digesting a meal)
Stimulates release of GH
if there is a decrease in FA in the blood, GH is released for:
lipolysis
Posterior Pituitary hormones (2)
Oxytocin
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
Oxytocin in males and females:
sexual arousal
Oxytocin effects in females (2)
Parturition
ADH
stimulates myometrium to contract:
Parturition
Conservation of H2O when dehydrated:
ADH
Secretes thyroxine
Thyroid Hormone
Only hormone iodine
Thyroid
Regulates the basal metabolic rate of cells (increase heat production)
Thyroid
Involves oxidation of fuel substrates to make ATP
Thyroid
born with hypOrthyroidism:
Cretinism
Cretinism can lead to:
sluggish baby, lower than normal BMR, Mental Retardation
Hyperthyroidism:
High BMR
nervous disposition
insomnia
weightloss
Calcitoninis secreted by:
Thyroid Gland
Calcitonin acts by:
if hi [Ca+]b secrete CT to increase osteoblasts
form of hyperthyroidim that is developed as an adult:
Myxedema
Enlarged thyroid gland that occurs with people with iodine defficent diets:
Goiter
Secretes PTH when calcium levels fall too low
Parathyroid Hormone
(stimulate osteoclast)
Hyperthyroidism can cause oversecretion of PTH causing:
Osteoporosis
Kidney Stones
Hyporthyroidism can cause undersecretion of PTH causing:
Difficulty contracting skeletal muscles
Difficulty Breathing
Inner part of Adrenal Glands
Adrenal Medulla
Outer Part of Adrenal Gland
Adrenal Cortex
Epinepherine is released by Adrenal Glands when under
Stressors
2 types of Stressors
Physiological
Psychological
Types of Physiological Stressors:
Exercise
Tissue trauma
cold
low glucose
Types of Psychological Stressors:
Fear
Anxiety
Guilt
Action of Epinepherine
Increase
HR
Decrease Blood Flow to:
Skin, Kidney, Dgestive
Epinepherine increase the amount of air that can move and out of lungs
bronchiodilation
Epinepherine to raise blood sugar levels:
Hepatic Glycogenolysis
Cortisol is secreted by:
Adrenal Cortex
Acts to raise blood sugar levels when the are lower than normal
Cortisol
Major Effects of Cortisol
Proteolysis
Stimulate Hepatic Gluconeogenesis
Stimulate Lipolysis
catabolism in skeletal muscle cells:
Proteolysis
conversion of non-carybohydrate like aa's and lactate to glucose
Gluconeogenesis
Clinical use of Cortisol
Decrease inflamation of tissue damage
decrease phagocytosis
effects of aldosterone
Na+ reabsorbtion
H20 reabsorbtion
K+ secretion
oversecretion of cortisol
Cushing Syndrome
Inadequate secretion of Cortisol
Addison's Disease
produces and secretes acid to aid in digestion
Pancrease
produces insuiin
Pancrease
raises blood sugar level
Glucagon
Glucagon stimulates 2 chemicals invovled with glucose homestasis:
Hepatic glycogenolysis (breakdown)
Hepatic Glucoeogenesis (convert aa to glucose)
Hormone that help with digesting nutrients especialy glucose and fats
Insuilin
Disease characterized by elevated blood sugar
Diabetes Mellitus
exessive urination
Polyura
Exessive thirst
Polydipsa
cells that cant take enough glucose
Ketoacidosis
produces melatonin to help maintain ones mood
Pineal Gland
