2 types of Glands
1. Exocrine glands
2. Endocrine Glands
Endocrine glands
Glands that release chemicals directly into the blood.
Endocrine glands secrete their products (hormones) into interstitial fluid the fluid that surrounds tissue cells.
Exocrine glands
Exocrine glands secrete their products into ducts that carry their secretions into a body cavity, into the lumen of an organ, or onto the outer surface of the body. Sweat glands are an example of Exocrine gland.
The endocrine glands include:
Pituitary,
thyroid,
parathyroid,
adrenal,
and Pineal glands.
In addition, several organs and tissues are not exclusively classified as endocrine g. but contain cells that secrete hormones.
Hypothalamus,
thymus,
pancreas,
ovaries,
testes,
kidneys,
stomach,
liver,
small intestine,
skin,
heart,
adipose tissue,
and placenta.
The Pancrease Isa mixed gland because ?
It is both an endocrine and an exocrine gland.
Endocrine vs. Nervous System
1. Endocrine system is slower acting.
2. Hormones are the chemical messengers in the blood.
3. Have " Target- Tissues"
Nervous System
1. Very Fast
2. Electrical Signals
3. Nerves for transport
Differences between Endocrine and Nervous System :
1. Speed
2. Infrastructure
3. Length of response
Basic Functions of Endocrine System:
~Energy: production, use & storage
~Salt and Water metabolism & osmolality
~Growth and Development.
~ Reproduction function.
Characteristics of Endocrine Glands :
~ Ductless - internal secretion
~ Rich Blood Supply
~ Produce Hormones
Strict VS Mixed Glands:
~ Strict Gland : produce ONLY endocrine secretions
~ Mixed Gland : Pancreas is both endocrine and exocrine
Endocrine gland stimulation:
Neural stimulation:
3.Humoural Stimulation:
~Hormone stimulation
TSH - Thyroid Gland.
~SYMPATHETIC OUTPUT~ Adrenal Medulla.
~CA++ - Parathyroid Gland
General Cellular Effects of Hormones:
~Activates or Inhibits Enzyme Systems
~ Directing protein synthesis
~ Altering membrane permeability
~ Stimulate CELL Division
Hormone Chemistry:
~ Amines
~ Peptides- Insulin
~ Steroids- Cholesterol
Hormones Functionally Catogorized:By Lipid Solubility
~ Lipid soluability: Steroid & Thyroid
~Water Soluable: Peptide and most amines
Mechanisms of Transport of Hormones:
~ if water soluable:FREE in solution, in Blood Plasma
~Large Proteins and Glycoproteins.
~ Bound to Large carrier molecules
~Steroids, small peptides, throid hormones
General characteristics of Receptors:
~ Macromolecules
~ Signal Transducers
~extracellular-intracellular signals
~ Hormone-Receptor Binding
~triggers events-specific biological event
~Specificity-Affinity-competion & Saturation
kinetics
Types of Receptors:
*2 Types*
~ Intracellular Receptors
Lipid-soluable hormones
(can go right-thru-cell wall)
~ Hormone is 1st & ONLY
Messenger
Membrane-bound receptors:
~Water-soluable hormones
**** SECOND MESSENGER****
Hypothalamus LINKS Nervous System to the Endocrine System
~ communicates with Pituitary
gland
~Produces neurohormones-released in the POSTERIOR
pituitary
~produces regulator factors-
~Control hormonal release from anterior pituitary gland
Pituitary Gland or Hypophysis:
~ 2 main functional areas:
~Anterior Pituitary-
Adenohypophysis
~Regulation by
the hypothalamus
Anterior Hormones: 6
Posterior Hormones: 2
~Anterior Hormones:
1) Growth Hormone:
~ stimulates protein synthesis & growth
2) Prolactin; in females stimulates milk produxn
3) TSH- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone: Stimulates Thyroid to produce and secrete Throxin
4) ACTH- Adenocorticotropic Hormone:Stimulates Adrenal Cortex to produce glucocoticoids
5) Gonadotropic Hormones:
~ FSH- Follicle stimulating hormone:Females:
Stimulating follicles in the ovaries and their PRODUCTION of ESTROGEN
Males: Stimulates spermatogenisis
6)LH- LUTENIZING Hormone:
Females: stimulates ovulation
Males: Stimulates producyion of TESTOSTERONE
Prolactin:
~ in females stimulates milk production
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
(TSH)
~Stimulates thyroid to: produce & secrete thyroxin
Adenocorticotropic Hormone
(ACTH)
~stimulates Adrenal Cortex to produce glucocorticoids
Anterior pituitary hormone-
Gonadotropic Hormones:
~ Follicle Stimulatiung Hormone ( FSH)
~Females: Stimulating development of follicles in the ovary & their production of estrogen
~ Males: stimulates production of spermatogenisis
Lutenizing Hormone: (LH)
~Females: stimulates
Ovulation
~ Males: stimulates
~ production of
Testosterone
Posterior Pituitary
~ or Neurohyphysis
~Releases ADH and Oxytocin
~ Neurohypophysis- terminal
axonal end of neurosecretory cells.
Oxytocin
~ stimulates LABOR contractions
~ stimulates milk ejection
Hormones Functionally Catogorized:By Lipid Solubility
~ Lipid soluability: Steroid & Thyroid
