What are the differences between the Endocrine System and the Nervous System

Thyroid Gland
- 2 lobes/ ISTHMUS

- Contains Follicles
> follicular cells release T3 and T4
> C-cells produce Calcitonin
Production of T3 and T4
1. Absorb I- in blood
- TSH opens ion channel
2. I- + tyrosine = hormone
3. w/ thyroid peridoxidase hormone > thyroglobulin in colloid
4. edndocytosis
5. Lysosomes break down and recycle A.A.
6. T3 and T4 diffuse into blood
Parathyroid Hormone
- Cheif Cells: parathyroid hormone
- parathyroid hormone + calcitriol regulate calcium

- increase excretion in kidneys
- inhibit osteoclasts
Decreased Levels of Ca2+
