Endocrine

- directly into bloodstream


-secretes hormones


-ductless


-long term control



exocrine



- directly to target site


-secretes enzymes


-has ducts


-short term control



target areas

where ever the hormone is trying to reach



hormonal effects



direct and indirect effects



hypothalamus

located in forebrain; controls autonomic nervous system, body temperature,sends hungry and thirsty messages, sleep and emotions



Thyroid releasing hormone (TRS)

stimulates secretion of thyroid stimulating hormone




hypothalamus

Growth Hormone releasing Hormone (GHRH)

stimulates secretion of growth hormone




hypothalamus

Prolactin releasing hormone (PRH)

stimulates the release of prolactin




hypothalamus

Corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH)

stimulates the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone




hypothalamus

Gonadotropic releasing hormone

stimulates the release of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone




hypothalamus

Prolactin (PRL)



Stimulates secretion of milk by the mammary glands




pituitary gland

Growth Hormone (GH)



Stimulates tissue and organ growth by promoting cellular growth, mitosis, and cellular differentiation




pituitary gland

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)

stimulates secretion of adrenal cortex hormones




pituitary gland

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH



Stimulates activity of thyroid gland to release hormones




pituitary gland

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)

Stimulates ovarian follicle maturity and spermatogenesis




pituitary gland

Luteinizing hormone (LH)

Stimulates ovulation and corpus luteum formation pituitary gland

Oxytocin (OXY)

Stimulates uterine contractions (muscular) and mil-let-down by mammary glands




pituitary gland

Antidiuretic Hormone /Vasopressin (ADH)

regulates water reabsorption by kidneys and raises blood pressure by constricting arterioles




pituitary gland

Melatonin

produced at night may suppress gonadotropin secretion; seems to be linkage with mood and sleep disorder




Pineal gland



T4 and T3

Increases basal metabolic rate and body heat production




Thyroid Gland

Calcitonin

retains calcium in the bones, lowers blood calcium level




Thyroid Gland

Parathyroid hormone (PTH)

increases release of calcium from bone, raises blood calcium levels




Parathyroid gland



Thymosin

stimulates growth of t-cells (immune system)




Thymus gland



Glucagon

stimulates the conversion of glycogen to glucose in liver to increase blood sugar levels




pancreas

Insulin

promotes glucose uptake and synthesis of glycogen to lower blood sugar levels




pancreas

Somatostatin



inhibits release of GH, insulin, and glucagon




pancreas

Pancreatic Polypeptide

Inhibits Somatostatin, gall bladder secretion, and secretion of digestive enzymes




pancreas

Glucocorticoids

promotes fat and protein catabolism, gluconeogenesis, stress resistance, and tissue repair, inhibits inflammation, made in the zone fasciculate




Adrenal Cortex



Mineralocorticoids

Reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium in kidneys; maintains blood pressure and volume; made in zone glomerulosa




Adrenal Cortex

Gonadocorticoids

Maintians male sexual characteristics; made in the zone reticularis




Adrenal Cortex

Epinephrine (adrenaline)

increases awareness through the sympathetic nervous system




Adrenal Medulla



Norepinephrine (noradrenaline)

returns the body to normal function after secretion of epinephrine through the sympathetic nervous system




adrenal medulla

Estrogen

enhances female sexual characteristics; also establishes primary sexual characteristics for both males and females




ovaries



progesterone



stimulates growth of uterine lining, maintains endometrium when pregnancy occurs (3month term)




ovaries



Inhibin (ovaries)

suppresses FSH secretion by anterior pituitary





testosterone

enhances male sexual characteristics




testes

Inhibin (testes)

controls FHS secretion to stabilize rate of sperm production



GI tract

tube that runs from the mouth to the anus (9 meters long)



primary organs

mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine



accessory organs

teeth, tongue,salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas



layers of the GI tract (in to out)

1. mucosa


2. submucosa(second thinnest layer)


3. muscularis


4. serosa (superficial)



muscularis

skeletal (voluntary) and smooth


(thickest layer)



oral cavity

mouth, accepts food, site of mastication and onset of chemical digestion of starches



pharynx

esophagus

starts where the laryngopharynx ends, muscular tube that carries food to the stomach



Stomach

J shaped muscular enlargement of the GI tract, site of mechanical digestion and food storage

Cardia

surrounds the region that the esophagus enters

Fundus

rounded superior region left of the cardia, storage area



body

inferior to fundus, large central churning chamber, mechanical



rugae

large folds in the muscular layer

Pylorus

Region that connects the stomach to the small intestine



pylorus sphincter

valve that opens into the small intestine



small intestine

organ where most chemical digestion occurs and primary site of nutrient absorption



parts of the small intestine



duodenum


jejunum


iliem


villi



large intestine



organ where water is reabsorbed, vitamin k is produced, and formation and expulsion of waste materials



parts of large intestine



cecum


ascending colon


transverse colon


descending colon


rectum


anal canal

duodenum

begins at pyloric sphincter



jejunum

middle segment



ileum

last segment, extends to the cecum of the large intestine e
