PowerPoint ® Lecture Slide Presentation by Patty Bostwick-Taylor, Florence-Darlington Technical College Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings PART A 9 The Endocrine System

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Endocrine System Fact or Myth  Hormones control muscle movements  Hormones control how tall you are  Hormones control when you went through puberty  Hormones control when you get sweaty palms before speaking in front of your class  Hormones control how much you urinate each time you go to the restroom  Hormones control when labor begins for childbirth  Hormones control milk production for breastfeeding  Hormones control the maturation of T cells for immunity

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Endocrine System  Endocrine versus exocrine??  Along with the nervous system, the endocrine system coordinates & directs the activity of the body’s cells.  Nerve impulse by the nervous system produce a quick response, whereas the endocrine system is slow-acting with chemical messengers called (hormones) released into the blood

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Endocrine System & Hormone Function (An Overview)  Organs are widespread, small, unimpressive & lack continuity

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Chemistry of Hormones -hormones - chemical substances that are secreted by endocrine cells into the extracellular fluids & regulate the metabolic activity of other cells in the body - 2 main chemical classifications: 1.amino acid-bases - proteins, peptides & amines 2.steroids - made from cholesterol/sex hormones & adrenal cortex hormones

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Mechanisms of Hormone Action - target cell or organ is the body tissue that a particular hormone will affect - specific protein receptors must be present on target cell’s plasma membrane or interior where a certain hormone can attach/bind - hormone is a Greek word meaning “to arouse” by altering cellular activity

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Control of Hormone Release NNegative feedback mechanisms regulate nearly all hormone blood levels 1. Endocrine Gland Stimuli TThe stimuli that activate endocrine organs are hormonal, humoral, & neural a)Hormonal Stimuli – endocrine glands are kicked into action by hormones b)Humoral Stimuli – where changing blood levels stimulate hormone release. (humor – ancient word to indicate body fluids – blood, bile, etc.)

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Control, (cont.) c) Neural stimuli – nerve fibers stimulate hormone release.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hormonal Stimuli of Endocrine Glands  Most common stimuli  Endocrine glands are activated by other hormones  Examples:  Anterior pituitary hormones

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hormonal Stimuli of Endocrine Glands Figure 9.2a

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Humoral Stimuli of Endocrine Glands  Changing blood levels of certain ions stimulate hormone release  Humoral indicates various body fluids such as blood and bile  Examples:  Parathyroid hormone  Calcitonin  Insulin

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Humoral Stimuli of Endocrine Glands Figure 9.2b

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Neural Stimuli of Endocrine Glands  Nerve impulses stimulate hormone release  Most are under the control of the sympathetic nervous system  Examples include the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine by the adrenal medulla

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 9.2c Neural Stimuli of Endocrine Glands

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Review Questions 1 1.What are the chemical messengers of the endocrine system? 2.What are the two chemical classifications for hormones? 3.What are the specific tissue cells or organs that a hormone affects called? 4.What are the three types of endocrine gland stimuli? **Walking barefoot, you step on a piece of broken glass and immediately pull your foot back. Why is it important that the signal triggering this motion come from the nervous system and not from the endocrine system?

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Major Endocrine Organs  Pituitary gland  Thyroid gland  Parathyroid glands  Adrenal glands  Pineal gland  Thymus gland  Pancreas  Gonads (Ovaries and Testes)  Hypothalamus

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Location of Major Endrocrine Organs Figure 9.3

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings II.The Major Endocrine Organs -the hypothalamus (part of the nervous system) is also a major endocrine organ & produces several hormones that are secreted by the posterior pituitary gland

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Pituitary Gland A.Pituitary Gland - a gland the size of a pea inferior to the hypothalamus - anterior pituitary (glandular tissue) & posterior pituitary (nervous tissue)

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hormones of the Anterior Pituitary Figure 9.4

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings 1.Anterior Pituitary a.Growth Hormone (GH) - target organs – skeletal muscles & long bones - function – growth & determining final body size *HOMEOSTATIC IMBALANCE - hyposecretion of GH in childhood leads to pituitary dwarfism - hypersecretion of GH in childhood results in gigantism - hypersecretion after long bone growth ends results in acromegaly

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hormones of the Anterior Pituitary Gigantism Figure 9.5a

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hormones of the Anterior Pituitary Dwarfism Figure 9.5b

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Facial aspect of a patient with acromegaly. The nose is widened and thickened, the cheekbones are obvious, the forehead bulges, the lips are thick and facial lines are marked. The forehead and overlying skin is thickened, sometimes leading to frontal bossing.  As compared with the hand of a normal person (left), the hand of a patient with acromegaly (right) is enlarged, the fingers are widened, thickened and stubby, and the soft tissue is thickened.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hormones of the Anterior Pituitary b.Prolactin (PRL) - target organ – breasts - function – stimulates & maintains milk production

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hormones of the Anterior Pituitary c.Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) - target organ – adrenal cortex gland (superior to the kidneys) - function - regulates adrenal cortex activity

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Tropic Hormones -Tropic hormones – stimulate their target organs (endocrine glands) to secrete their own hormones -These hormones can be considered the “boss” getting the “employees” to do their job

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hormones of the Anterior Pituitary d.Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)/also called Thyrotropic Hormone (TH) - target organ – thyroid gland - function – influences the growth & activity of thyroid gland

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hormones of the Anterior Pituitary e.Gonadotropic Hormones - target organ - ovaries & testes - function – regulates the hormonal activity of the gonads

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hormones of the Anterior Pituitary 1.Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) - in women, FSH stimulates follicle development in ovaries - as follicles mature, they produce estrogen/eggs  ovulation - in men, FSH stimulates sperm development in testes

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hormones of the Anterior Pituitary 2.Luteinizing Hormone (LH) - in women, LH triggers ovulation (the release of an egg from a follicle) & causes ruptured follicle to produce progesterone - in men, LH stimulates testosterone production in the testes

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hormones of the Anterior Pituitary *HOMEOSTATIC IMBALANCE - hyposecretion of FSH or LH leads to sterility in males & females - fertility drugs stimulates the release of gonadotropic hormones & multiple births can occur

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Review Questions 2 1.What does it mean to be a tropic hormone? 2.What are the target organs & functions of the following anterior pituitary hormones : GH? Prolactin? TSH? Adrenocorticotropic?Gonadotropic – FSH & LH? 3.What can a hypersecretion or hyposecretion of GH cause & is there a difference when the hypersecretion occurs? 4.What would a hyposecretion of the gonadotropic hormones cause in females? In males? ** A women has a “litter” of children. What hormone is involved & is it a hyposecretion or hypersecretion?

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Pituitary–Hypothalamus Relationship  Hormonal release is regulated by releasing and inhibiting hormones produced by the hypothalamus  Hypothalamus produces two hormones  These hormones are transported to neurosecretory cells of the posterior pituitary  Oxytocin  Antidiuretic hormone  The posterior pituitary is not strictly an endocrine gland, but does release hormones

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hormones of the Posterior Pituitary 2.Posterior Pituitary - hormone storage area a. Oxytocin - target organ - uterus & breasts - function – stimulates uterine muscle contractions & causes milk ejection` (the “let down reflex”)

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hormones of the Posterior Pituitary b.Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) - target organ – kidneys - function – causes kidneys to reabsorb more water from forming urine - “diuresis” means urine production so an antidiuretic is a chemical that inhibits/prevents urine production - urine volume decreases & blood volume increases

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hormones of the Posterior Pituitary HOMEOSTATIC IMBALANCE - hyposecretion of ADH leads to diabetes insipidus which is an excessive urine output condition - drinking alcohol inhibits ADH secretion & results in large urine output amounts

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hormones of the Posterior Pituitary Figure 9.6

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Thyroid Gland  Found at the base of the throat, just inferior to the Adam’s apple  Consists of two lobes joined by a central mass/ bowtie  Produces two hormones 1. Thyroxine (T4) or Triiodotyronine (T3)  Iodine based  Target organs – all cells of the body  Function – stimulates metabolism

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Thyroid Gland Figure 9.7a

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings ** Homeostatic Imbalance  Thyroid hormone disorders  Goiters  An enlargement of the thyroid gland due to insufficient iodine  Salt is iodized to prevent goiters  Cretinism  hyposecretion of thyroxine in early childhood results in cretinism which is a type of dwarfism where body proportions remain childlike

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Thyroid Gland Figure 9.8

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings ** Homeostatic Imbalance  Thyroid hormone disorders (continued)  Myxedema  hypothyroidism in adults results in myxedema & causes physical and mental sluggishness as well as obesity  Graves’ disease  hyperthyroidism resulting from a tumor on the thyroid  Results in increased metabolism, heat intolerance, rapid heartbeat, weight loss, and exophthalmos

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Thyroid Gland Figure 9.9

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Thyroid Gland 2. Calcitonin  Target organ – blood  Function – lowers blood calcium levels by causing calcium to be deposited in bones  Antagonistic to parathyroid hormone

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Parathyroid Glands  Tiny masses on the posterior aspect of the thyroid gland/polka dots  Parathyroid hormone (PTH)  Target organs – bones, kidneys, & intestines  Function – raises blood calcium levels by stimulating bone destruction  Cells (osteoclasts) to break down bone & release calcium into the blood
