The Endocrine System Unit 2 Lesson 6
Objectives Explain how glandular system can affect behavior. Distinguish between endocrine and exocrine. Locate major endocrine structures.
Warm Up Although we use behavioral animal studies (like ethology and sociobiology) to explain some human behaviors, what really separates us from lower animal species?
Review: Brain Damage/Disorders Visual Cortex? Cerebral Cortex? Hypothalamus? Auditory Cortex? Cerebellum? Medulla? Concussion? Stroke? Epilepsy? Alzheimers? Meningitis? Tourettes?
Sending Info To & From Brain Nervous System EC signals, neurotransmitters, from neuron to neuron Rapid Short-lived effects Endocrine System Chemicals, hormones, sent thru bloodstream Slow Long-lasting effects
Glandular System- Produce hormones Exocrine System Glands w/ ducts Saliva, sweat, tears exit body through ducts Endocrine System Ductless glands Hormones into bloodstream, travel to receptor sites w/in body
Control Center Hypothalamus In Forebrain Regulates pituitary gland
Major Glands Pituitary Gland In brain “Master gland” Controls output of hormones by other glands Growth hormone Homeostasis Pineal Gland In brain Hormone = melatonin Sleep, SAD
Major Glands Thyroid In neck Hormone = thyroxine Controls rate of metabolism Parathyroid In thyroid Control calcium levels in blood
Major Glands Adrenal Glands One on each kidney Hormone = Adrenaline Oradrenaline Reinforce SNS responses Pancreas Above stomach Hormone = Insulin Regulates blood sugar
Major Glands Gonads In lower abdomen Control reproduction and secondary sex characteristics Male: Testes Testosterone Female: Ovaries Estrogen and progesterone
