Biology and Society: Sluggers and Steroids The 1998 major league home run records reflect another chapter in baseball’s shameful “steroids era.” The abuse of anabolic steroids by athletes increases muscle mass and brings greater power to a batter’s swing. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

HORMONES: AN OVERVIEW Hormones are produced by most plants and animals. Animal hormones –are made and secreted mainly by endocrine glands, –are usually carried by the circulatory system, and –communicate regulatory messages to specific sites in the body. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
5
The endocrine system –consists of all hormone-secreting cells and –is the body’s main system for internal chemical regulation. HORMONES: AN OVERVIEW © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
6
Endocrine cells secrete into the bloodstream hormones that –can affect many cells in many different body organs but –only affect target cells, cells that have receptors for that specific hormone. HORMONES: AN OVERVIEW © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

There are two general mechanisms by which hormones trigger changes in target cells: 1.Water-soluble hormones trigger responses without ever entering their target cells. HORMONES: AN OVERVIEW © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

THE HUMAN ENDOCRINE SYSTEM The human endocrine system consists of about a dozen major glands that may have –only endocrine functions or –endocrine and non-endocrine functions. The major endocrine glands in humans are spread about the human body. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

The Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland The hypothalamus –is part of the brain, –is the main control center of the endocrine system, and –receives information from nerves about –the internal condition of the body and –the external environment. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
17
The pituitary gland –is a pea-sized structure that hangs below the hypothalamus, –responds to signals from the hypothalamus, and –secretes hormones that influence numerous body functions. The Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

19
The pituitary gland consists of two parts: 1.The posterior pituitary –is an extension of the hypothalamus, –stores hormones, and –secretes hormones made in the hypothalamus. The Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
20
2. The anterior pituitary –synthesizes its own hormones, such as FSH and LH, and –secretes hormones directly into the blood. The Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
21
The hypothalamus operates through the posterior pituitary to direct the activities of the kidneys. –The hypothalamus makes antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which is stored and released by the posterior pituitary. –ADH helps kidney cells reabsorb water, preventing dehydration by decreasing urine volume.

23
The anterior lobe of the pituitary also secretes human growth hormone (HGH), which –promotes development and enlargement of all parts of the body and –can lead to –dwarfism, if too little GH is produced, or –gigantism, if too much GH is produced.

Endorphins –are produced by the anterior pituitary and –act as natural painkillers. The Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
26
The Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands The thyroid gland –is located in the neck just under the larynx and –produces the hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine, which increase –oxygen consumption and –metabolic rate in all the cells of your body. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
27
Hypothyroidism –results from too little thyroid hormone in the blood and –can result from –dietary deficiencies of iodine or –a defective thyroid gland. The Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
28
Hyperthyroidism (Graves disease) –results from too much thyroid hormone in the blood and –can lead to –overheating, –profuse sweating, –high blood pressure, and –protruding eyeballs. The Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
29
The parathyroid glands –are four disk-shaped glands embedded within the thyroid and –produce parathyroid hormone, which raises calcium levels in the blood. Calcitonin –is produced by the thyroid gland and –lowers calcium levels in the blood. The Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
30
Calcitonin and parathyroid hormone are antagonistic hormones, because they have opposite effects on calcium levels in the blood. The Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

32
The Pancreas The pancreas produces two antagonistic hormones that play important roles in managing the body’s energy supplies: 1. insulin, which reduces blood sugar levels and 2. glucagon, which increases blood sugar levels. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

34
Diabetes mellitus is a serious hormonal disease in which body cells are unable to absorb glucose from the blood because either –there is not enough insulin produced (type 1, or insulin-dependent diabetes) or –the target cells do not respond normally to insulin (type 2, or non-insulin-dependent diabetes). The Pancreas © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
35
Diabetes affects about 8% of all Americans. More than 90% of those affected have type 2 diabetes, which is associated with being –overweight and –underactive. People with diabetes use glucose meters to measure the amount of glucose in the blood. The Pancreas © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

The Adrenal Glands The adrenal glands are paired structures resting atop each kidney. Each adrenal gland consists of two glands: 1.the central adrenal medulla and 2.the outer adrenal cortex. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
38
The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine, hormones that –enable a rapid, short-term response to stress and –produce the “fight-or-flight” response. The Adrenal Glands © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
39
Stressful stimuli activate nerve cells in the hypothalamus that send signals to stimulate the adrenal medulla to secrete –epinephrine and –norepinephrine. The Adrenal Glands © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
40
The adrenal cortex –is also stimulated by the hypothalamus and –secretes corticosteroid hormones (including glucocorticoids) that provide a slower, longer- lasting response to stress. The Adrenal Glands © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

The Gonads The gonads secrete sex hormones that –affect growth and development and –regulate –reproductive cycles and –sexual behavior. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
43
Males and females have the same three types of sex hormones: 1.estrogens, 2.progestins, and 3.androgens. The Gonads © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
44
Estrogens –maintain the female reproductive system and –promote the development of specific female features, such as breasts and wider hips. Progestins, such as progesterone, are primarily involved in preparing the uterus to support a developing embryo. The Gonads © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
45
Androgens, mainly testosterone, stimulate the development and maintenance of the male reproductive system. The Gonads © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
46
Evolution Connection: Steroids and Male Aggression Testosterone and other androgens –promote the development and maintenance of the human male reproductive system and –play a similar role in all vertebrates.
47
In addition to determining the male sexual condition, in many vertebrates, androgens –are responsible for male vocalizations and –promote aggressive behavior. Evolution Connection: Steroids and Male Aggression © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

49
The different roles for androgens among vertebrates illustrate two central aspects of life resulting from Darwinian evolution: 1.the unity of life (a consistent effect on the development of the male gonads) and 2.the diversity of life (the variety of secondary effects).
