Biology 30 The Endocrine System

Comparison of Nervous System and Endocrine System
Produces neurotransmitters Produces hormones Direct cell to cell communication Hormones travel through blood to their target Fast acting Slow acting Lasts a short while Long lasting

General Things to Know Endocrine = Hormone System
Hormones are chemicals produced in minute amounts All hormones in body together weigh less than 5 ounces.

General Things to Know Control the slow processes in our bodies
Rate of growth Metabolism Development before birth Pregnancy, birth process, lactation Initiation of puberty & sexual maturity Storing & breakdown of food Maintaining water & mineral levels

General Things to Know Hormones are chemical messengers
Produced in a gland Travel through the blood stream Act on a “target” cell. Hormones are created in glands called ENDOCRINE glands (“ductless glands”) Because the glands secrete into the blood stream, not into a body cavity (exocrine).

Types of Hormones Local Hormones Not typical hormones
Act immediately on area near secretion Action is local and rapid Example = histamines Released by tissues when affected by a foreign substance… pollen… Increases blood flow and fluid leaks into tissues Inflammation, redness, swelling

Types of Hormones Circulating Hormones Typical
Produced by endocrine glands Travel through blood To target cell Combine with receptor on or in the target cell Receptor site is either on the membrane or in cytoplasm Initiates a change in the target cell

Chemical Structure of Hormones
We are concerned with 2 types Protein or Peptide Hormones Made up of peptide chains or long proteins Water soluble / lipid insoluble Cannot cross phospholipid bilayer Includes hormones from Hypothalamus Pituitary Pancreas

Chemical Structure of Hormones
Steroid Hormones Chemically related to cholesterol Water insoluble / lipid soluble Can pass right through the cell membrane Includes Sex hormones Thyroxin Hormones from the adrenal cortex

Now that you know what they are…
Let’s find out how and when they are produced and how the system can be shut off when things are fine.

Hormones & Feedback Hormone levels are regulated through a process called negative feedback When the brain detects an inappropriate level of a certain hormone, it will do things to fix the problem. When the problem is solved, the brain stops trying to fix it. Let’s look at an example.

Hormones & Feedback When insufficient levels of thyroxin in body…
the pituitary releases TSH Thyroid then produces Thyroxin Soon thyroxin levels are high enough for pituitary to stop releasing TSH. As a result, thyroxin release stops.
