Homeostasis
Hypothalamus connects
nervous with
i h endocrine
d i via
i pituitary
i i
Hypothalamic is controlled by
 neural connections
 negative feedback from hormones
QL
Homeostatic Imbalance
 Increases risk of disease
 Causes changes associated with aging
control systems less efficient
most disease seen as a disturbance of
homeostasis (homeostatic imbalance)
aging associated with progressive
decrease in our ability to maintain
homeostasis (greater risk for illness)

Research Milestones
* 1552: Bartholomaeus Eustachius
- Depicted adrenal glands on copper plate
* 1656: Thomas Wharton
- Adrenals took something from the nerves and
secreted it into the circulation
* 1936: Edward Kendall and Tadeus Reichstein
- Isolation and synthesis of cortisone
* 1949: Edward Kendall and Philip Hench
- Effects of cortisone and ACTH on rheumatoid arthritis
* 1950: Nobel Prize to Kendall, Reichstein & Hench
"for their discoveries relating to the hormones of the
adrenal cortex, their structure and biological effects"
