Endocrine System
2
13.1: Introduction
• The endocrine system assists the nervous system with communication and control
of the body
• The cells, tissues, and organs are called endocrine glands
• They are ductless
• They use the bloodstream
• They secrete hormones
• There are also similar glands called paracrine and autocrine glands that are
quasi-endocrine
• Other glands that secrete substances are the exocrine glands
• They have ducts
• They deliver their products directly to a specific site

13.2: General Characteristics of
the Endocrine System
• The endocrine and nervous systems communicate using chemical signals
• Neurons release neurotransmitters into a synapse affecting postsynaptic cells
• Endocrine glands release hormones into the bloodstream to specific target
cell receptors

Chemistry of Hormones
• Chemically, hormones are either:
• Steroid or steroid-like hormones such as:
• Sex hormones
• Adrenal cortex hormones
• Non-steroid hormones such as:
• Amines
• Proteins
• Peptides
• Glycoproteins

Prostaglandins
• Prostaglandins:
• Are paracrine substances
• Are very potent in small amounts
• Are not stored in cells but synthesized just before release
• Rapidly inactivate
• Regulate cellular responses to hormones
• Can activate or inhibit adenylate cyclase
• Controls cAMP production
• Alters a cells response to hormones
• Has a wide variety of effects
16
13.4: Control of
Hormonal Secretions
• Primarily controlled by negative feedback mechanism
• Hormones can be short-lived or may last for days
• Hormone secretions are precisely regulated

Posterior Pituitary Hormones
• Structurally consists of nerve fibers and neuroglia v. glandular epithelial cells of the
anterior pituitary gland
• The nerve fibers originate in the hypothalamus
• Two hormones are produced:
• Antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin)
• Oxytocin
26
27
13.6: Thyroid Gland

13.7: Parathyroid Glands
• The parathyroid glands are on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland
• There are typically four parathyroid glands
• It secretes one hormone:
• PTH (parathyroid hormone or parathormone)

13.8: Adrenal Glands
• The adrenal glands are closely associated with the kidneys
• The gland sits like a cap on each kidney
• Hormones are secreted from two different areas of the gland, the adrenal cortex
and the adrenal medulla
• Numerous hormones are secreted by the adrenal glands

13.9: Pancreas
• The pancreas has two major types of secretory tissue
• This is why it is a dual functioning organ as both an exocrine gland and
endocrine gland
• Three hormones are secreted from the islet cells:
• Alpha cells secrete glucagon
• Beta cells insulin
• Delta cells secrete somatostatin

13.10: Other Endocrine Glands
Pineal Gland
• Secretes melatonin
• Regulates circadian rhythms
Thymus Gland
• Secretes thymosins
• Promotes development of certain lymphocytes
• Important in role of immunity
Reproductive Organs
• Ovaries produce estrogens and progesterone
• Testes produce testosterone
• Placenta produces estrogens, progesterone, and gonadotropin
Other organs: digestive glands, heart, and kidney
48
13.11: Stress and Its Effects
• Survival depends on maintaining homeostasis
• Factors that change the internal environment are potentially life-threatening
• Sensing such dangers directs nerve impulses to the hypothalamus
• This can trigger a loss of homeostasis
49
Types of Stress
• Two types of stress:
• Physical stress
• Psychological stress

•
Endocrine glands decrease in size
Muscular strength decreases as GH levels decrease
ADH levels increase due to slower break down in liver and kidneys
Calcitonin levels decrease; increase risk of osteoporosis
PTH level changes contribute to risk of osteoporosis
Insulin resistance may develop
Changes in melatonin secretion affect the body clock
Thymosin production declines increasing risk of infections
