OUTLINE OF ENDOCRINOLOGY Introduction: Definition of Hormone/Functions/Comparison with Nervous System Classification of Hormones based on: True Paracrine Autocrine Site of target cells Major Location Minor Steriodal Chemical composition/mode of action 2 life Degredation Excretion Nonsteriodal What is PG? Autocoids Are they considered hormones? No Nervous Control of hormone secretion Negative feedback Endocrine Glands 1. Hypothalamus 2. Pituitary = Hypophysis 3. Thyroid Gland: T3, T4 4. Parathyroid Gland Anterior Pituitary = Adenohypophysis Posterior Pituitary = Neurohypophysis Middle Lobe = Pars Intermedia Note: parafollicular cells produce calcitonin Zona glomerulosa: Mineralocorticoid Zona fasciculata: Glucocorticoid Zona reticularis: Androgens 80% Epinephrine Medulla: Catecholamine 20% Norepinephrine α: Glucagon β: Insulin Δ: Somatostatin Cortex Adrenal = Suprarenal Gland 6. Pancreas; Islets of Langerhans 7. Reproduction Glands 8. Other e.g. pineal/Thymus Testes Ovaries Placenta.....Considered Minor Endo. Gland 1 of 6 Covered in APII 5.
