• Main Function: It releases hormones into the blood to signal other cells to behave in certain ways. It is a slow but widespread form of communication. More free powerpoints at http://www.worldofteaching.com Consists of: Endocrine glands Release hormones into the circulatory system Hormones are chemicals released in one part of the body that travel through the bloodstream and affect the activities of cells in other parts of the body. Pituitary Gland- “the Master Gland” Function: It secretes nine hormones that directly regulate many body functions and controls functions of other glands. Disorders: Too much growth hormones (GH) in early childhood can result in a condition called gigantism. Too little GH can result in Pituitary Dwarfism. Robert Wadlow Thyroid Glandlocated in your neck • Function: plays a major role in regulation the body’s metabolism. • Disorders: If the Thyroid Gland produces to much Thyroxin, it can cause a condition known as Hyperthyroidism. If to little thyroxin produces it is called Hypothyroidism. Pancreas • Function: Hormones Insulin and Glucagon in the Pancreas help to keep the level of glucose in the blood stable. Glucagon tells the liver to convert glycogen to glucose and release it into blood . Insulin tells the liver to store glucose as glycogen. • Disorders: When the Pancreas fails to produce or properly use Insulin, it can cause a condition known as Diabetes Pancreas Adrenal Gland • Functions: -The adrenal glands release Adrenaline in the body that helps prepare for and deal with stress. -Also regulates kidney function. Ovaries • Functions: – Pair of reproductive organs found in women that produce eggs. – Also secrete estrogen and progesterone, which control ovulation and menstruation. Testes • Functions: – Pair of reproductive glands that produces sperm. – Also secrete Testosterone to give the body its masculine characteristics. Interaction of Glands The hypothalamus is located in the brain and controls the release of hormones from the pituitary gland. It is an important link between the endocrine and nervous systems. http://www.biocfarm.unibo.it/aunsnc/images/3D%20Obje cts/Hypothalamus.gif Main Function: This communication system controls and coordinates functions throughout the body and responds to internal and external stimuli. Our nervous system allows us to feel pain. Consists of: brain, spinal cord, nerves and sense organs Sense Organs: Eyes, Skin, Ears, Nose & Tongue A nerve is an organ containing a bundle of nerve cells called neurons. Neurons carry electrical messages called impulses throughout the body. Picture shows hundreds of severed neuron axons Because neurons never touch, chemical signalers called neurotransmitters must travel through the space called synapse between two neurons. Neurotransmitters (pink spheres) Synapse (gap) The message is transferred when RECEPTORS receive neurotransmitters. Parts of a Neuron 1. Cell body: contains nucleus & most of the cytoplasm 2. Dendrites: projections that bring impulses into the neuron to the cell body. 3. Axon: long projection that carries impulses away from cell body 1 2 3 Sensory Neuron Interneuron Synapse Synapse Motor Neuron Interneuron Synapse Motor Neuron Sensory Neuron Muscle Contracts Sensory Neuron carry impulses from sense organs to spinal cord & brain Fun Fact: Where can the largest cells in the world be found? The giraffe’s sensory and motor neurons! Some must bring impulses from the bottom of their legs to their spinal cord several meters away!! Interneuron -processes impulses in brain and spinal cord - connect sensory and motor neurons Motor Neurons carry impulses from the brain & spinal cord to muscles & glands Axon End Axons branching out to muscle fibers A reflex is an involuntary response that is processed in the spinal cord not the brain. Reflexes protect the body before the brain knows what is going on. Reflex Arc dendrite Axon cell body cell body TYPICAL MOTOR NEURON synapse muscle tissue • Nerves work together with muscles for movement. An impulse begins when one neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by the sense organs. • The impulse travels down the axons of Sensory neurons to the brain cells called Interneurons. • The brain will then send an impulse through motor neurons to the necessary muscle or organs, telling it to contract. Consists of: Brain and Spinal Cord Cerebrum brain Cerebellum Medulla Oblongata Spinal Cord Cerebrum Voluntary or conscious activities of the body-learning, judgment Cerebellum Coordinates and balances the actions of the muscles Medulla Oblongata (Brain Stem) Spinal Cord Controls involuntary actions like blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, and swallowing The main communications link between the brain and the rest of the body Consists of: Sensory division and Motor division -includes all sensory neurons, motor neurons, and sense organs Why do we get goosebumps? https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=gT_QE5aMrSE Tallest and shortest man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= -GYYYMEV5DY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= DGa5ONyzU5o Adrenaline YouTube - Woman Lifts Car Off Dad Saving His Life YouTube - Raw Video: Burning Car Lifted Off Trapped Man
