Transcript
Endocrine System
 Consists of ductless glands scattered throughout
body
 Glands secrete hormones which travel through
blood to target cells
 Target cells have receptors for binding with specific
hormone
 Regulates or directs particular function
 Two hormone categories based on solubility
 Hydrophilic
 Peptide hormones
 Catecholamines
 Lipophilic
 Steroid hormones
 Thyroid hormone
Endocrine System

Functions of endocrine system-Integrates and regulates activities of organs and
cells
-Maintain homeostasis
-Adaptation to stress
-Promote growth and development
-Regulate reproductive activity

Influenced by
Rate of secretion
Rate of Metabolic Activation or Conversion
Transport
Inactivation
Excretion
Diurnal (Circadian) Rhythm
 Hormone secretion rates fluctuate throughout the
day
 Endocrine rhythms are entrained to external cues
(light-dark cycle)
Hormone Interaction
 Hormone can influence activity of another
hormone at given target cell
 Permissiveness
 One hormone must be present for full exertion of
another hormone’s effect
 Synergism
 Combined effect is greater than the sum of their
separate effects
 Antagonism
 Occurs when one hormone causes loss of another
hormone’s receptors
 Reduces effectiveness of second hormone
Pituitary Gland
 Hypophysis
 Location:
 Thin stalk connects pituitary gland to
hypothalamus
 Consists of two anatomically and
functionally distinct lobes
 Posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis)
 Composed of nervous tissue
 Anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis)
 Consists of glandular epithelial tissue
Posterior
Pituitary
Gland
 Release of hormones is controlled by
hypothalamus
 Does not actually produce any hormones
 Stores and releases two small peptide hormones
Vasopressin (ADH)
 Conserves water during urine formation
 Oxytocin
 Stimulates uterine contraction during
childbirth and milk ejection during breastfeeding

Posterior Pituitary Gland
 A deficiency in the release of vasopressin
(antidiuretic hormone [ADH]) by the
posterior pituitary gland causes
A.Hypoglycemia
B.Dwarfism
C.Diabetes Insipidus
D.None of the above
