What are endocrine
hormones?
1. Chemical signals from one cell to 33% 33% 33%
remote target cells.
2. Chemicals for direct cell-to-cell
communication.
3. Chemicals that cross a gap
between two adjacent cells.

Four methods of cell-to-cell communication are found in the human
body, ranging from direct to remote communication.
Hormones and Receptors
• Hormones- chemical
messengers travel through
body
• Target cell or organ- organ or
cells that a hormone affects

The endocrine system


Peptide hormones vs
Steroid hormones
Role of the Pituitary
• The pituitary is the “master
gland” that signals other glands to
produce their hormones when
needed.
• The anterior lobe of the pituitary
receives signals from the
hypothalamus, and responds by
sending out the appropriate
hormone to other endocrine
glands.
• The posterior pituitary receives
oxytocin or antidiuretic hormone
(ADH) from the hypothalamus,
relays them to the body as
necessary.
Pituitary Hormones
Pituitary Hormone Functions

Follicle-stimulating hormone Stimulates egg maturation in the ovary and release of sex hormones.

Lutenizing hormone Stimulates maturation of egg and of the corpus luteum surrounding the egg, which
affects female sex hormones and the menstrual cycle.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone Stimulates the thyroid to release thyroxine.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone Causes the adrenal gland to release cortisol.

Melanocyte-stimulating Stimulates synthesis of skin pigments.


hormone

Growth hormone Stimulates growth during infancy and puberty.

Antidiuretic hormone Signals the kidney to conserve more water.

Oxytocin Affects childbirth, lactation, and some behaviors.


Endocrine Hormones
Gland Hormones Functions
Thyroid Thyroxine Regulates metabolism
Calcitonin Inhibits release of calcium from the bones
Parathyroids Parathyroid hormone Stimulates the release of calcium from the bones.
Islet cells (in the Insulin Decreases blood sugar by promoting uptake of glucose by cells.
pancreas)
Glucagon Increases blood sugar by stimulating breakdown of glycogen in the liver.
Testes Testosterone Regulates sperm cell production and secondary sex characteristics.
Ovaries Estrogen Stimulates egg maturation, controls secondary sex characteristics.
Progesterone Prepares the uterus to receive a fertilized egg.
Adrenal cortex Epinephrine Stimulates “fight or flight” response.
Adrenal medulla Glucocorticoids Part of stress response, increase blood glucose levels and decrease immune response.

Aldosterone Regulates sodium content in the blood.


Testosterone (in both sexes) Adult body form (greater muscle mass), libido.

Pineal gland Melatonin Sleep cycles, reproductive cycles in many mammals.


Temperature Control
Blood pressure regulation : Overview
Blood pressure regulation
Blood Calcium Regulation
Blood Sugar Control
Control of Hormone Release
• Negative feedback mechanism-
hormone release is triggered by
stimulus, rising levels of hormone
inhibit further release
• Endocrine stimuli-
• Hormonal- hormones stimulate the
release of others
• Humoral- blood stimulates release of
hormones
• Neural- nerves stimulate hormone
release
Anterior Pituitary Gland

• Growth Hormone (GH)- affects


growth of skeletal muscles and
bones
• Prolactin (PRL)- stimulates milk
production after pregnancy
• Gonadotropic- regulates
hormone activity of sex organs
• Also effects adrenal cortex and
thyroid hormone release
Posterior Pituitary
• Oxytocin- helps during pregnancy
• Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)- inhibits
urine production
• Alcohol inhibits ADH causing increased
output of urine
Thyroid Gland
• Thyroid hormone
• Controls the rate at which
glucose is “burned”
• Calcitonin
• Decreases calcium levels in
blood deposits on bone
Parathyroid Gland
• Parathyroid hormone (PTH)-
regulates Ca2+ in blood
• If Ca2+ level drops bones is
broken down
• Increase the Calcium level
Adrenal Gland
• Adrenal Cortex
• Releases hormones that regulate
mineral content in blood
• Adrenal Medulla
• Produces epinephrine and
norepinephrine
• Helps with stressful situations
Pancreas
• Insulin- increases glucose
uptake into cells and stores in
liver
• Glucagon- stimulates
breakdown of glucose stores
in the liver
Pineal Gland
• Melatonin
• Establishes body’s day/ night cycle
Thymus Gonads
• Thymosin
• “Programs” T cells • Androgens (male)- sperm
formation, development of
male char
• Estrogens (female)-
development of female
char

hormone
controlled?

as growth hormone–
inhibiting hormone (GHIH)

Growth hormone–
releasing hormone (GHRH),
also known as somatoliberin

How are the gonads
controlled? LH

Late follicle development


Testosterone and progesterone synthesis
How are the gonads
controlled? FSH

Early follicle development


Sperm synthesis
Digestive System
Digestive (GI) Tract
Chemical
digestion of
food
Transport of lipid after digestion
Coordination of Secretion &
Absorption

Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP)

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)


Digestion
• Water Absorption
• Cells cannot actively absorb or
secrete water
• All movement of water across
lining of digestive tract
• Involves passive water flow
down osmotic gradients
