Endocrine System
Releases hormones Into bloodstream that are then delivered to cells
Works with the nervous system Nervous system can stimulate or inhibit hormone
release Hormones can promote or inhibit nerve impulses http://www.unitedstreaming.com/search/assetDetail

Two Types of Glands
Exocrine glands – secrete hormones into ductsSweat, digestive, mucous, and oil glands
Endocrine glands – secrete hormones into interstitial fluid Pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and
pineal glands

Functions of Hormones
Regulate body functionMetabolism, energy balance, immune
systemControl growth and developmentGovern operation of reproductive
systems

Hormones
Circulating hormones = pass from the cells that make them into interstitial fluid
Inactivated by liver and excreted by kidneysOnly affects target cellsBinds to particular receptors that are
only found on the specific target cellsLocal hormones = act on neighboring
cells or same cell that made itDo not enter bloodstream

Anterior Pituitary Hormones
1. Human growth hormone (hGH)- cells secrete insulinlike growth factors (IGFs)
1. Cause cells to grow and multiply2. Increase protein synthesis rate Controlled by GHRH and GHIH
2. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)- stimulates thyroid to produce and secrete T3 and T4

hormone (PTH)PTH:
Regulates calcium, magnesium, and phosphate ions in the blood
Increases osteclastsPromotes formation of calcitriol
Blood calcium level regulates PTH secretion

Adrenal Cortex Hormones
1. Mineralocorticoids: control homeostasis of water, sodium ions, and potassium ions
Most influential hormone: aldosterone2. Glucocorticoids: protein breakdown,
glucose formation, lipolysis, resistance to stress, anti-inflammatory effects, and depresssion of immune response
Most popular: cortisol

Glucagon
Increase blood glucose level by:Accelerating conversion of glycogen into
glucosePromoting conversion of amino acids and
lactic acid into glucoseStimulating the release of glucose into the
blood

Insulin
Accelerates diffusion of glucose into body cells
Accelerates conversion of glucose into glycogen and fatty acids
Promotes amino acid uptake into body cells
Slows conversion of glycogen to glucoseSlows glucose formation by liver cells

Pineal Gland
Small glandSecretes melatonin:
Sets body’s biological clockMore melatonin released in darknessLevels are decrease with adulthood
