Hormones are chemical signals secreted by cells of the endocrine system.
Endocrine cells: cells that secrete hormones
Target cells: cells that have receptors for the hormones

Circulating hormones diffuse into the blood and can activate target cells far from the site of release.
Paracrine hormones: affect only target cells near the site of release.
Autocrine hormones: affect the cells that released the hormones.

Some endocrine cells are single cells (e.g., in the digestive tract.)
Endocrine glands: aggregations of secretory cells. Hormones are secreted to the extracellular space.
Exocrine glands: ducts carry products to the outside of the body.
![Page 6: Hormones are chemical signals secreted by cells of the endocrine system. Endocrine cells: cells that secrete hormones Target cells: cells that have receptors.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051001/5697bfa11a28abf838c959cd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Chemical communication arose early in evolution.
Plants, sponges, protists all use chemical signals.
In arthropods, hormones control molting and metamorphosis.
![Page 7: Hormones are chemical signals secreted by cells of the endocrine system. Endocrine cells: cells that secrete hormones Target cells: cells that have receptors.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051001/5697bfa11a28abf838c959cd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Arthropods: the rigid exoskeleton is shed during molts to allow growth.
Growth stages between molts are called instars.
![Page 8: Hormones are chemical signals secreted by cells of the endocrine system. Endocrine cells: cells that secrete hormones Target cells: cells that have receptors.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051001/5697bfa11a28abf838c959cd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The nervous system and hormonal system are linked.
Nervous system (brain) controls the endocrine gland (prothoracic gland), which produces the ecdysone that orchestrates the physiological response.
![Page 9: Hormones are chemical signals secreted by cells of the endocrine system. Endocrine cells: cells that secrete hormones Target cells: cells that have receptors.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051001/5697bfa11a28abf838c959cd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Juvenile hormone: also released from the brain—prevents maturation to adult form.
Control of development by juvenile hormone important in insects with complete metamorphosis.

Three types of hormones:
Peptides or polypeptides: water-soluble, transported in blood but not across membranes.
Steroid hormones: lipid-soluble; must be bound to carrier proteins to be carried in blood.
Amine hormones: derivatives of tyrosine
![Page 12: Hormones are chemical signals secreted by cells of the endocrine system. Endocrine cells: cells that secrete hormones Target cells: cells that have receptors.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051001/5697bfa11a28abf838c959cd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Hormone receptors:
Lipid soluble hormones: receptors are inside the cell
Water-soluble hormones cannot readily pass cell membrane—receptors are on the outside
![Page 13: Hormones are chemical signals secreted by cells of the endocrine system. Endocrine cells: cells that secrete hormones Target cells: cells that have receptors.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051001/5697bfa11a28abf838c959cd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Receptors are glycoproteins with three domains:
Binding domain: projects outside plasma membrane
Transmembrane domain
Cytoplasmic domain: extends into cytoplasm—initiates target cell response
![Page 14: Hormones are chemical signals secreted by cells of the endocrine system. Endocrine cells: cells that secrete hormones Target cells: cells that have receptors.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051001/5697bfa11a28abf838c959cd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
One hormone can trigger different responses in different types of cells.
Example: epinephrine (amine), fight-or-flight response

The pituitary gland is attached to the hypothalamus of the brain.
Posterior pituitary secretes neurohormones (synthesized by neurons in the hypothalmus):
1. oxytocin (uterine contractions)
2. ADH (water retention)
![Page 19: Hormones are chemical signals secreted by cells of the endocrine system. Endocrine cells: cells that secrete hormones Target cells: cells that have receptors.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051001/5697bfa11a28abf838c959cd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

The anterior pituitary secretes:
Tropic hormones: control other endocrine glands
1. ACTH – adrenal cortex
2. TSH – thyroid gland
3. FSH & LH - gonads Growth hormone: promotes growth (mitosis) Prolactin: breast development and milk
production MSH: melanin production
![Page 21: Hormones are chemical signals secreted by cells of the endocrine system. Endocrine cells: cells that secrete hormones Target cells: cells that have receptors.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051001/5697bfa11a28abf838c959cd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Hormones from the hypothalamus control the anterior pituitary.
The hypothalamus produces releasing hormones—carried to the anterior pituitary by portal blood vessels.
Negative feedback loops control hormone secretion from the anterior pituitary.

The thyroid gland produces thyroxine (T4)
and triiodothyronine (T3)
![Page 25: Hormones are chemical signals secreted by cells of the endocrine system. Endocrine cells: cells that secrete hormones Target cells: cells that have receptors.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051001/5697bfa11a28abf838c959cd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Goiter is an enlarged thyroid gland. It can result from either hyperthyroidism (Grave’s Disease) (thyroxine excess) or hypothyroidism (myxedema) (thyroxine deficiency).

The thyroid gland also produces calcitonin.
Regulation of calcium levels in the blood controlled by calcitonin, parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D.
Calcitonin inhibits osteoclasts: more Ca2+ is put into bone by osteoblasts; levels of Ca2+ in blood decrease.

The parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH).
PTH raises blood calcium levels:
Stimulates osteoclasts Stimulates kidneys to reabsorb
calcium Activates vitamin D, which stimulates
digestive tract to absorb calcium.

Insulin binds to receptors on target cells and allows uptake of glucose.
Lack of insulin: Type I diabetes
Lack of insulin receptors on target cells: Type II diabetes (Diabetes mellitus)

Adrenal cortex produces corticosteroids from cholesterol:
Glucocorticoids: cortisol
Mineralocorticoids: aldosterone
Sex steroids: androgens
![Page 36: Hormones are chemical signals secreted by cells of the endocrine system. Endocrine cells: cells that secrete hormones Target cells: cells that have receptors.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051001/5697bfa11a28abf838c959cd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Aldosterone stimulates kidneys to retain sodium and excrete potassium.
Cortisol: mediates reaction to stress; cells not critical for action decrease use of blood glucose; blocks immune system reactions.
Androgens: testosterone
![Page 38: Hormones are chemical signals secreted by cells of the endocrine system. Endocrine cells: cells that secrete hormones Target cells: cells that have receptors.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051001/5697bfa11a28abf838c959cd/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Gonads produce sex steroids:
Testosterone
Estrogens (estradiol) and progesterone
In development, sex hormones determine whether fetus will become male or female.

Hormones occur in extremely small concentrations.
Immunoassay techniques are used to measure concentration in the blood.
Half-life: time required for one half of the hormone molecules to be depleted.
