Thyroid Gland
▪ Found at the base of the throat
▪ Consists of two lobes and a connecting
isthmus
▪ Produces two hormones
▪ Thyroid hormone
▪ Calcitonin

Thyroid Hormone
▪ Major metabolic hormone
▪ Composed of two active iodine-containing
hormones
▪ Thyroxine (T4) – secreted by thyroid
follicles
▪ Triiodothyronine (T3) – conversion of T4
at target tissues
![Page 5: The Endocrine System - psd202.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020916/61aedd2ea7b83c70c762dbd9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Calcitonin (Thyroid Gland)
▪ Decreases blood
calcium levels by
causing its
deposition on bone
▪ Antagonistic to
parathyroid hormone
▪ Produced by C
(parafollicular) cells

Parathyroid Glands
▪ Tiny masses on the posterior of the thyroid
▪ Secrete parathyroid hormone
▪ Stimulate osteoclasts to remove calcium
from bone
▪ Stimulate the kidneys and intestine to
absorb more calcium
▪ Raise calcium levels in the blood

Adrenal Glands
▪ Two glands
▪ Cortex – outer glandular region in three
layers
▪ Medulla – inner neural tissue region
▪ Sits on top of the kidneys
![Page 8: The Endocrine System - psd202.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020916/61aedd2ea7b83c70c762dbd9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Hormones of the Adrenal Cortex
▪ Mineralocorticoids (mainly aldosterone)
▪ Produced by outer adrenal cortex
▪ Regulate mineral, water, and electrolytes in blood to keep them in balance
▪ Cause the kidney tubules to reabsorb sodium and water
▪ Production stimulated by the enzyme, renin(which is made by the kidneys) when blood pressure is low, stimulating the production of aldosterone to reabsorb sodium and water in an effort to raise blood pressure

Pancreatic Islets
▪ The pancreas is a mixed gland
▪ The beta cells in the islets of the pancreas
produce hormones
▪ Insulin – allows glucose to cross plasma
membranes into cells from beta cells
▪ Glucagon – allows glucose to enter the
blood from alpha cells
▪ These hormones are antagonists that
maintain blood sugar homeostasis

Developmental Aspects of the Endocrine
System▪ Most endocrine organs operate smoothly until old
age
▪ Menopause is brought about by lack of
efficiency of the ovaries
▪ Problems associated with reduced estrogen are
common
▪ Growth hormone production declines with age
▪ Many endocrine glands decrease output with age
![Page 27: The Endocrine System - psd202.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020916/61aedd2ea7b83c70c762dbd9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Growth Hormone
Hypersecretion- Gigantismlong bones grow abnormally long
during childhood and adolescence
Hyposecretion-Dwarfism• Slow bone growth
• Epiphyseal plates close
before normal height is
reached
• Treatment – Growth
Hormone therapy
![Page 28: The Endocrine System - psd202.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020916/61aedd2ea7b83c70c762dbd9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Hypersecretion of Growth
Hormone
• Happens after normal growth
has stopped
• Bones of hands, feet, cheeks,
and jaw thicken
• Soft tissues grow abnormally
Acromegaly
![Page 29: The Endocrine System - psd202.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020916/61aedd2ea7b83c70c762dbd9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Addison’s Disease
• Hyposecretion of Adrenal Cortex hormones
• Bronze color to skin (hyperpigmentation)
• Symptoms include:• Severe fatigue
•Unintentional weight loss
•Gastrointestinal problems, such
as nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain
•Lightheadedness or fainting
• Salt cravings
•Muscle or joint pains
![Page 30: The Endocrine System - psd202.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020916/61aedd2ea7b83c70c762dbd9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Cushing’s Syndrome
Hypersecretion of Adrenal
Cortex hormones or
administration of homrones•Weight gain
•Obesity
•“Moon face”
•Buffalo hump)
•Stretch marks
•Bruise easily
![Page 31: The Endocrine System - psd202.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020916/61aedd2ea7b83c70c762dbd9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Goiter• Enlarged thyroid gland caused by iodine deficiency
• Iodine Deficiency causes thyroid to make nonfunctional thyroid hormones
• TSH keeps “calling for” more thyroxine
• Thyroid is overstimulated and enlarges, but still doesn’t make functional thyroid hormones
![Page 32: The Endocrine System - psd202.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020916/61aedd2ea7b83c70c762dbd9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Graves DiseaseAutoimmune disorder that causes growth of thyroid and hypersecretion of thyroid hormones, with no negative feedback
• Enlarged thyroid (2-3x larger)
• Bulging eyes
• Increased metabolic rate, heat intolerance, increased sweating, weight loss, insomnia, tremor, and nervousness.
• Treatment
• surgical removal of part of thyroid gland
• radioisotopes to destroy some of the thyroid
• anti-thyroid drugs to block synthesis of the hormones.
![Page 33: The Endocrine System - psd202.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020916/61aedd2ea7b83c70c762dbd9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
CretinismHyposecretion of T3/T4 during fetal life and infancy.
•Dwarfism and mental retardation
•Testing newborns can prevent the disease
•Treatment - oral thyroid therapy.
![Page 34: The Endocrine System - psd202.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020916/61aedd2ea7b83c70c762dbd9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Myxedema
Thyroid hyposecretion during adulthood
•Edema, slow heart rate, low body temp, dry hair and
skin, muscular weakness, lethargy, weight gain
•Treatment - Oral thyroid hormones reduce symptoms
![Page 35: The Endocrine System - psd202.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020916/61aedd2ea7b83c70c762dbd9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Parathyroid Hormone too Low• Hyposecretion of parathyroid hormone results in low calcium levels
• If blood calcium levels fall too low, neurons become extremely irritable and overactive.
• Neurons deliver impulses to muscles so fast that they go into tetany and spasm
• Can lead to death
![Page 36: The Endocrine System - psd202.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020916/61aedd2ea7b83c70c762dbd9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Symptoms : polyuria, polydypsia, polyphagia, acidosis.
• Two types:Type I
• absolute insulin deficiency, with insulin administration.
• Patients < 20 years;
• autoimmune disorder where β-cells are destroyed;
• Hyperglycemia results.
• Cells can't use glucose so fat is broken down, releasing ketone bodies, causing ketoacidosis, lowering blood pH, and causing death.
• Complications include Atherosclerosis, CV disease, IHD, PVD, gangrene, blindness due to cataracts (lens) and retinal vascular disease; renal failure.
• Treatments• artificial pancreas that detects fall in glucose levels and automatically releases
insulin;
• transplant of pancreas or Beta cells.
Diabetes Mellitus
![Page 37: The Endocrine System - psd202.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020916/61aedd2ea7b83c70c762dbd9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Diabetes Mellitus
•Symptoms : polyuria, polydypsia, polyphagia, acidosis.
•Two types:
Type II Diabetes• patients > 40 years, • overweight, • hypertension,• Problem is usually with receptors on target cells; • Controlled by diet, exercise, and weight loss;
![Page 39: The Endocrine System - psd202.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020916/61aedd2ea7b83c70c762dbd9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
ADH Imbalances
