    The document discusses the endocrine system and its key components. It describes the endocrine glands as glands without ducts that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. The major glands include the pituitary gland, which has an anterior and posterior lobe, the hypothalamus, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal gland, and reproductive organs. The hormones released impact growth, metabolism, fluid balance, mood, fertility, and other bodily functions.

    ENDOCRINE
    SYSTEM

    Hormones
    Chemical secretions
    of the endocrine
    glands.
    Amino acid derivatives: are
    relatively small molecules that
    are structurally similar to amino
    acids.
    Peptide
    hormones:
    are
    chains of amino acids. This is
    the largest group of hormones.

    The endocrine system is a


    chemical control system. It
    functions in conjunction with
    the nervous system to control
    the
    internal
    environment
    (homeostasis).

    Endocrine Glands

    Glands without ducts


    secrete hormones (to excite) into
    the intercellular spaces and they pass
    directly into the blood and are then
    distributed to all parts of the body via
    the circulatory system.

    Steroid
    hormones:
    the
    reproductive organs and the
    cortex of the suprarenal glands
    release steroid hormones.
    Eicosanoids:
    are
    small
    molecules with a five-carbon
    ring at one end and are
    released by most body cells.

    located on the ventral surface, below the


    thalamus and the cerebrum, and above the
    pituitary gland. It contains several important
    centers which control body temperature, thirst,

    Coordinating
    centers
    in
    the
    hypothalamus
    regulate
    the
    activities of the
    nervous
    and
    endocrine
    systems by three
    different

    Pituitary gland
    A. Location

    1. in Sella Turcica of sphenoid bone


    attached to Hypothalamus by a
    stalk called Infundibulum

    B. Structure

    1. Anterior lobe [glandular part] Adenohypophysis


    2. Posterior lobe [neural part]
    Neurohypophysis

    Neurohypophysis
    ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE
    The primary function
    of ADH is to decrease
    the amount of water
    lost at the kidneys.
    ADH also causes the
    constriction
    of
    peripheral
    blood
    vessels, which helps

    OXYTOCIN

    stimulates powerful
    contractions of the
    pregnant uterus at
    the time of delivery
    causes milk ejection
    from the lactating
    breast

    Adenohypophysis
    can be subdivided into three
    regions:


    Growth Hormone (GH) Somatotrophic
    Hormone
    (STH)

    1. Increases Growth and


    Maintenance of Organs
    by:
    . stimulating
    anabolism

    protein

    2.Abnormal Secretions of
    STH

    a. Gigantismhypersecretion
    during
    childhood
    (before
    epiphyseal plates close)
    b.
    Acromegalyhypersecretion
    during
    adulthood

    c. Dwarfism- hyposecretion
    during childhood
    d.
    Cachexia
    (Simmond's
    Disease)- hyposecretion during
    adulthood causes premature
    aging and atrophy of organs

    Prolactin - (Lactogenic
    Hormone)

    1. promotes breast
    development during
    pregnancy
    2. stimulates mammary
    glands to produce milk after
    delivery

    Thyroid
    Stimulating
    Hormone
    (TSH)(Thyrotropin)

    1. promotes growth of the


    Thyroid Gland
    2.stimulates the secretion
    of the Thyroid Hormone

    Adrenocorticotropin(ACTH)

    1.promotes growth of the


    Adrenal Cortex
    2.stimulates the secretion
    of Cortical Hormones
    3.stimulates
    Catabolism

    Fat
    &

    Gonadotropins - FSH and LH

    1. Follicle Stimulating Hormone


    (FSH)
    a. Female
    . stimulates
    the
    Ovarian
    Follicles to Develop and
    produce ova
    . stimulates
    the
    Ovarian
    Follicles to secrete Estrogens
    b. Male
    . stimulates the production of
    sperm

    2.Luteinizing Hormone (LH)


    a. Female
    . associated with FSH in
    development
    of
    the
    Ovarian Follicles
    . stimulates development
    of the Corpus Luteum
    following ovulation
    . stimulates
    Corpus
    Luteum
    to
    secrete
    Progesterone

    b. Male
    stimulates
    the
    Interstitial
    Cells
    to
    secrete
    Testosterone
    (also called Interstitial
    Cell
    Stimulating
    Hormone [ICSH])
