Definition: Hormones:
EndocrineSystem
Functions: Secretions:
A control system of glands and single cells that secrete chemical messengers called hormones into the blood stream.
body energy levels
reproduction
growth and development
internal balance of body systems, called homeostasis
responses to surroundings, stress and injury
Endocrine – secrete into the internal environment
ex: testosterone -paracrine – affect only neighboring cells -autocrine – affect only the secreting cellExocrine – secrete outside the body
ex: sweat
Steroids – estrogen, testosterone, cortisolAmines – epinephrine, norepinephrinePeptides – antidiuretic, oxytocinProteins – human growth hormoneGlycoprotiens – lutenizing hormone

Introduction A. The endocrine system is made up of the cells, tissues, and organs that secrete hormones into body fluids.B. The body has two kinds of glands,
exocrine (secretes products into ducts) and endocrine (secrete products into body fluids to affect target cells).

General Characteristics of the Endocrine System
A. The endocrine system’s function is to communicate with cells using
chemicals called hormones.B. Endocrine glands and their hormones
regulate a number of metabolic processes within cells, and the whole body.

C. Steroid Hormones 1. Steroid hormones are lipid-
soluble and can pass through cell membranes.
2. Receptors for steroid hormones are located in the target cell's nucleus.
3. The hormone-receptor complex binds with the DNA and activates specific genes that, in turn, direct the synthesis of specific proteins.

D. Nonsteroid Hormones 1. Nonsteroid hormones
combine with receptors in target cell membranes; the receptors have a binding site and an activity site.
2. The hormone-receptor complex (as first messenger) triggers a cascade of biological activity.

3. The hormone-receptor complex generally activates a G protein, which then activates the enzyme adenylate cyclase that is bound to
the inner cell membrane.

E. Prostaglandins 1. Prostaglandins are locally
produced lipids that affect the organ in which they are produced.
2. Prostaglandins produce a variety of effects: some relax smooth muscle, others contract smooth muscle, some stimulate secretion of other
hormones, and others influence blood pressure and inflammation.

Control of Hormonal SecretionsA. Hormone levels are very precisely
regulated. B. Control Mechanisms
1. Release of tropic hormones from the hypothalamus controls secretions of the anterior pituitary.
2. The nervous system influences certain endocrine glands directly.
3. Other glands respond directly to changes in the internal fluid composition.

regulates or which regulates it.

3. When the concentration of the regulated substance reaches a certain level (high or low), it inhibits the gland from secreting more hormone until the concentration
returns to normal.

increases blood calcium ion concentration and decreases
phosphate ion concentration.2. PTH stimulates bone
resorption by osteoclasts, which releases calcium into the blood.

C. Hormones of the Adrenal Medulla
1. The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and
norepinephrine into the blood stream.
2. The effects of these hormones resemble those of the
sympathetic division neurotransmitters of the same name, except that they last up
to 10 times longer when they are secreted as hormones.
