Neurosecretory cell
- Neuron/nerve cell
- Translate neural signal into chemical stimuli
Type of hormonal control pathways
Mechanism of Hormone Actions
mechanisms of actions
steroid
(lipid soluble)
non-steroid
(water soluble)
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 4
Steroid hormones are able to enter the cell
Why?
- Because lipid portion of the PM does not act as a barrier for lipophilic regulators
- Steroid is lipophilic
Steroid hormones
- Cannot dissolve in blood plasma
- Need transport protein
- Always attach to protein carrier
Mechanism of steroid hormones
Flow
BindHRCactivated HRCbind on gene
regiontranscription into mRNAtranslation of mRNA
New protein and enzyme
1. Hormone combine with receptor
protein (at cytoplasm or in
nucleus)
2. Form Hormone receptor complex
(HCR)
3. Activated hormone receptor
complex will bin to specific region
in DNA
4. Results in transcription of gene
region into mRNA
5. Translation mRNA transcript
happen outside the nucleus
6. Results in formation of enzyme
and other protein
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 5
Mechanism of non-steroid hormones
This kind of mechanism is enzyme mediated
• Signaling by any of these molecules(steroid and non-steroid) involves three key events
– Reception
Bind to receptor
– Signal transduction
– Response
Action of enzyme
Reactant to product
The same hormone may have different effects on target cells that have
Different receptors for the hormone
Different signal transduction pathways
Different proteins for carrying out the response
Non-steroid hormone cannot pass
the PM
1. Hormone bind to receptor at
cell’s surface
2. Trigger activation of 2°
messenger, cAMP by cAMP
synthesizing enzyme with the
help of ATP
3. cAMP activate inactive
enzyme
4. enzyme catalysed conversion
of reactant to products

• The hormone epinephrine
– Has multiple effects in mediating the body’s response to short-term stress
• The hypothalamus and pituitary integrate many functions of the vertebrate endocrine
system
• The hypothalamus and the pituitary gland
– Control much of the endocrine system
• Pituitary gland is regulated by:
1. Nervous system
2. Endocrine system
Pituitary gland called as MASTER GLAND
- Because control activity of other glands
Some of these cells in hypothalamus produce direct-acting hormones
- That are stored in and released from the posterior pituitary, or neurohypophysis
Neuroendocrine system
• The two hormones released from the posterior pituitary
– Act directly on nonendocrine tissues
– Oxytocin
o Induces uterine contractions and milk
ejection
– Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
o Enhances water reabsorption in the
kidneys
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 7
• Other hypothalamic cells produce tropic hormones
That are secreted into the blood and transported to the anterior pituitary or adenohypophysis
• The anterior pituitary
– Is a true-endocrine gland
• The tropic hormones of the hypothalamus
– Control release of hormones from the anterior pituitary
• The anterior pituitary
– Produces both tropic and nontropic hormones
– The four strictly tropic hormones are
o Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
o Luteinizing hormone (LH)
o Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
o Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
– Each tropic hormone acts on its target endocrine tissue
o To stimulate release of hormone(s) with direct metabolic or developmental
effects
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 8
– The nontropic hormones produced by the anterior pituitary include
o Prolactin
– Prolactin stimulates lactation in mammals
o But has diverse effects in different vertebrates
Growth hormone (GH)/somatotropin
o Promotes tissue growth directly and has diverse metabolic effects
o Promote protein synthesis
o Stimulates the production of growth factors by other tissues
– Liver to produce insulin-like growth factors(IGFs)
– IGFs promotes tissues and skeletal growth
The pineal gland, located within the brain
o Secretes melatonin
Figure 1: Pineal Gland
• The thyroid gland
– Consists of two lobes located on the ventral surface of the trachea
– Produces two iodine-containing hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)
• Release of melatonin
– Is controlled by light/dark cycles
• The primary functions of melatonin
- Influence and control onset of sexual
maturity and biological clock
- Control circadian rythm (24 hour cycle)
• The thyroid hormones
– Play crucial roles in stimulating
metabolism and influencing
development and maturation
• The thyroid gland also produces calcitonin
– Which functions in calcium
homeostasis
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 9
• Two antagonistic hormones, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin
– Play the major role in calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis in mammals
PTH secrete by parathyroid gland at the surface of thyroid gland
Insulin and Glucagon: Control of Blood Glucose
• Two types of cells in the pancreas
– Secrete insulin and glucagon, antagonistic hormones that help maintain glucose
homeostasis and are found in clusters in the islets of Langerhans
• Glucagon
– Is produced by alpha cells
• Insulin
– Is produced by beta cells
• Calcitonin, secreted by the thyroid
gland
– Stimulates Ca2+ deposition
in the bones and secretion
by the kidneys, thus
lowering blood Ca2+ levels
• PTH, secreted by the parathyroid
glands
– Has the opposite effects on
the bones and kidneys, and
therefore raises Ca2+ levels
– Also has an indirect effect,
stimulating the kidneys to
activate vitamin D, which
promotes intestinal uptake
of Ca2+ from food
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 10
• Type I diabetes mellitus (insulin-dependent diabetes)
– Is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system destroys the beta cells of
the pancreas
• Type II diabetes mellitus (non-insulin-dependent diabetes)
– Is characterized either by a deficiency of insulin or, more commonly, by reduced
responsiveness of target cells due to some change in insulin receptors
Adrenal Glands
• The adrenal glands
– Are adjacent to the kidneys
– Are actually made up of two glands: the adrenal
medulla and the adrenal cortex
• Insulin reduces blood glucose
levels by
– Promoting the cellular
uptake of glucose
– Slowing glycogen
breakdown in the liver
– Promoting fat storage
• Glucagon increases blood glucose
levels by
– Stimulating the
conversion of glycogen to
glucose in the liver
– Stimulating the
breakdown of fat and
protein into glucose
• Diabetes mellitus, perhaps the
best-known endocrine disorder
– Is caused by a deficiency
of insulin or a decreased
response to insulin in
target tissues
– Is marked by elevated
blood glucose levels
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 11
• The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine (a.k.a adrenaline and
noradrenaline)
– Hormones which are members of a class of compounds called catecholamines
• These hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine:
– Are secreted in response to stress-activated impulses from the nervous system
– Mediate various fight-or-flight responses
Fight-Or-Flight Responses
Catecholamine hormones, such as adrenaline or noradrenaline, facilitate immediate physical
reactions associated with a preparation for violent muscular action. These include the
following
1. Acceleration of heart and lung action
2. Paling or flushing, or alternating between both
3. Inhibition of stomach and upper-intestinal action to the point where digestion slows
down or stops
4. General effect on the sphincters of the body
5. Constriction of blood vessels in many parts of the body
6. Liberation of nutrients (particularly fat and glucose) for muscular action
7. Dilation of blood vessels for muscles
8. Inhibition of the lacrimal gland (responsible for tear production) and salivation
9. Dilation of pupil (mydriasis)
10. Relaxation of bladder
11. Inhibition of erection
12. Auditory exclusion (loss of
hearing)
13. Tunnel vision (loss of peripheral
vision)
14. Disinhibition of spinal reflexes
15. Shaking
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 12
• Hormones from the adrenal cortex
– Also function in the body’s response to stress
• Adrenal cortex secrete:
• Glucocorticoids, such as cortisol
– Influence glucose metabolism and the immune system
– Promotes the liver to undergo gluconeogenesis to convert amino acid to
glucose
• Mineralocorticoids, such as aldosterone
– Affect salt and water balance
– Maintain proper balance of sodium and potassium ion in kidney tubules
The gonads—testes and ovaries
– Produce most of the body’s sex hormones:
androgens, estrogens, and progestins
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 13
Androgen: testosterone
– Which stimulate the development and maintenance of the male reproductive
system
– Testosterone causes an increase in muscle and bone mass
– And is often taken as a supplement to cause muscle growth, which carries
many health risks
– Estrogens, the most important of which is estradiol
– Are responsible for the maintenance of the female reproductive system and
the development of female secondary sex characteristics
– In mammals, progestins, which include progesterone
– Are primarily involved in preparing and maintaining the uterus
Molting and Metamorphosis
• In insects
– Molting and development are controlled by three main hormones
- Metamorphosis is a development from egg to adult in which there is a series of distinct stages.
- Molting is a process to shed periodically part or all of a coat or an outer covering, such as feathers, cuticle, or skin, which is then replaced by a new growth.
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 14
Nervous System
- All animals except sponges has nervous system
- What differentiate between animals is how the nervous system is organized
Flatworm has small brain composed of Ganglia
Has 2 parallel nerve cords
These 2 are CNS while the others is PNS
Have neurons arranged in nerve nets Has Radial nerve. Nerve net
connect to nerve ring by radial
nerve (uncentralized)
Leech, insect and flatworm has
bilateral nervous system
Bilateral nervous system has:
1. Cephalization – nervous
system concentrated at head
end
2. Centralization – Has central
nervous system(CNS) and
peripheral nervous
system(PNS). But CNS is
different from PNS.
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 15
• Nervous systems in molluscs
– Correlate with the animals’ lifestyles
• Sessile molluscs have simple systems
– While more complex molluscs have more sophisticated systems
Squid has high degree of
cephalization (many nerve at the
head)
Give intelligence
• In vertebrates
– The central nervous system
consists of a brain and dorsal
spinal cord
- The PNS connects to the CNS
• Nervous systems process information in three stages
– Sensory input, integration, and motor output(motor function)
photo 1: Neural Signaling
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 16
1 Sensory(afferent) neurons transmit information from sensors
a. That detect external stimuli and internal conditions
2 Sensory information is sent to the CNS
a. Where interneurons integrate the information
3 Motor output(motor function) leaves the CNS via motor(efferent) neurons
a. Which communicate with effector cells(muscles, glands) for response
Example:
Knee-Jerk Reflex
Integration takes place in the CNS (brain and spinal cord)
- Brain and spinal cord:
a. Receive sensory information
b. Make decisions from the information obtained
Motor output(motor function) is the stimulation of effectors
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 17
Neurons
- Make up nervous tissue
- Also called nerve cells
What is neurons?
1. Functional units of nervous system
2. Function to receive and send information
3. Information is in form of electrical signals called nerve impulse
Most of a neuron’s organelles are located in the cell body
Types of neurons
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 18
Differences between Sensory neuron and Motor neuron
Sensory neuron Motor neuron
Dendrites shorter Dendrite longer
Cell body located in the middle of axon Cell body located at upper axon
Transmit message from sensory receptors to CNS
Transport message from CNS to effectors
- Interneurons connect neuron to neuron
• Most neurons have dendrites
– Highly branched extensions that receive signals from other neurons
• The axon is typically a much longer extension
– That transmits signals to other cells at synapses
– That may be covered with a myelin sheath
• Glia are supporting cells
– That are essential for the structural integrity of the nervous system and for
the normal functioning of neurons
• Oligodendrocytes (in the CNS) and Schwann cells (in the PNS)
– Are glia that form the myelin sheaths around the axons of many vertebrate
neurons
Glia alson known as Neuroglia
Functions:
1. Supplies nutrients to neurons
2. Remove waste
3. Provide immune function
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 19
Neurons Transmission of Impulse
• Across its plasma membrane, every cell has a voltage
– Called a membrane potential
• The inside of a cell is negative
– Relative to the outside
• The unequal distribution of charge is called as Electrical Gradient
– Electrical gradient is called as potential difference
• The membrane potential of a cell can be measured
• In all neurons, the differences in charge depends on:
1. Ionic concentration
2. Sodium-potassium pump
3. Ion leak channel
Ionic concentration
- Molecules such as carbohydrate, protein and nucleic acid are negative charged
- Cannot pass the PM
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 20
- Called fixed anions
Sodium potassium pump
• The concentration of Na+ is higher in the
extracellular fluid than in the cytosol
– While the opposite is true for K+
• Pumps out three Na+ and pump out two K+
• Help to maintain concentration gradient
Ion leak channels
• Membrane protein that is more numerous for K+ than Na+
• Allows little Na+ to diffuse in
• Allows more K+ to diffuse out
• So more negative ions will remained in the cytoplasm
The resting potential
– Is the membrane potential when a cell at rest
OR
• The resting potential
– Is the membrane potential of a neuron that is not transmitting signals
Voltage: -65mV to -70mV
Why negative: inside cell more negative charge
Treshold potential
When stimulus id applied, voltage rise to point called as treshold potential
- About -50mV
- Only about 2 to 3 seconds
What is treshold potential?
- Membrane potential that must be reached before all membrane channel can open
What membrane channel?
- Sodium ion and potassium ion channels
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 21
Action potential
- Change in membrane potential occuring in nerve, muscleor other excitable tissues when
excitation occurs
o Is a brief all-or-none depolarization of a neuron’s plasma membrane
o Is the type of signal that carries information along axons
• Both voltage-gated Na+ channels and voltage-gated K+ channels
o Are involved in the production of an action potential
• When a stimulus depolarizes the membrane
o Na+ channels open, allowing Na+ to diffuse into the cell
• As the action potential subsides
o K+ channels open, and K+ flows out of the cell
• A refractory period follows the action potential
o During which a second action potential cannot be initiated
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 22
• An action potential can travel long distances
– By regenerating itself along the axon
• At the site where the action potential is generated, usually the axon hillock
– An electrical current depolarizes the neighboring region of the axon membrane
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 23
• The speed of an action potential
– Increases with the diameter of an axon
• In vertebrates, axons are myelinated(has myelin sheath)
– Also causing the speed of an action potential to increase
• Action potentials in myelinated axons
– Jump between the nodes of Ranvier in a process called saltatory conduction
Action potential is all-or-none event. Whether treshold is reach to produce action potential or
treshold is not reached causing no action potential at all.
Neurons Communication
Neurons communicate with other cells at synapses
• In an electrical synapse
– Electrical current flows directly from
one cell to another via a gap junction
• The vast majority of synapses
– Are chemical synapses
• In a chemical synapse, a presynaptic neuron
– Releases chemical
neurotransmitters, which are stored
in the synaptic terminal
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 24
• When an action potential reaches a terminal
– The final result is the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft
• The process of direct synaptic transmission
– Involves the binding of neurotransmitters to ligand-gated ion channels
• Neurotransmitter binding
– Causes the ion channels to open, generating a postsynaptic potential
• After its release, the neurotransmitter
– Diffuses out of the synaptic cleft
– May be taken up by surrounding cells and degraded by enzymes
Summary of the process:
1. Action potential arrived at synaptic cleft will trigger the opening of Ca2+ channel.
2. Ca2+ enter the channel rapidly.
3. The fusion of Ca2+ will act as stimulus for the presynaptic neuron vesicles to fuse within its
own outer membrane(presynaptic membrane).
4. The vesicle content(neurotransmitter) will be released by exocytosis into synaptic cleft.
5. Neurotransmitter will bind to receptor protein on the surface of postsynaptic membrane.
6. The binding will cause ion channel to open and ion diffuse into receiving cell. The diffusion
will trigger new action potential.
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 25
Neurotransmitter
• Acetylcholine
– Is one of the most common neurotransmitters in both vertebrates and invertebrates
– Can be inhibitory or excitatory
• Inhibitory neurotransmitter
- Open channel for another ion such as Cl- .
- No action potential.
- Triggering hyperpolarization.
• Excitatory neurotransmitter
- Open Na+ channel. Thus triggering action potential
- Promotes depolarization
The vertebrate nervous system is regionally
specialized
- In all vertebrates, the nervous system
o Shows a high degree of cephalization and
distinct CNS and PNS components
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 26
CNS consist of Cranial nerve and Spinal nerve
• The cranial nerves originate in the brain
– And terminate mostly in organs of the head and upper body
• The spinal nerves originate in the spinal cord
– And extend to parts of the body below the head
The PNS can be divided into two functional components
Motor division can be divided into The somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system
• The somatic nervous system (allows us to control – voluntary)
– Carries signals to skeletal muscles
• The autonomic nervous system (system control – involuntary)
– Regulates the internal environment, in an involuntary manner
– Is divided into the sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric divisions
• The sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions
– Have antagonistic effects on target organs
PNS
sensory(afferent) pathways
from sensory receptor of all
body to the CNS
motor(efferent) pathways
carry impulse from CNS to effector
Motor pathways
(efferent)
Not in syllabus
M.I/ASASI/2013 Page 27
• The sympathetic division
– Correlates with the “fight-or-flight” response
• The parasympathetic division
– Promotes a return to self-maintenance functions
– Slows body functions, thus conserving energy
• The enteric division
– Controls the activity of the digestive tract, pancreas, and gallbladder
– speeds body functions, thus increasing energy use.
• This two system has opposite effect
- If one is activated, another one is inhibited
Endocrine VS Nervous system
Categories Endocrine system Nervous system
Nature of messages Chemical signals Electrical signals
Speed of message quite slow because it needs to be transported by blood to specific target sites
really fast due to saltatory conduction
Speed of response Slower speed Rapid speed
Duration of effect Longer duration of effect Shorter duration of effect
Accuarcy of message Precise Diffuse
