What is the Endocrine System?
• All of an organism’s hormone-secreting cells
• Major regulatory system that consists of various glands (called endocrine glands) throughout the body
• These glands secrete chemicals called hormones, which regulate processes such as mood, growth and development, tissue function, metabolism, and sexual function
![Page 3: Chapter 45: The Endocrine System By: Grace Maxwell and Tegan Ayers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e205503460f94b0b469/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Hormones
• Secreted by the endocrine glands into the extracellular fluid
• Carried by the circulatory system (in blood or hemolymph)
• Communicate regulatory messages within the body
• Regulatory messages travel to target cells to stimulate a response
![Page 4: Chapter 45: The Endocrine System By: Grace Maxwell and Tegan Ayers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e205503460f94b0b469/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Hormones (cont.)
• Only the specific target cells will respond to each secreted hormone Other cells are unaffected
• Create slow, but long-lasting responses Ex. stress, dehydration, low glucose
levels• Regulate long-term development
Ex. reproductive system development
![Page 5: Chapter 45: The Endocrine System By: Grace Maxwell and Tegan Ayers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e205503460f94b0b469/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Hormones (cont.)
• Can be classified as proteins/peptides, amines, and steroids Proteins/Peptides: water-soluble Amines: water-soluble Steroids: not water-soluble
![Page 6: Chapter 45: The Endocrine System By: Grace Maxwell and Tegan Ayers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e205503460f94b0b469/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hormonal Control Pathways
• A receptor protein detects a stimulus and sends information to a control center
• Control center compares incoming signals to a set point (desired value)
• The control center sends out an efferent signal (hormone or neurohormone) which directs an effector to respond Induces specific physiological changes
![Page 7: Chapter 45: The Endocrine System By: Grace Maxwell and Tegan Ayers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e205503460f94b0b469/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Hormonal Control Pathways (cont.)
• 3 simple hormonal control pathways: Simple Endocrine
Pathway Simple
Neurohormone Pathway
Simple Neuroendocrine Pathway
• Most pathways operate on a negative feedback loop
![Page 8: Chapter 45: The Endocrine System By: Grace Maxwell and Tegan Ayers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e205503460f94b0b469/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Inducing a Response: Signal Transduction Pathway
• Reception: Signal molecule binds to receptor
protein in or on a target cell Each signal molecule has a specific
shape that is recognized by the target cell receptors
• Signal Transduction Series of changes in cellular proteins
triggered by the binding of a signal molecule to a target cell receptor protein
![Page 9: Chapter 45: The Endocrine System By: Grace Maxwell and Tegan Ayers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e205503460f94b0b469/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Inducing a Response: Signal Transduction Pathway (cont.)
• Response A change in the cell’s behavior such as
the activation of an enzyme, change in the uptake or secretion of certain molecules, or rearrangement of the cytoskeleton
![Page 10: Chapter 45: The Endocrine System By: Grace Maxwell and Tegan Ayers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e205503460f94b0b469/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Review of Hormonal Signaling• Hormone receptors
can be located either inside or outside the plasma membrane Water-soluble
hormones bind to receptors in the plasma membrane
Lipid-soluble hormones bind to intracellular receptors and stimulate transcription of specific genes
![Page 11: Chapter 45: The Endocrine System By: Grace Maxwell and Tegan Ayers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e205503460f94b0b469/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Paracrine Signaling• Similar to hormonal signaling• Passage of messages between
neighboring cells by local regulators (do not use hormones) Causes a quicker response
• Common local regulators include: Cytokines, growth factors, nitric oxide,
prostaglandins• Major purpose is to help the body
maintain homeostasis

Interdependence Between Body Systems
Hormones help to regulate: normal blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tone, digestion, reproductive functions, etc. Therefore, the Endocrine system helps to regulate nearly all other body systems.
![Page 34: Chapter 45: The Endocrine System By: Grace Maxwell and Tegan Ayers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e205503460f94b0b469/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Interdependence Between Body Systems
Circulatory System When a hormone is secreted, it is carried
through the circulatory system until it reaches the target cell.
Nervous System The hypothalamus receives information from
nerves throughout the body and then produces an endocrine response.
Ex. Nerve signals send information about the change in weather which triggers the release of reproductive hormones in certain organisms.
![Page 35: Chapter 45: The Endocrine System By: Grace Maxwell and Tegan Ayers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e205503460f94b0b469/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Diseases/Disorders - Cretinism
Causes:- Inherited condition of thyroid deficiency
Symptoms:- Slowed skeletal growth, poor mental development- Protruding tongue, choking episodes, constipation and jaundice.
Treatment:- Symptoms can be prevented if treated early in life with the hormone, thyroxine.
![Page 36: Chapter 45: The Endocrine System By: Grace Maxwell and Tegan Ayers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e205503460f94b0b469/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Graves’ Disease
Causes:- The Immune system produces antibodies which mimic Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and causes hyperthyroidism (overproduction of thyroid hormones)- Thought to be triggered by genetics or environmental factors
Symptoms:- Protruding eyes, profuse sweating, weight loss, high blood pressure, development of a goiter, change in menstrual cycle.
![Page 37: Chapter 45: The Endocrine System By: Grace Maxwell and Tegan Ayers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e205503460f94b0b469/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Graves’ Disease Con’t
Treatment:- Stopping the thyroid’s ability to produce hormones- This can be done through taking radioactive iodine which will destroy cells in the thyroid gland.- Beta-blockers can help treat some effects of Graves’ disease
![Page 38: Chapter 45: The Endocrine System By: Grace Maxwell and Tegan Ayers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e205503460f94b0b469/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Diabetes Mellitus
Type I Causes:- The Immune System destroys beta cells in the pancreas which causes an insulin deficiency.- Appears during childhood.
Symptoms: - Dehydration, fatigue, blurry eyesight, weight loss, urinating more often
Treatment:- Insulin injections
![Page 39: Chapter 45: The Endocrine System By: Grace Maxwell and Tegan Ayers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e205503460f94b0b469/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Diabetes Mellitus Type II Causes:
- Reduced responsiveness of target cells due to change in insulin receptors.- Due to lack of exercise and poor diet. Can be hereditary.
Symptoms:- Dehydration, bladder, skin or kidney infections, damage to blood vessels and nerves can cause heart attack or stroke.
Treatment:- Healthy diet and exercise, some require drug therapy.

Themes of AP Bio: Regulation
Negative Feedback Reactions Connect response to initial stimulus Prevents system overreaction and
maintains homeostasis Response reduces initial stimulus
Positive Feedback Reactions Response increases initial stimulus
leading to even greater response
![Page 41: Chapter 45: The Endocrine System By: Grace Maxwell and Tegan Ayers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e205503460f94b0b469/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Science/Technology/Society
Synthetic Hormone Treatments allow people who lack certain hormones to lead a more normal lifestyle Ex. Growth hormone treatments have
allowed hundreds of children with pituitary dwarfism to reach a normal height
Abuses: steroid treatments have been used by athletes to increase muscle size and improve performance
