Section 1 HormonesChapter 50
Function and Secretion
• Hormones are substances secreted by cells that act to regulate the activity of other cells in the body.
– Hormones affect all cells in the body and are made and secreted by endocrine glands.
• Endocrine glands are ductless organs that secret hormones either into the bloodstream or the fluid around cells.
![Page 4: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Section 1 HormonesChapter 50
Function and Secretion, continued
• The endocrine glands can be found through out the body and are collectively known as the endocrine system.
• Endocrine glands, such as the pancreas, can also be exocrine glands.
– Exocrine glands secrete substances through ducts to specific locations inside and outside the body.

Section 1 HormonesChapter 50
Types of Hormones
• Hormones can be grouped into two types based on their structure. Hormones can either be amino acid-based hormones or steroid hormones.
– Amino acid based-hormones are made of amino acids, either a single modified amino acid or a protein made of 3-200 amino acids, and are water soluble.
– Steroid hormones are lipid hormones that the body makes from cholesterol and are fat soluble.
• Similar to steroid hormones are thyroid hormones.
![Page 8: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Section 1 HormonesChapter 50
Hormone Action
• Regardless of which type of hormone is being activated, all hormones affect only their target cells.
– Target cells are specific cells to which a hormone travels to produce a specific effect.
– On the target cells are receptors. Receptors are proteins that bind to specific signal molecules, such as hormones, that cause a cell to respond.
![Page 9: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Section 1 HormonesChapter 50
Hormone Action, continued
• Amino acid-based hormones
– Amino acid-based hormones bind to receptor proteins on the cell membrane and are called first messengers.
– Second messengers are then activated. A second messenger is a molecule that initiates changes inside a cell in response to the binding of a specific substance to a receptor on the outside of a cell.
• Changes to the cell through enzyme action then occur in a cascade fashion.
![Page 10: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Section 1 HormonesChapter 50
Hormone Action, continued
• Steroid and Thyroid Hormones
– Steroid and thyroid hormones are similar because they are both fat soluble.
– Because these hormones are fat soluble they can pass through the cell membrane.
– Thus, these hormones can enter their target cells and bind directly to receptor sites in the cytoplasm or nucleus and directly activate enzymes.
![Page 13: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Section 1 HormonesChapter 50
Other Types of Hormones
• Two other types of chemical messengers that are classified as hormones are neuropeptides and prostaglandins.
– Neuropeptides are hormones secreted by the nervous system and tend to affect many cells near the nerve cells that release them.
– Prostaglandins are modified fatty acids that are secreted by most cells and tend to accumulate in areas where tissues are disturbed or injured.

Section 2 Endocrine GlandsChapter 50
Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland
• Two organs, the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, control the initial release of many hormones for the endocrine system.
– The hypothalamus is the area of the brain that coordinates many activities of the nervous and endocrine systems.
![Page 19: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Section 2 Endocrine GlandsChapter 50
Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland, continued
• The hypothalamus responds to information it receives from the body by issuing instructions, as hormones, to the pituitary gland.
• The pituitary gland has two parts, anterior and posterior, and stores and releases hormones produced by the hypothalamus.
![Page 20: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Section 2 Endocrine GlandsChapter 50
Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland, continued
• The nerve cells in the hypothalamus that secrete hormones are called neurosecretory cells.
– These cells secrete two types of hormones to the pituitary gland.
• Releasing hormones stimulate the anterior pituitary to make and secrete hormones.
• Release-inhibiting hormones inhibit production and secretion of anterior-pituitary hormones.
![Page 21: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Thyroid Gland
• The thyroid gland is located near the larynx and helps maintain a normal heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature by increasing or decreasing cellular metabolic rates.
• The thyroid gland is also important for development.

Thyroid Gland, continued
• Abnormal thyroid activity can result in hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
• Overproduction of thyroid hormones is called hyperthyroidism and can have symptoms that vary from overactivity to high body temperature.
• A deficiency in a thyroid hormone is known as hypothyroidism and can have symptoms that vary from weight gain to retardation.

Section 2 Endocrine GlandsChapter 50
Adrenal Glands
• Humans have an adrenal gland located above each kidney. Each adrenal gland has an inner core, the medulla, and an outer core, also called the cortex.
• The medulla and the cortex function as separate endocrine glands.
– The medulla is controlled by the nervous system, and the cortex is controlled by the anterior pituitary.
![Page 30: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Section 2 Endocrine GlandsChapter 50
Adrenal Glands, continued
• Adrenal Medulla
– The adrenal medulla secretes the hormones that stimulate a “flight-or-fight” response to a stress.
– In this response, the hormones epinephrine, also called adrenaline, and norepinephrine are released.
• These hormones increases heart rate, blood pressure, blood glucose levels, and blood flow into the heart and lungs so the body can respond to the initial stress.
![Page 31: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Section 2 Endocrine GlandsChapter 50
Adrenal Glands, continued
• Adrenal Cortex
– In the presence of some stresses the pituitary gland will secrete the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
– This hormone stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce the hormone cortisol.
• Cortisol promotes the production of glucose from proteins to help cells make usable energy.
![Page 32: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Gonads
• Gonads are the gamete-producing organs that also produce a group of steroid sex hormones.
– Gonads, ovaries in females and the testes in males, are regulated by sex hormones, which begin production at puberty.
• Puberty is the adolescent stage during which the sex organs mature and secondary sex characteristics appear.
![Page 35: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Section 2 Endocrine GlandsChapter 50
Gonads, continued
• The production of sex hormones is stimulated by the release of two hormones by the pituitary.
– The first hormone is luteinizing hormone (LH). This hormone stimulates ovulation and the release of progesterone in females and the release of androgens, such as testosterone, in males.
– The second hormone is follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This hormone stimulates the growth and maturation of the ovarian follicles in females and sperm production in males.
![Page 36: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Section 2 Endocrine GlandsChapter 50
Pancreas
• The pancreas contains both exocrine and endocrine cells. The endocrine cells are called islets of Langerhans.
• These cells secrete hormones that regulate the level of sugar in the blood. The hormone insulin is one of the hormones produced.
– Insulin lowers the blood sugar level by stimulating body cells to store glucose or use it for energy.
![Page 38: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Pancreas, continued
• A condition called diabetes mellitus occurs when cells are unable to obtain glucose from the blood. This results in a high glucose level in the blood
• There are two types of diabetes: Type I and Type II.
– Type I occurs when immune cells attack and destroy the islet of Langerhans cells.
– Type II occurs when cells don’t have sufficient insulin levels or when the organism’s cells have become less responsive.
![Page 40: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Section 2 Endocrine GlandsChapter 50
Pancreas, continued
• A condition called hypoglycemia occurs when excessive insulin is stored and not properly delivered to body cells.
• This leads to a lowered blood glucose concentration, which can cause such symptoms as overactivity and dizziness.

Section 2 Endocrine GlandsChapter 50
Other Endocrine Glands
• There are several other glands in the endocrine system, including thymus gland, the pineal gland and the parathyroid glands.
• Thymus Gland
– The thymus gland is located beneath the sternum and plays a role in the development of the immune system by secreting thymosin.
• This amino acid-based hormone stimulates formation of T cells.
![Page 42: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

• Digestive Cells
– Some of the digestive organs also act as endocrine cells by secreting a variety of hormones that control digestive processes. Two hormones that are secreted are gastrin and secretin.
• Gastrin is released by the stomach when food is eaten.
• Secretin is released by the small intestine and helps stimulates the release of various digestive fluids from the pancreas.
![Page 47: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Section 2 Endocrine GlandsChapter 50
Feedback Mechanisms
• The endocrine system plays an important role in the maintenance of a stable internal environment, or homeostasis.
• Maintenance of homeostasis is controlled by feedback mechanisms. A feedback mechanism is one in which the last step in a series of events controls the first.
• Feedback mechanisms can be either negative or positive.
![Page 48: Endocrine System Chapter 50 Table of Contents Section 1 Hormones Section 2 Endocrine Glands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e675503460f94b629c4/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Section 2 Endocrine GlandsChapter 50
Feedback Mechanisms, continued
• Negative Feedback
– When the final step in a series of events inhibits the initial signal in the series it is called negative feedback.
– An example of negative feedback is the regulation of thyroid hormones.
