Endocrine System—General Info• Works WITH the Nervous system • Main function is to produce hormones—
chemical messenger influencing other tissues/organs.
• Differs from NS with regard to speed– NS—body will make rapid adjustments to
changes– ES—uses chemical messengers (hormones) to
affect change. Hormones travel via bloodstream. Generally longer lasting.

Endocrine vs Exocrine glands• Endocrine glands—secrete hormones directly into
the blood– anterior pituitary– thyroid– adrenal
• Exocrine glands—deliver hormones into the blood via tubes leading from the gland– sweat glands – salivary glands– mammary glands

Major body processes regulated by ES
• Reproduction• Growth and development• Maintaining homeostasis of electrolytes,
water and nutrients• Regulation of cellular metabolism

Endocrine System—transport Endocrine System—transport hormones…hormones…
• Hormones travel through the blood and bind to receptor proteins– Steroid hormones (cholesterol derived)
• Are lipid soluble and cross the plasma membrane, bind to receptors inside the cell and affect DNA transcription.
– Animation
– Non-steroid hormones (protein based)• Bind to specific membrane receptors and trigger a
signaling cascade inside the target cell which activates necessary enzymes.

Target cells and controlling the ESTarget cells and controlling the ES
• Hormones travels through the entire body via the blood, but only affect specific target tissues.
• The body primarily uses negative feedback loops to determine when to turn on/shut off hormone production.
• Other ways the body controls the ES is through the nervous system and biorhythms.

• Works like a thermostat in your house to maintain a constant environment of 68oF.

– Turns on the furnace to produce heat if the temperature is too cold and off when the desired temp is reached.
– Turns on AC to cool the house if temp is too high and shuts it off when back to the desired temp..

Mechanism of Release– Steroids
• Lipid soluble - readily enter cells– stimulus leads to biosynthesis– transport in blood assisted by carrier proteins

Mechanism of Release
– Hormones that are NOT steroids or lipids• Water Soluble –
interact with membrane receptors
– synthesized, packaged into vesicles via golgi– vesicles migrate to and collect at release site– activated release, exocytosis to dump contents– typically Ca++ sensitive; regulate Ca++ /

Endocrine System
Removal of hormones•The bulk of hormone is cleared by the liver and kidneys •Only a small fraction is removed by target tissue
– protein and amine hormones bind to receptors and are internalized and degraded
• action and elimination is usually quicker (minutes)
– Steroid and thyroid hormones are degraded after hormone-receptor complex binds to nuclear chromatin
• action and elimination are slower (hours-days)
