PRE LECTURE QUIZ TRUE/FALSE The endocrine system uses chemical
substances called hormones as a means of regulating and integrating body functions.
All hormones can cross the cell membrane. The hypothalamus controls the release of
pituitary hormones. The pituitary gland has been called the
master gland because its hormones control the function of many target glands and cells.
Glucagon, insulin, and epinephrine receptors are examples of surface (second messenger) receptors.

PRE LECTURE QUIZ Hormones exert their action by binding to high-
affinity _________________ located either on the surface or inside the target cells.
Decreased hormone levels often produce an increase in receptor numbers by means of a process called _________________ ; this increases the sensitivity of the body to existing hormone levels.
The ________________ and pituitary form a unit that exerts control over many functions of several endocrine glands as well as a wide range of other physiologic functions.
Negative _________________ mechanisms regulate the level of many of the hormones in the body.
Hormone secretions acting locally on cells other than those that produced the hormone is known as a ___________________ action.

HORMONES
Hormones make cells react by attaching to receptors on their membranes
A cell will only respond if it has receptors for the hormone Up-regulation: the cell makes more
hormone receptors Down-regulation: the cell makes fewer
hormone receptors Different cells respond differently to
the same hormone

HORMONES (CONT.)
• Hormones can affect cells nearby or far away
• Endocrine – distant• Paracrine – Nearby• Autocrine – Self stimulating

QUESTION
Your patient has low levels of circulating thyroid stimulating hormone. How will the cells of the thyroid gland respond?
a. No responseb. Response will depend upon the levels
of TSH.c. Down-regulationd. Up-regulation
![Page 7: Chapter 31 Organization and Control of the Endocrine System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815d12550346895dcb1581/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
ANSWER
d. Up-regulationRationale: When there is diminished
hormonal activity, cells have the ability to make more hormone receptors and increase the sensitivity of the existing receptors to the hormone. This is called up-regulation.

HORMONES (CONT.)Hormones can be made of: Amino acids
Epinephrine, dopamine, T3, and T4 Proteins (peptide hormones)
Insulin, glucagon, trophic hormones Cholesterol (steroid hormones)
Cortisol, aldosterone, testosterone Fatty acids
Ecosanoids

QUESTION
Tell whether the following statement is true or false.
Steroid hormones are all derived from cholesterol.
![Page 10: Chapter 31 Organization and Control of the Endocrine System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815d12550346895dcb1581/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ANSWER
TrueRationale: The adrenal sex hormones,
glucocorticoids, and mineralocorticoids all arise from cholesterol and have similar chemical structures even though their functions are slightly different.

SCENARIO
A man takes dopamine for paralysis caused by his Parkinson disease.
At first, a small dose of dopamine was all he needed
His symptoms improved significantly right after taking it, but then he froze up again
Now he needs a high dose, and the effects last only a little while
Question: What has happened to his cells and their
receptors? The doctor has decided to try giving him an
MAO inhibitor along with his dopamine. Why?
![Page 12: Chapter 31 Organization and Control of the Endocrine System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815d12550346895dcb1581/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
AFTER HORMONES AFFECT BODY CELLS They may be destroyed by enzymes at
the receptor site Epinephrine, dopamine
They may be taken up by cells and destroyed Peptide hormones
They may be destroyed in the liver and passed out in the bile Steroid hormones T3 and T4

SCENARIO
A man with liver failure has developed:
Hypokalemia Hypotension Hyperglycemia Repeated infectionsQuestion: What hormone imbalances do
you suspect? Why?

HYPOTHALAMUSThe hypothalamus knows the state
of the body: Temperature Blood osmolarity Blood nutrients Blood hormone levels Inflammatory mediators in blood Emotions Pain
![Page 15: Chapter 31 Organization and Control of the Endocrine System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815d12550346895dcb1581/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
THE HYPOTHALAMUS MAKES RELEASING HORMONES
Releasing hormones are sent to the pituitary via the hypophyseal portal system

THE PITUITARY (MASTER GLAND)
CREATES TROPHIC HORMONES
They tell other endocrine organs in the body to grow and secrete their hormones
Hypothalamus makes releasing hormones
Which are sent to the anterior pituitary
The anterior pituitary releases its stored trophic hormones into the systemic circulation

QUESTION
Tell whether the following statement is true or false.
The pituitary gland controls the release of thyroid hormone.

ANSWER
TrueRationale: The pituitary gland (on a cue
from the hypothalamus) tells other organs or glands to produce and secrete or inhibit the appropriate hormones.

Question: What signs and symptoms do you
expect him to have?
