How are hormones transported How are hormones transported in the body?in the body?
What is an endocrine gland? Endocrine: secretes fluid into blood Exocrine: secrete fluid into a duct (ex:
sweat)
For your hormone……
HOW DOES IT WORK? WHAT DOES IT DO?
– Suggestion conversation topics:• WHAT GLAND SECRETES (PRODUCES) IT?• WHAT DOES IT CONTROL?• WHAT DOES IT TARGET?• WHAT EFFECT DOES IT HAVE?• WHAT TRIGGERS ITS RELEASE?
ENDOCRINE GLANDS
1. PITUITARY GLAND
a. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) Tropic hormone (controls another gland)
Growth & activity of thyroid gland specifically controlling metabolism rate
What is a tropic hormone?
a. A synthetic (“man-made”) hormone
b. A hormone that triggers another endocrine gland to secrete its hormones
c. Hormones that affect the gonads
d. Hormones of the thyroid gland
b. Oxytocin- causes contractions
c. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) Diuresis = urine production causes kidneys to reabsorb
water from the forming urine stimulus? caffeine inhibits ADH
secretion
Which of the following is NOT a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland?a. Oxytocin
b. ADH
c. Thyroid-stimulating hormone
d. Insulin
Summary of the pituitary
Pituitary gland – considered the “master” gland
We covered 3 of the 7 hormones it produces
2. PANCREAS
a. Insulin – regulates blood glucose levels.
– Respond to rising blood glucose levels– Hyposecretion high blood glucose
levels …. Diabetes mellitus1. Polyuria
2. Polydipsia
3. polyphagia
b. Glucagon• regulates blood glucose levels • responds to low blood glucose levels.• Target: liver
3. GONADSA) OVARIES
1. Estrogens –
• stimulate secondary sex characteristics in females• brings about menstrual cycle
2. Progesterone- • brings about menstrual cycle. • Quiets muscles of uterus during pregnancy
Hyposecretion of either: infertility
What does hyposecretion mean?
a. Produces too much
b. Produces too little
c. Secretes to a tropic hormone
d. Is not controlled by a negative feedback mechanism
b) Testes1. Androgens
EX: testosterone– cause growth and maturation of reproductive system;secondary sex characteristics; sperm production in adult
Hyposecretion = infertility
testes
4. PLACENTA (Temporary organ)
1. human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) – stimulates ovary to continue producing estrogen and progesterone
Aging and the endocrine glands
Late middle age: efficiency of ovaries begins to decline menopause
GH declines = muscles atrophy Mildly hypothyroid Less able to resist stress/infection (due to
thymus, glucocorticoids of adrenal and melatonin from pineal)
Some decline in insulin production diabetes
