of other cells• Amino Acid Based or are Steroid/Thyroid Hormones…review in

Steroid & Thyroid Hormones
– Lipids – can pass through target cell memb– Bind directly to receptor site in cytoplasm or
nucleus

Other Types of Hormones• Both act “locally”• Prostaglandins
– Produced by many cells rather than endocrine glands– Smooth muscles that line air passages, blood
vessels, intestines– Accumulate in injured areas
• Neuropeptides– Secreted by nervous system– Ex: endorphins
![Page 36: Nervous System and Sense Organs = Ch 49. Also known as a nerve cellAlso known as a nerve cell Made of cell body, dendrites and axonMade of cell body,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062721/56649f205503460f94c38a1f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Hypothalamus & Pituitary Gland• Hypothalamus + pituitary gland
= primary regulators of endocrine system
• Control release of many other hormones
• Hypothalamus releases hormones that stimulate or inhibit release of hormones from pituitary gland= temp control
• Pituitary = Growth Hormone

Thyroid Gland• Near lower part of larynx
• Metabolism
• Heart rate, blood pressure, temp., metabolic rates

Thyroid Gland• Hyperthyroidism: overproduction of
thyroid hormones, overactivity, high blood press., body temp
• Hypothyroidism: lethargy, weight gain, low heart rate– Caused by iodine deficiency = goiter

Adrenal Glands• Above each kidney
– Epinephrine & norepinephrine: nervous system reaction “fight or flight”
– Cause liver to produce glucose increased heart rate, pupils dilate, bronchial tubes enlarge

Pancreas• Both exocrine & endocrine cells• Endocrine
– Islets of Langerhans– Insulin: absorption of glucose in cells (lowers
blood sugar)– Glucagon: liver releases glucose (increases blood
sugar)
• Type I diabetes, immune cells attack islet cells & require insulin injections
• Type II diabetes: occurs after age 40, obesity, poor diet/exercise

Other Endocrine Glands• Thymus
– Beneath sternum, between lungs, formation of T-cells
• Pineal– Near base of brain, melatonin sleep
patterns
• Parathyroid– In back of thyroid, increase
concentration of calcium ions in blood for bone growth & muscle activity
• Digestive organs– Stomach Gastrin– Small intestine secretin

Homeostasis– Stable internal environment– Antagonistic hormones: opposite effect
• Glucagon/insulin
– Negative Feedback: initial hormone stimulates other hormones that inhibit release of initial hormone – has stabilizing effect
– Positive Feedback: initial hormone stimulates other hormones that stimulate further release of initial hormone
