TOPIC : Endocrine System Aim : Explain the function and makeup of the endocrine system.

1. TOPIC: Endocrine System Aim: Explain the function and makeup of the endocrine system. Do Now: Take out endocrine system reading notes. With your neighbor, compare and contrast the CNS and the PNS. (3 minutes) HW: Venn Diagram for CNS and PNS Castle Learning – Nervous and Endocrine Systems due Tuesday, March 15th.

2. Compare and contrast the CNS and PNS. COMPARE BOTHthe CNS and the PNS : - are made up of neurons - help control or REGULATE the body

3. Compare and contrast the CNS and PNS. CONTRAST The CNS is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The PNS is made up of the nerves that extend throughout the body. The CNS consists of interneurons. The PNS consists of sensory and motor neurons.

4. Homework - Venn Diagram CNS PNS CNSandPNS

5. Which endocrine gland do you think is NOT maintaining homeostasis?

6. Conclusion Questions • Describe the function of the endocrine system. • Regulates all life process

7. 2. Describe hormones and how they are transported throughout the body. • Hormones are special PROTEINS, which act as signals. • Hormones are transported in the BLOOD.

8. 3. Identify the cells affected by hormones and the structure that hormones attach to on those cells. • Hormones affect TARGET CELLS. • Hormones attach to RECEPTORS on the target cells.

9. Identify structure B. Support your answer. • Explain why cell C is the target cell.

10. 4. Compare and contrast the nervous and endocrine system. • They BOTH regulate the body. • They BOTHsend messages to different parts of the body. • The endocrine system releases HORMONES. The nervous system transmit IMPULSES. • Endocrine system messages are chemical. Nervous system messages are electrical and chemical. • The endocrine system is made up of endocrine glands. The nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord and nerves.

11. Identify the gland that releases human growth hormone. • Pituitary gland

13. Pituitary gland

14. 3. Identify the function of human growth hormone. • Tells muscle cells to grow, reproduce, or repair themselves.

15. Master gland

17. Verne Troyer, 30, describes himself as a "little person or dwarf," is 2 feet, 8 inches tall.

19. 14-year old Khagendra Thapa Magar shown in the picture with another boy is only 50cm (20 inches) tall and has been submitted to the Guinness world record as the world's smallest person. The previous world record holder was a Jordanian boy at 25.5 inches tall. Weighing only 4.5 kilograms, he is shown in exhibitions to collect fund for his education.

21. Robert Pershing Wadlow is the tallest person in medical history. He is often known as the "Alton Giant" because of his Alton, Illinois hometown. Robert Wadlow reached 8 feet 11.1 inches in height and weighed 490 pounds at his death. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood was due to an abnormally high level of human growth hormone. He showed no indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death.

22. Robert Wadlow's size began to take its toll: he required leg braces to walk, and had little feeling in his legs and feet. Despite these encounters, Robert Wadlow was never confined to a wheelchair. On July 4, 1940, a faulty brace irritated his ankle, causing a blister followed by an infection. Doctors treated him with a blood transfusion and emergency surgery, but his condition worsened and on July 15, 1940, he died in his sleep. He was 22.

25. TOPIC: Endocrine System Aim: Explain the function and makeup of the endocrine system. Do Now: 1. Pass up your Venn Diagram. 2. Take out endocrine system reading notes. HW: Locomotion Reading Notes due tomorrow! Castle Learning – Nervous and Endocrine Systems due Tuesday, March 15th.

26. 4. Identify the gland that regulates the body’s metabolism. • Thyroid gland

28. Pituitary gland Thyroid gland

29. 6. Identify the hormone that is produced by this gland. • Thyroxine

32. This X-ray shows how an enlarged right lobe of the thyroid has moved the trachea to the patient's left. The trachea (outlined in light yellow) should be straight from the mouth down to the lungs, but in this patient it is compressed and displaced far to the left.

36. 7. Identify the glands that regulate calcium metabolism. • Parathyroid glands

38. 8. Identify the location of these glands. • Located ON THE thyroid.

40. Pituitary gland Parathyroid gland Thyroid gland

45. Pituitary gland Parathyroid gland Thyroid gland Adrenal glands

46. 14. Identify the gland that regulates blood glucose levels. • Pancreas • Islets of Langerhans

47. 15. Identify the location of this gland. • Located in the digestive system, below the stomach.

48. Pituitary gland Parathyroid gland Thyroid gland Adrenal glands Pancreas

49. 16. Identify the hormones released by this gland. • Insulin and glucagon

50. 17. Describe the function of insulin. 18. Describe the function of glucagon. • Insulin causes blood glucose levels to decrease. • Glucagon causes glucose levels to increase.
