CHEMICAL REGULATION • CHEMICAL SIGNALS COORDINATE BODY FUNCTIONS • HORMONE • A REGULATORY CHEMICAL THAT TRAVELS IN THE BLOOD FROM ITS PRODUCTION SITE AND AFFECTS OTHER SITES IN THE BODY • ENDOCRINE GLANDS • ORGANS THAT PRODUCE HORMONES • TARGET CELLS • CELLS THAT RESPOND TO A HORMONE
CHEMICAL REGULATION • CHEMICAL SIGNALS COORDINATE BODY FUNCTIONS • NEUROSECRETORY CELL • SPECIALIZED NERVE CELL THAT, IN ADDITION TO CONDUCTING NERVE SIGNALS, MAKES AND SECRETES HORMONES • NEUROTRANSMITTERS • CHEMICALS THAT CARRY INFORMATION FROM ONE NERVE CELL TO ANOTHER, OR FROM A NERVE CELL TO ANOTHER KIND OF CELL THAT WILL REACT, SUCH AS A MUSCLE CELL OR AN ENDOCRINE CELL • LOCAL REGULATOR • SECRETED INTO THE INTERSTITIAL FLUID AND AFFECTS CELLS VERY NEAR THE POINT OF SECRETION • EXAMPLE: PROSTAGLANDINS
CHEMICAL REGULATION • ENDOCRINE SYSTEM • THE BODY’S MAIN CHEMICAL-REGULATING SYSTEM • WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
CHEMICAL REGULATION • HORMONES AFFECT TARGET CELLS BY TWO MAIN SIGNALING MECHANISMS • STEROIDHORMONES • NON-STEROIDHORMONES
CHEMICAL REGULATION • NON-STEROID HORMONES • HORMONE ATTACHES TO RECEPTOR ON CELL MEMBRANE; BINDING OCCURS OUTSIDE OF CELL • EX. EPINEPHRINE (A.K.A. ADRENALINE) • INITIATES A SIGNAL-TRANSDUCTION PATHWAY • ALWAYS MADE FROM AMINO ACIDS (PROTEIN BASED) • STEROID HORMONES • LIPIDS MADE FROM CHOLESTEROL • EX. TESTOSTERONE • HORMONE-RECEPTOR COMPLEX ACTS BY TURNING GENES ON OR OFF
CHEMICAL REGULATION • HORMONES CAN BIND TO A VARIETY OF RECEPTORS • EPINEPRHINECAUSESGLYCOGENBREAKDOWNIN LIVER,BUT MUSCLECONTRACTION IN HEART CELLS
CHEMICAL REGULATION • OVERVIEW: THE VERTEBRATE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM • ENDOCRINE SYSTEM CONSISTSOF MORE THAN A DOZENMAJOR GLANDS • PINEAL GLAND • OUTGROWTH OF BRAIN THATSECRETES MELATONIN; NOTFULLY UNDERSTOOD • THYMUS • CLOSELY LINKED TO IMMUNESYSTEM; STIMULATES T CELLDEVELOPMENT
CHEMICAL REGULATION • THE HYPOTHALAMUS, CLOSELY TIED TO THE PITUITARY, CONNECTS THE NERVOUS AND ENDOCRINE SYSTEMS • HYPOTHALAMUS • MASTER CONTROL CENTER OF THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM; PART OF THE BRAIN • ITS ENDOCRINE SIGNALS DIRECTLY CONTROLS THE PITUITARY GLAND
CHEMICAL REGULATION • THE HYPOTHALAMUS, CLOSELY TIED TO THE PITUITARY, CONNECTS THE NERVOUS AND ENDOCRINE SYSTEMS • PITUITARY CONSISTS OF TWO DISTINCT PARTS • POSTERIOR PITUITARY • COMPOSED OF NERVOUS TISSUE, AN EXTENSION OF THE HYPOTHALAMUS; STORES AND SECRETES HORMONES MADE IN THE HYPOTHALAMUS
CHEMICAL REGULATION • THE HYPOTHALAMUS, CLOSELY TIED TO THE PITUITARY, CONNECTS THE NERVOUS AND ENDOCRINE SYSTEMS • PITUITARY CONSISTS OF TWO DISTINCT PARTS • ANTERIOR PITUITARY • COMPOSED OF NON-NERVOUS, GLANDULAR TISSUE; SYNTHESIZES ITS OWN HORMONES
CHEMICAL REGULATION • HYPOTHALAMUS AFFECTS THE PITUITARY IN TWO WAYS • RELEASING HORMONES • CAUSES THE ANTERIOR PITUITARY TO SECRETE HORMONES • INHIBITING HORMONES • CAUSES THE ANTERIOR PITUITARY TO STOP SECRETING HORMONES
CHEMICAL REGULATION • HYPOTHALAMUS CONTROLS BODY TEMPERATURE BY • SECRETING TSH-RELEASING HORMONE (TRH) WHICH CAUSES • ANTERIOR PITUITARY TO SECRETE THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) WHICH CAUSES • THRYOID TO SECRETE THYROXINE • THYROXINE INCREASES METABOLIC RATE, WARMING BODY
CHEMICAL REGULATION • HYPOTHALAMUS/POSTERIOR PITUITARY • ENDOCRINE FUNCTION INCLUDES • OXYTOCIN • CAUSES UTERINE MUSCLE CONTRACTION DURING CHILDBIRTH, MAMMARY GLANDS TO PUMP MILK • ANTI-DIURETIC HORMONE (ADH) • HELPS KIDNEY CELLS REABSORB WATER (COLLECTING DUCT OF THE NEPHRON) • ANTERIOR PITUITARY • THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) • ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE (ACTH) • FOLLICLE-STIMULATING HORMONE (FSH) • LUTENIZING HORMONE (LH) • PROLACTIN • ENDORPHINS • NATURAL “OPIATE”; PAIN INHIBITOR / PLEASURE INDUCER
CHEMICAL REGULATION • THE THYROID REGULATES DEVELOPMENT AND METABOLISM • THYROID GLAND • LOCATED JUST UNDER THE VOICEBOX • THYROXINE • HORMONE PRODUCED BYTHYROID GLAND • CONTAINS 4 IODINE ATOMS
CHEMICAL REGULATION • THE THYROID REGULATES DEVELOPMENT AND METABOLISM • HYPERTHYROIDISM • CAN LEAD TO OVERHEATING, PROFUSE SWEATING, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, WEIGHT LOSS, IRRITABILITY • HYPOTHYROIDISM • CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN, LETHARGY, INTOLERANCE TO COLD • GOITER • UNTREATED DIETARY DISORDER LEADS TO AN ENLARGEMENT OF THE THYROID; RESULTS FROM IODINE DEFICIENCY
CHEMICAL REGULATION • HORMONES FROM THE THYROID AND PARATHYROIDS MAINTAIN CALCIUM HOMEOSTASIS • 4 PARATHYROID GLANDS EMBEDDED IN THE SURFACE OF THE THYROID
CHEMICAL REGULATION • HORMONES FROM THE THYROID AND PARATHYROIDS MAINTAIN CALCIUM HOMEOSTASIS • CALCITONIC FROM THYROID • PARATHYROID HORMONE (PTH) FROM PARATHYROID • **ANTAGONISTIC HORMONES HORMONES THAT HAVE OPPOSITE EFFECTS
CHEMICAL REGULATION • PANCREATIC HORMONES MANAGE CELLULAR FUEL • PANCREAS PRODUCES TWOHORMONES THAT PLAYA LARGE ROLE IN MANAGING THE BODY’SENERGY SUPPLIES
CHEMICAL REGULATION • PANCREATIC HORMONES MANAGE CELLULAR FUEL • INSULIN • LOWERS BLOOD-SUGARLEVEL • PRODUCED BY ISLET CELLS • SPECIALIEZ CELLS OFPANCREAS • GLUCAGAON • RAISES BLOOD-SUGARLEVEL BY BREAKING DOWNGLYCOGEN • PRODUCED BY ALPHA CELLS • SPECIALIZED CELLS OF PANCREAS
CHEMICAL REGULATION • DIABETES IS A COMMON ENDOCRINE DISORDER • DIABETES MELLITUS • A SERIOUS HORMONAL DISEASE IN WHICH THE BODY CELLS ARE UNABLE TO ABSORB GLUOCSE FROM THE BLOOD • TYPE I (BORN WITH IT) • AUTOIMMUNE; IMMUNE SYSTEM ATTACKS AND KILLS BETA (ISLET ISLET CELLS) • TYPE II (DEVELOP IT LATER IN LIFE) • BODY CELLS FAIL TO RESPOND TO INSULIN • HYPOGLYCEMIA • OVERPRODUCTION OF INSULIN; BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS DROP TOO LOW AFTER A MEAL
