Endocrine System - Guangyuan Pan Period 2
Major functions of the endocrine system
Makes hormones that control your moods, growth, and
development, metabolism, organs, and reproductive organs.
It controls how hormones are released. Sends those hormones into your bloodstream so they can go to the other body parts.
Major endocrine glands/organs and their functions (separate by region/ body cavity)
Thyriod Gland
T3 hormone helps maintain muscle control, brain function and
development. And it usually goes for most tissues
T4 hormone is important for you metabolism, mood, and body
temperature
Parathyriod Gland
Makes PTH and usually targets the kidney, bones, and intestine. It makes calcium and releases it into the bloodstream taken from the bone.
Adrenal Gland
Makes aldosterone, cortisone, epinephrine, and norepinephrine
Pancreas
Makes glucagon and insulin
Pineal Gland
Makes melatonin and usually goes for organs in the brain. And it
helps your body with circadian rhythms and with sleep
Thymus Gland
Makes aldosterone, cortisone, epinephrine, and norepinephrine.
Testes
Makes testosterone which regulates bone mass, fat, muscle
mass, and strength
Ovaries
Makes estrogen and progastrin. Estrogen helps control the menstrual cycle and is usually good for childbearing. It usually targets organs in the female reproductive organ.
Compare and contrast steroid vs. non-steroid hormones and list the hormones for each
category
Steroid Hormones
Are lipid-soluble,so they could pass through cell membrane
Steroid substances are derived from cholestorl
Steroids are formed from cholesterol
Estrogen,, testosterone, aldosterone, and cortisol
non-steroid Hormones
Need to combine with receptors in target cell membrane.
Homeostatic mechanisms of hormone regulation (negative and positive feedback)
Negative Feedback
Controls Hormone Release
Control he nervous system influences certain endocrine gland directly
Hormone levels remain fairly constant fluctuating
within a normal average range
Positive feedback
It pushed the body to its limits and to extreme measures causing
it to keep going
Diseases associated with the endocrine system
Hypothyroidism
Thyroid doesn't create and release enough thyroid hormone into
your blood stream.
Hyperthyroidism
Thyroid creates and releases thyroid hormone but your body
doesn't recognize it
