Endocrine System Vincent Peek Vallejo Period 1
Major functions
The major function of the Endocrine system is to keep the body in Homeostasis
Most biological processes are regulated and controlled by the hormones secreted from endocrine glands
Major endocrine glands/organs and their functions
Thyroid Gland
T4- Thyroxine
T3-Triiodothyronine
Testes
Testosterone-Male reproductive hormone
Adrenal Gland
Adrenal Cortex
Cortisol
Adrenal Medulla
Epinephrine
Norepinephrine
Ovaries
Estrogen- Reproductive development in women
Progesterone-Sex hormone involved in a girls menstrual cycle
Pituitary Gland
GH- Growth Hormone
ACTH-Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone
TSH-Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
PRL-Prolactin
Pancreas
Glucagon
Raises blood sugar
Insulin
Lowers blood sugar
steroid vs. non-steroid
Non-Steroid
Amino acid derivatives, peptides, and proteins
Water-soluble
Hormones
Dopamine
Norepinephrine
Serotonin
Epinephrine
Steroid
Synthesized from cholesterol
Lipid-soluble
Hormones
Testosterone
Aldosterone
Dehydroepiandrosterone
Progesterone
Cortisol
Homeostatic mechanisms of hormone regulation
Negative Feedback
The body cuts off creation in order to maintain homeostasis of a hormone due to the stimulus it receives
Positive Feedback
The body increases hormone production in order to maintain homeostasis due to stimulus it has received
Diseases associated with the endocrine system
Hypersecretion of GH
In children this can cause Gigantism
In adults this can cause acromegaly
Diabetes insipidus
ADH deficiency due to damage to hypothalamus
