Endocrine System Mariah Mancinas P:1
Major functions of the endocrine system
Growth and Devolopment
Metabolism: Breaking down food and getting nutrients as well as energy
Fertility and Sexual Function
Sleep
Hormone production to maintain homeostasis
Major endocrine glands/organs and their functions
Release of Hormones
Hormones go into blood stream to let hormone travel to cells in the other parts of our body
Endocrine hormone: Controls mood, growth and Development
Endocrine regulates how much one of our hormone is producted
Compare and contrast steroid vs. non-steroid hormones and list the hormones for each
category
Steroid Hormones
Produce lipid called cholesterol
Change gene expression
Penetrate Cell Membrane
Reach Nucleus
Soulble in fat
Non- steroid Hormones
Have protein, small peptides and modified amino acids
Relases secondary messangers
Bind to cell Membrane
Not soluble in fat
Homeostatic mechanisms of hormone regulation
Blood Glucose levels: Responsible for heeping homeostatic processes
Controls blood pressure
Regulates the internal conditions of cells
Regulates temperature, water, and sugar levels.
Diseases associated with the endocrine system
Diabetes: A disease is which the pancreases produces little to no insulin.
Addisons Disease: A disease in which you have progressive anemia, low blood pressure, you feel weak and it is caused by inadequate secretion of hormones by the adrenal cortex.
Cushings Syndrome: A disease which is caused by overproduction of corticosteroid hormones.
Graves Disease: A swelling of the neck,overactive thyroid gland
