Endocrine system Dayani Solano Per.2
steroid vs. non-steroid hormones
non-steroid hormones
bind to receptors in a target cell and cause the release of secondary messengers that affect cell activities.
steroid hormones
regulate many physiologic processes, the development and function of the reproductive system.
hormones produced, their functions and their target organs
prolactin
causes the breasts to grow and make milk during pregnancy and after birth.
testosterone
sex hormone and anabolic steroid in males
progesterone
sex hormone involved in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and embryogenesis of humans
cortisol
increases sugars (glucose) in the bloodstream
estrogen
sex hormone responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system
insulin
allows glucose to enter the body's cells to provide energy
hormones of thyroid
triiodothyronine and thyroxine and stores these thyroid hormones and releases them as they are needed.
serotonin
stabilizes our mood, feelings of well-being, and happiness
functions of the endocrine system
fertility and sexual functions
feelings of sexual inadequacy and depression can occur due to the emotional link between sexuality and fertility
growth and development
highly dependent on genetic, nutritional, and environmental factors.
sleep
recurring state of mind and body, characterized by altered consciousness, relatively inhibited
Metabolism
chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy
blood pressure
force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries as the heart pumps blood
emotions and moods
moods are feelings that are longer lasting than emotions and have no clear starting point of formation.
endocrine glands/organs and their functions
adrenal
produce hormones important for regulating functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, and stress response.
pituitary gland
hormones it produces affect growth and reproduction. They can also control the function of other endocrine glands.
pineal
It’s important for your sleep-wake cycles.
parathyroid
maintaining control of calcium levels in your bones and blood.
pancreas
function involves controlling blood sugar levels.
thyroid gland
important for metabolism.
thymus
active until puberty and produces hormones important for the development of a type of white blood cell called a T cell.
hypothalamus
produces multiple hormones that control the pituitary gland.
Homeostatic mechanisms of hormone regulation
negative feedback
less associated with the
stability of the system
bolsters the stimulus,
increasing productivity
positive feedback
more associated with the
stability of the system
reduces the effect of the stimulus, decreasing
productivity
Diseases associated with the endocrine system
crushing syndrome
shock and kidney failure after a crushing injury to skeletal muscle.
hashimoto's thyroiditis
immune system attacks the butterfly-shaped gland in the thyroid
grave's disease
immune system disorder of the butterfly-shaped gland in the thyroid
Addison's disease
A disorder in which the adrenal glands don't produce enough hormones.
Type 1 diabetes
pancreas produces little or no insulin
