Endocrine System by Katherine Contreras Period 6
Major functions of the endocrine system
Works with the nervous system to maintain homestasis
Hormones diffuse into the bloodstream to act on specific target cells some distance away
Include the hormones produced, their functions and their target organs
Compare and contrast steroid vs. non-steroid hormones and list the hormones for each
category
Non-steroid
combine with receptors in target cell membranes
Steroid
they can pass through cell
membranes
hormone-receptor complex binds with the DNA and activates
specific genes
Homeostatic mechanisms of hormone regulation (negative and positive feedback)
Diseases associated with the endocrine system
Type 1 diabetes mellitus/Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Hypothyroidism/ Hyperthyroidism
Hypoparathyroidism/Hyperparathyroidism
Addison disease-hyposecretion of glucocorticoids and
mineralocorticoids
Cushing syndrome-hypersecretion of adrenal cortical
hormones
Major endocrine glands/organs and their functions (separate by region/ body cavity)
Glands
Endocrine- (secretes products into ducts,
