Merari Hernandez Per: 5 Endocrine
Major Functions of Endocrine System
Works with nervous system to maintain of homeostasis
Made up of cells,tissues and endocrine glands
Endocrine glands/organs-Functions
Glands
Kidneys
secrete erythroproyein
Pineal Glands-secretes melatonin-regulates sleep
Andrenal Gland
Ephinephrine/Nonrephrine
used in fight or flight
Thyroid Gland-below larynx
Thyroxine/Triiodothyronie/Calciton
Parathyroid Glamd
Parathyroid Hormone-increases blood calcium levels
Thymus Gland-secretes thymosins-affect production of T Lympocyes
Reproductive Gland- Ovaries/Testes
Pancreas
Glucagon-rise sugar blood levels
Insulin-lower blood sugar levels
Pituitary Gland
GH-Growth, PRL-Milk Production,TSH-Controls secrete of hormones, ACTH-Controls secretion of hormones from adrenal cortex, FSH-affects males, LH-affects females
Steriod Hormones
Lipid-soluble to pass through cell membranes.
Hormone receptor complex binds with the DNA and activates specific genes.
Derived from Cholesterol
Progesterone, Testosterone,Cortisol,Cholesterol,Estrogens, Enzymes
Non Steriod Hormones
Combine with receptors in target cell membranes. Receptors have a binding and an activity site. Produced from amino acids
norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin and epinephrine
Homeostatic Mechanisms
Positive Feedback
response that continues to increase in order to produce the desired effect
Negative Feedback
Release hormone from the hypothalmus. Control hormone release
Diseases associated with Endocrine System
Diabetes Type 1
Insulin decreases/stops
Diabetes Type 2
Insulin not recorgnized by cells
