Alicia Resmer, Period 5: Endocrine System
Major Functions of Endocrine System
Endocrine glands release hormones into bloodstreams
Metabolism, Homeostasis, Growth/Development, Sexual Function, Reproduction, Sleep-Wake Cycle, Mood
Major endocrine glands/organs and their functions (separate by region/ body cavity)
• Include the hormones produced, their functions and their target organs
Pineal Gland
Melatonin- helps body relax, sleep-cycle, metabolism
Hypothalamus
Corticotrophin- Regulates HPA axis
Gonadotropin- Stimulates pituitary to stimuate FSH and LH
TRH- stimulate Thyroid
Thyroid
Thyroxine- Controls Metabolic Rate
Calcitonin- Blocks osteoclasts activity (Controls calcium amount)
Pituitary Gland (Grand Master)
Growth- Regulates Growth
Thyroid Stimulating- Tells Thyroid to produce hormones
Prolactin- Controls breast milk production
Adrenocorticotrophic- tells adrenals to make hormones
Follicle Stim and Lutenising- Reproductive
Thymus
Thymosin- Stimulates T-Cell production for immune system, control inflammation and immunity
Thymopoietin: fuels T-Cell production and send signal to pineal gland to produce hormones
Pancreas
Insulin- Lowers blood sugar, regulates energy supply by balancing micronutrients
Glucagon- Increase blood sugar, Keeps blood sugar from getting too low
Adrenal Glands
Aldosterone- Helps control salt and water balance in kidney (keep sodium in and release potassium)
Cortisol- Control glucose levels in blood, respond to danger and stress
Kidneys
Erythropoietin- Stimulate production and maintenance of RBC's
Ovaries
Estrogen- Regulates development of uterus, growth/development, Reproduction and Progesterone
Progesterone- Contraception, Luteal phase support, prepare uterus
Testes
Testosterone- Regulate Sex Drive, Bone mass, Fat distribution, Muscle Mass, RBC, Sperm
Parathyroid
Parathyroid Hormone- control calcium levels in blood
Compare and contrast steroid vs. non-steroid hormones and list the hormones for each
category
Steroid- Directly Active, Related to Cholesterol, Lipid Soluble
Testosterone, Progesterone, Estrogen, Aldosterone, Cortisol
Non-Steroid: Inactive, Protein, Amino Acid, Nonlipid soluble, Pituitary and Hypothalamic
Antidiuretic, Oxytocin, Thyrotropin, Gonadotropin, GH, ACTH, LH, Thyroid Stimulating, FSH
Homeostatic mechanisms of hormone regulation (negative and positive feedback)
Blood Level, Sugar Level, Blood Pressure
Diseases associated with the endocrine system
Diabetes- Not enough insulin, high blood sugar :
PCOS- Cysts that form on ovaries
Hypothyroidism- High risk heart failure, underactive thyroid
Acromegaly- abnormal growth caused by overproduction of growth hormone
Prolactinoma- too much prolactin
