Major functions of the endrocrine system
Works with nervous system to maintain homeostasis
Hormones diffuse into the blood stream to act on specific target cells
DIseases associated with the endocrine system
Thyroid disorders include hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Causes low metabolic rate, fatigue. This cuases high metabolic rate, reteslesness and overeating.
Calcium regulation and parathyroid disorders include hypoparathymoidism and hyperparathymoidism.
Disorders of adrenal hormones are Addison disease and causing syndrome
Homeostatic mechanisms
Negative feedback- its the release of hormones from hypothalamus controls secretion of anterior pituitary hormones affect activity of other endocrine glands
Positive feedback- is when a body changes from the normal point and amplifies it. Forms blood clots
Major endocrine glands and their functions
Exocrine- secretes products into ducts, outside the internal envoirnment
Endocrine- Secretes hormones into body fluid to affect target cells
Organs are called endocrine glands, that secrete hormones into bodily fluids.
Major endocrine glands- pitutary, parathyroid, adrenal, pancreas, pineal, and reproductive glands-
Hormones and their functions and their target organs.
Non steroid hormones- combine with receptors in target cells membranes; the receptors have binding site and an activity site.
Local Hormones- Include paracrine secretions affect neighboring cells autocrine secretions which affect only the secretory cells
Steroid hormones- lipid soluble, so they can pass through cell membranes and its located inside the target cell
Steroid vs non steroid hormones
Steroid are derived from cholesterol and non steroids are amimnes pepitides, proteins, or gloycroproteins which a re produces from amino acids.
