Regulation of the Body
Endocrine System
What hormones/other signaling molecules bind to target receptors and how do they trigger response pathways?
-
Signaling pathways
-
synaptic
cognition, movement, memory, sensation; target tissues
-
-
neuroendicrine
neurons secrete neurohormones into the bloodstream, target cells are anywhere in the body
-
endocrine
hormones in extracellular fluid are reached by targeted cells via the bloodstream anywhere in the body

How do diverse stimuli cause endocrine glands to regulate homeostasis, development and behavior?
Control of Blood Calcium
-
calcitonin, a hormone that inhibits bone breakdown and enhances calcium excretion by the kidneys
adrenal hormones
-
-
adrenal cortex
Glucocorticoids
promotes synthesis of glucose upon the breakdown of muscle proteins provides circulating fuel when the body requires it immediately than what is stored
-
sex hormones
influence growth, development, reproductive cycles, and sexual behavior
-
-
evolution
Prolactin stimulates mammary gland growth and milk synthesis in mammals, regulates fat metabolism and reproduction in birds, delays metamorphosis in amphibians, and regulates salt and water balance in freshwater fishes
In amphibians, fishes, and reptiles, MSH regulates skin color by controlling pigment distribution in skin cells called melanocytes. In mammals, MSH functions in hunger and metabolism in addition to skin coloration
Water and Excretion

How do hormonal circuits link kidneys, blood pressure, and water balance?
water balance
ADH
prevents you from peeing
when blood osmolarity rises above the normal range, such as when water intake is inadequate
Blood osmolarity, ADH release, and water reabsorption in the kidney are normally linked in a feedback circuit that contributes to homeostasis
blood pressure
renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). The RAAS responds to the drop in blood volume and pressure by increasing water and sodium reabsorption.
-
blood pressure or blood volume in the afferent arteriole drops, the juxtaglomerular apparatus releases renin
coordination
-
whereas ADH alone would lower blood concentration via water reabsorption in the kidney, the RAAS helps maintain body fluid osmolarity within the normal range by stimulating reabsorption.
