The Endocrine System

Communication in the Body
Regulation in the body is accomplished
by two systems:
-Nervous system (via electrical impulses)
-Endocrine system (via chemical signaling)
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slide 9.1
Cellular Communication
Both systems are involved in cellular
communication.
Cells communicate to:
-Respond to internal and external
changes.
-Regulate gene expression
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slide 9.1
Three Types of communication
Sometimes called cellular signaling:
via local (diffusion + nerves) or
long distance (blood vessels) mechanisms
Cellular Communication
∙ Local Signaling:
∙Paracrine:
∙Cells releasing chemicals that alter
activity in adjacent cells or themselves
(autocrine).
∙Synaptic
∙Nervous system!
∙ Distant Signaling
∙Endocrine
∙hormones
Slide 9.1
Endocrine System: communication via
hormones (chemicals)
-Release hormones that can travel via the
blood stream
-Who makes them?
∙ Endocrine glands

Slide 9.1
Thyroid

Anterior and
Posterior
Pituitary Gland
Adrenal
glands
Pancreas
Testes
Or
Ovaries
FYI
∙ Other organs in your body are involved
in releasing hormones.
∙Example: small intestines and heart
∙ These are not endocrine glands though,
and their primary function is not to
release hormones.

Slide 9.1
Hormones control several major
processes
-Reproduction
-Growth and development
-Mobilization of body defenses
and homeostasis
-Regulation of metabolism
-Stress response

Slide 9.1
The Chemistry of Hormones
∙ Amino acid-based hormones
∙ Proteins
∙ Peptides
∙ Amines
∙ Steroids – made from cholesterol
∙ Prostaglandins – made from highly
active lipids

Effects Caused by Hormones
Hormones can have many effects, such as:
-Changes in plasma membrane
permeability
-Stimulate the synthesis of proteins, such
as enzymes
-Activation or inactivation of enzymes
-Stimulation of mitosis: aka cell division
and repair

Slide 9.5
Hormones control
my DNA?
Yes…they are
powerful!
Regulating them is
very important.
*Control of Hormone Release
∙ Many hormone levels are regulated via
negative feedback
∙ A stimulus or low hormone levels in
the blood triggers the release of more
hormone
∙ Hormone release stops once an
appropriate level in the blood is
reached
∙ Great example of….Homeostasis!

Slide 9.10
Stimuli of Endocrine Glands
Changing blood levels of certain ions
stimulate hormone release.
Ex. Blood calcium levels
regulates hormones
PTH and calcitonin

Slide 9.12
*Neural Stimuli of Endocrine Glands
∙ Nerve impulses stimulate
hormone release.
∙ Most are under control of
the sympathetic nervous
system (SNS).

∙ These are extreme
cases and only
treatable with a
thyroidectomy.
*Thyroid Problems: Goiter
∙ Since the hormones of
the thyroid
require iodine,
people low dietary
iodine = a
problem (goiter)
∙ The thyroid makes a part of the hormones,
but they are missing iodine.
∙ Therefore, the thyroid never gets “the
message” to stop making T3 and T4
because it works via negative feedback.
∙ This = enlargement of the thyroid.

Thyroid Gland
-Location: base of throat
-Form: two lobes and a connecting
tissue isthmus
-Produces two hormones
1. Thyroid hormone (to body tissues for
controlling growth, development, +
energy utilization)
2. Calcitonin-regulates amount of blood
calcium levels in the body

Slide 9.23a
Thyroid Hormone: major metabolic
hormone
Often blamed for “slow metabolism and
weight problem” although often over
exaggerated.
-Controls the rate at which glucose is
metabolized or “burned” = converted to
chemical energy or lost as heat.
Targets all cells in body because they all
need energy!

Slide 9.24
Adrenal Glands:
two glands that
sit on top of the
kidneys
Regulates: concentration of
water and salts in
urine
-blood pressure

Slide 9.27
*Blood Pressure
maintenance
Stimulus: BP too low?
Keep more water in your blood- don’t pee it out
Constrict your vessels to decrease diameter
(vasoconstriction) – less space = more pressure
Stimulus: BP too high?
Pee more- get the water out of your body!
Make your vessels wider to decrease pressure
(vasodilatation)- more space= less pressure.

estrogens)

∙ Sex hormones
∙ Produced in the inner layer of the adrenal
cortex
∙ Androgens (male) and some estrogen
(female)
∙ Produced in small amounts throughout life.

Pancreas: a mixed gland
-produces hormones:
1. Insulin – released from beta cells
2. Glucagon – released from alpha cells
These hormones are antagonists that
maintain blood sugar homeostasis

Pancreas: exo- and endoInsulin – released when blood
glucose levels are too high
• Communicates to cells to take glucose in,
stored in muscle and liver cells
• insulin ~ glucose goes in
• As a result, blood glucose levels
decrease

Slide 9.33
Pancreas: exo- and endoGlucagon – released when blood
glucose levels are too low
• Communicates to cells to release
glucose, from muscle and liver cells
glucagon = glucose gone (from cells and
into blood)
• As a result, blood glucose levels
increase

Location: posterior to the sternum
Largest in infants and children;
shrinks with age.
-Major component in immune system
-Produces thymosin
-Trains and develops white blood cells (Tlymphocytes, T cells), which attack foreign
invaders to the body
