4. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): –Has been used to relieve negative symptoms of menopause but –May cause increased risks of stroke and cancer Bioidenticals are: –Synthetic human hormones –Produced by chemically modifying plant-derived hormones

5. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. HORMONES: AN OVERVIEW Hormones are: –Regulatory chemicals that affect specific sites in the body –Produced by most plants and animals –Made by endocrine glands

6. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The endocrine system: –Consists of all hormone-secreting cells –Is the body’s main system for internal chemical regulation

7. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Endocrine cells secrete into the bloodstream hormones that: –Can affect many cells in many different body organs but –Only affect target cells, cells that have receptors for that specific hormone

8. Endocrine cell Blood vessel Membrane- enclosed sacs Hormone molecules Receptor protein Target cell Adrenal glands (type of endocrine gland), which sit atop the kidneys Figure 25.1

20. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The major endocrine glands in humans are spread about the human body.

26. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland The hypothalamus: –Is part of the brain –Is the main control center of the endocrine system –Receives information from nerves about the: –Internal condition of the body –External environment

27. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The pituitary gland: –Is a pea-sized structure that hangs below the hypothalamus –Responds to signals from the hypothalamus –Secretes hormones that influence many body functions

30. Hypothalamus Posterior pituitary Bone Anterior pituitary Figure 25.5b

31. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The pituitary gland consists of two parts: –The posterior pituitary: –Stores hormones –Secretes hormones made in the hypothalamus –The anterior pituitary: –Synthesizes its own hormones, such as FSH and LH –Secretes hormones directly into the blood

32. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The hypothalamus: –Operates through the posterior pituitary –Directs the activities of the kidneys

33. Hypothalamus Kidneys Anterior pituitary ADH Posterior pituitary Blood vessel (ADH increases water reabsorption and prevents dehydration) Figure 25.6

34. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The anterior lobe of the pituitary also secretes growth hormone (GH), which: –Promotes development and enlargement of all parts of the body –Can lead to: –Dwarfism, if too little GH is produced –Gigantism, if too much GH is produced

35. (a) Overproduction of GH during development (b) Overproduction of GH during adulthood (c) Underproduction of GH during development Figure 25.7

39. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Endorphins: –Are produced by the anterior pituitary –Act as natural painkillers

40. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands The thyroid gland, located in the neck just under the larynx, produces: –Calcitonin, which lowers calcium levels in the blood –Several hormones involved in controlling: –Oxygen consumption –Metabolism –Development

41. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Hypothyroidism: –Results from too little thyroid hormone in the blood –Can result from: –Dietary deficiencies of iodine –A defective thyroid gland

42. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Hyperthyroidism –Results from too much thyroid hormone in the blood –Can lead to: –Overheating –Profuse sweating –High blood pressure –Protruding eyeballs

43. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The parathyroid glands: –Are four disk-shaped glands embedded within the thyroid –Produce parathyroid hormone, which raises calcium levels in the blood

44. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Calcitonin and parathyroid hormone (PTH) are antagonistic hormones, because they have opposite effects on calcium levels in the blood. Blast Animation: Signaling: Endocrine

51. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The Pancreas The pancreas produces two antagonistic hormones that play important roles in managing the body’s energy supplies: –Insulin reduces blood sugar levels –Glucagon increases blood sugar levels

52. Pancreas releases insulin into the blood Stimulus: Rising blood glucose level (for example, after eating a carbohydrate-rich meal) Glucose level Homeostasis: Normal blood glucose level Insulin Figure 25.9-1

58. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Diabetes mellitus is a hormonal disease in which body cells are unable to absorb glucose from the blood either because: –There is not enough insulin produced (type 1, or insulin-dependent diabetes) or –The target cells do not respond normally to insulin (type 2, or non- insulin-dependent diabetes) Diabetes can be treated.

62. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The Adrenal Glands The adrenal glands are paired structures resting atop the kidneys. Each adrenal gland consists of two glands: –The adrenal medulla –The adrenal cortex

63. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine, hormones that: –Enable the body to respond to stress –Produce the fight or flight response

64. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Stressful stimuli activate nerve cells in the hypothalamus that send signals to stimulate the adrenal medulla.

65. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The adrenal cortex: –Is also stimulated by the hypothalamus –Secretes two hormones that provide a slower, longer-lasting response to stress: –Corticosteroids –Glucocorticoids Blast Animation: Signaling via Steroid Hormones

73. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The Gonads The gonads secrete sex hormones that: –Affect growth and development –Regulate: –Reproductive cycles –Sexual behavior

74. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Males and females have the same three types of sex hormones: –Estrogens –Progestins –Androgens

75. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Estrogens: –Maintain the female reproductive system –Promote the development of specific female features

76. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Progestins, including progesterone, are primarily involved in preparing the uterus to support a developing embryo.

77. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Androgens, including testosterone, stimulate the development and maintenance of the male reproductive system.

78. The Process of Science: Can Pollution Cause Sex Changes? Observation: All of the female mosquitofish collected in a Florida stream had anatomical features and behaviors normally found only in males. Question: Was pollution from a nearby paper mill the cause of these changes? Hypothesis: Runoff from the mill contained endocrine disruptors. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

79. Experiment: Water and fish were analyzed from above and below the paper mill. Results: Female fish with masculine features were found only downstream of the paper mill.

81. Evolution Connection: Androgens, Anatomy, and Aggression Testosterone and other androgens: –Promote the development and maintenance of the male reproductive system –Play a similar role in all vertebrates © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

82. In addition to determining the male sexual condition, androgens: –Are responsible for male vocalizations –Promote aggressive behavior

83. Figure 25.13

84. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The different roles for androgens among vertebrates illustrate two central aspects of life resulting from Darwinian evolution: –The unity of life (a consistent effect on the development of the male gonads) –The diversity of life (the variety of secondary effects)
