1 Endocrine System Overview
Endocrine system + nervous system controls and coordinates metabolic activites Regulates metabolic activities via hormones - transported in blood Slow acting but longer lasting than nervous system responses Endocrine system controls and integrates: Maintenance of electrolyte, water, and nutrient balance of blood Reproduction Growth and development metabolism and energy utilization body defenses

2 Pineal gland Hypothalamus Pituitary gland Thyroid gland Parathyroid glands (on dorsal aspect of thyroid gland) Thymus Adrenal glands Pancreas Gonads • Ovary (female) • Testis (male) © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

3 Posterior Pituitary Hormones:
Hypothalamus Hypothalamic neurons synthesize releasing and inhibiting hormones (GHRH, GHIH, TRH, CRH, GnRH, PIH). Anterior lobe of pituitary Superior hypophyseal artery Anterior Pituitary Hormones: Growth hormone (GH) Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Luteinizing hormone (LH) Prolactin (PRL) Posterior Pituitary Hormones: Oxytocin Anti-Diuretic Hormone © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

4 ADH – Anti- Diuretic Hormone
Water Homeostasis High solute concentration causes its release from the posterior pituitary Helps reabsorb water in the kidneys Increases blood volume & hence BP

5 Thyroid Gland Thyroid Hormones: T3, T4 and Calcitonin T3 & T4 –
Helps regulate metabolism Oxidize glucose to make ATP Regulate HR, BP Calcitonin – Helps regulate high blood calcium levels back to normal Figure 16.8

6 Pancreas Location & Function
Secretes two major hormones 1. Insulin - Lowers blood glucose to normal levels Converts excess glucose to glycogen in the liver Helps cells utilize glucose to make ATP 2. Glucagon - increases dropping blood glucose levels to normal

7 Regulation of Blood Glucose Levels
The hyperglycemic effects of glucagon & the hypoglycemic effects of insulin Figure 16.18

8 Adrenal Cortex Adrenal Cortex
Zona Glomerulosa – Mineralocorticoids – Aldosterone - increases blood concentrations of Na+ and decreases K+ concentrations; increases blood volume & BP Zona Fasciculata - Glucocorticoids – Cortisol Glucose homeostasis Zona Reticularis – Androgens - Sex hormones Adrenal Medulla – Epinephrine & Nor- epinephrine “Fight or flight” hormones Increase HR and blood flow to muscles, heart and brain

9 Blood – Composition and Function
Blood is the only fluid tissue in body Physical Characteristics - Blood is a viscous, opaque fluid with metallic taste - Color varies with O2 content - High O2 levels show a scarlet red - Low O2 levels show a dark red - pH 7.35–7.45 - Average volume: Males: 5–6 L Females: 4–5 L Composition of Blood Type of connective tissue Matrix is nonliving fluid called plasma – Temperature & pH homeostasis, transport of nutrients and wastes Cells are living blood cells called formed elements Cells are suspended in plasma Formed elements Erythrocytes (red blood cells, or RBCs) - Transports oxygen and carbon dioxide Leukocytes (white blood cells, or WBCs) - defense and immunity Platelets – clot formation

17 The function of the atrioventricular (AV) valves.
Blood returning to the heart fills atria, pressing against the AV valves. The increased pressure forces AV valves open. 1 Direction of blood flow Atrium Cusp of atrioventricular valve (open) As ventricles fill, AV valve flaps hang limply into ventricles. 2 Chordae tendineae Atria contract, forcing additional blood into ventricles. 3 Papillary muscle Ventricle AV valves open; atrial pressure greater than ventricular pressure © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

18 The function of the semilunar (SL) valves.
Aorta Pulmonary trunk As ventricles contract and intraventricular pressure rises, blood is pushed up against semilunar valves, forcing them open. Semilunar valves open © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

19 The function of the semilunar (SL) valves.
As ventricles relax and intraventricular pressure falls, blood flows back from arteries, filling the cusps of semilunar valves and forcing them to close. Semilunar valves closed © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

20 The heart is a double pump, each side supplying its own circuit.
Tricuspid valve Pulmonary semilunar valve Oxygen-poor blood Superior vena cava (SVC) Inferior vena cava (IVC) Coronary sinus Right atrium Right ventricle Pulmonary trunk Oxygen-rich blood Pulmonary arteries SVC Coronary sinus Pulmonary trunk Right atrium Tricuspid valve Pulmonary semilunar valve Right ventricle IVC The heart is a double pump, each side supplying its own circuit. Oxygen-poor blood is carried in two pulmonary arteries to the lungs (pulmonary circuit) to be oxygenated. Oxygen-poor blood returns from the body tissues back to the heart. To heart To lungs Systemic capillaries Pulmonary capillaries Oxygen-rich blood is delivered to the body tissues (systemic circuit). Oxygen-rich blood returns to the heart via the four pulmonary veins. To body To heart Aorta Pulmonary veins Aortic semilunar valve Left atrium Mitral valve Left ventricle Aortic semilunar valve Mitral valve Left ventricle Left atrium Four pulmonary veins Aorta © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

Slide 5 Intrinsic cardiac conduction system Superior vena cava Right atrium The sinoatrial (SA) node (pacemaker) generates impulses. 1 Internodal pathway The impulses pause (0.1 s) at the atrioventricular (AV) node. 2 Left atrium The atrioventricular (AV) bundle connects the atria to the ventricles. 3 Subendocardial conducting network (Purkinje fibers) The bundle branches conduct the impulses through the interventricular septum. 4 Inter- ventricular septum Anatomy of the intrinsic conduction system showing the sequence of electrical excitation © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
