2 AnatomyPhysiology -endocrine glands any tissue or organ that secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream Do you know the names of any endocrine glands? -hormones a chemical that affects the metabolism or behavior of a cell Do you remember what is meant by "metabolism? -target cell a cell having a specific receptor that reacts with a specific hormone Can you think of the names of any specific hormones?

3 Endocrine Glands Matching: Adrenal Hypothalmus Ovaries Pancreas Parathyroid Pineal Gland Pituitary Gland Testes Thymus Thyroid 7 1 9 8 4 2 3 10 6 5

4 7 1 9 8 4 2 3 10 6 5 Adrenal Hypothalmus Ovaries Pancreas Parathyroid Pineal Gland Pituitary Gland Testes Thymus Thyroid Releases hormones to the pituitary Secrete testosterone Secretes insulin Master endocrine gland Metabolizes carbs, proteins, and lipids Maturation site for immune system cells Secretes adrenalin Secrete estrogen Secretes melatonin (regulates sleep patterns) Controls the amount of calcium in the blood

5 Diseases of the Endocrine System 1. Produce too little of a hormone: Addison's disease- fatigue, upset stomach, dehydration, skin hyperpigmentation due to underproduction of cortisol by the adrenal glands

6 2. Produce too much of a hormone: Hyperthyroidism- weight loss, fast heart rate, nervousness due to overproduction of thyroid hormone. Typically caused by the autoimmune disorder- Graves Disease.

7 How The Endocrine System Works 1. The nervous system causes a hormone to be released. Fight or Flight Example: Hypothalamus causes the release of adrenalin

8 2. The hormone is shuttled through the blood stream to a target cell. *A hormone’s target cells has receptors that other cells lack.

9 3. Hormones stimulate changes in the target cell. Fight or Flight Example: What cells would be targeted? Example: Cardiac muscle cells What changes would take place? Example: Increased heart rate

10 4. Negative feedback system control when the endocrine gland should be inhibited or begin to secrete again. Fight or Flight Example: Heart rate decreases Watch this animation
