Topics 1 Introduction. Overview of the whole endocrine system. 2 Mechanism of hormone regulation. Hormonal control of the endocrine system. 3 Function of hormones. Individual body glands.

MMR Introduction Endocrine system is the body second great controlling system. The endocrine system influences almost every cell, organ, and function of the body. That is why patients with an endocrine disorder often have a broad range of signs and symptoms.
4
MMR Overview of the whole endocrine system System of ductless glands that produces and secrete hormones. Ductless i.e. without a duct i.e. it releases hormones directly into the blood stream. Function : it acts in conjugation with the nervous system to control several body function by secretion of hormones.
5
MMR Main Glands Of The Endocrine System: 1.Pituitary gland. 2.Pineal gland. 3.Thyroid gland. 4.Parathyroid gland. 5.Suprarenal gland. 6.Pancreas. 7.Gonads.
6
MMR Hormones 1.Messenger molecules. 2.Circulate in the blood to act on distant target cells. 3.Target cells respond to the hormones for which they have receptors. 4.The effects are dependent on the programmed response of the target cells, it could be either agonist or antagonist effect. 5.Some hormones acts only on single organ cells while others act on multiple.
7
MMR Mechanisms of hormone regulation 1.Humoral: in response to changing levels of ions or nutrients in the blood. 2.Neural: stimulation by nerves. 3.Hormonal: stimulation received from other hormones. Hormones operate within positive or negative feedback systems to maintain an optimal operating environment in the body.

Hormonal control of endocrine glands secretion Endocrine regulation maintains hormone secretion through Negative Feedback. Drop in the level of a hormone triggers a chain reaction of responses to increase the level hormones in the blood. Disease occurs System Stops Providing Negative Feedback to regulate function i.e. Positive Feedback Is Given.
10
MMR Function of hormones 1.Increase or decrease rate of cellular metabolism 2.Transfer information between cells to coordinate body functions such as Growth and Development, Metabolism, Hemostasis, Reproduction, Response to Stress And Sexual Development And Function
11
MMR Individual Components Of The Endocrine System
12
MMR Hypothalamus Located in the brain. Produces two categories of hormones : 1.Several releasing and inhibiting factors that stimulate such as (TRH, CRH, GHRH,PRF and GnRH) or inhibit (GH inhibiting hormone, PIF) anterior pituitary’s secretion of hormones. 2.Hormones that are stored in and released from posterior pituitary( Oxytocin and ADH).

Hormones released by hypothalamus
14
MMR Pituitary gland Located at the Base Of The Brain. Connected to the hypothalamus by Hypothalamo-pituitary Stalk. Also known as Master Gland because its main function is to control secretions of the other glands. Secretion of pituitary gland is controlled by releasing and release inhibiting factors of the hypothalamus.

16
MMR Pituitary Gland It is divided into two parts : 1.Anterior pituitary : it synthesize and secretes seven hormones which controls secretion of other body hormones. 2.Posterior pituitary : it only holds and secretes (ADH and Oxytocin), which are produced in the hypothalamus.
17
A.TSH : stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone B.ACTH : stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce corticosteroids. C.FSH : stimulates follicle growth, estrogen production and also sperm production. D.LH : play major rule ovulation and the growth of the corpus luteum. So what do the anterior pituitary hormones do?
18
A.GH : stimulates growth of the bones by closure of epiphyseal plates. B.PRL : stimulates mammary glands in breast to make milk. C.MSH : stimulates melanocytes and may increase mental alertness. So what do the anterior pituitary hormones do?
19
1.ADH (antidiuretic hormone i.e. vasopressin) : stimulates the kidneys to reclaim more water from the urine, raises blood pressure 2.Oxytocin : prompts contraction of smooth muscle in reproductive tracts, initiation of labor and ejection of milk from breasts What about the posterior pituitary hormones? Remember posterior pituitary only secretes hormones

21
MMR Thyroid gland Located in the front of the neck. Divided into two lateral lobes connected by an isthmus. Thyroid gland secretes 3 hormones : A.Thyroid hormones : T3 and T4, both secreted from Follicular Cells. B.Calcitonin : secreted from parafollicular cells.
22
MMR A.Increases the Basal Metabolic Rate : it is rate at which the body uses oxygen to transform nutrients into energy. B.Affects many processes and cells throughout the body as : 1.Protein synthesis 2.Bone growth 3.Neuronal maturation 4.Cell differentiation Effects of Thyroid Hormone
23
MMR The Effects of Calcitonin Secreted when blood Calcium Levels are High. Calcitonin Lowers Ca level by : 1.Slowing activity of osteoclasts in bone. 2.Increasing calcium secretion by the kidney. 3.Decrease intestinal absorption of ca.
25
MMR The Parathyroid Gland Located on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland, sometimes embedded. Secretes parathyroid hormone (PTH): PTH increases ca level by : 1.Increase of Ca 2+ release from bone by osteoclasts. 2.Increases intestinal absorption. 3.Increase renal reabsorption of calcium. Opposite of Calcitonin
26
MMR Paired, triangular shaped gland. Located at the upper pole of the kidney. Divided into two parts : 1.Cortex : the outer part, secrets 3 types of hormones ( Glucocorticoids, Mineralocorticoids And Androgens). 2.Medulla : inner part, secretes Catecholamines. The Supra Renal Glands
27
Anatomy of the thyroid gland
28
MMR 1.Help the body deals with stressful condition whether physical e.g. trauma or surgery, psychological e.g. depression and physiological e.g. fasting. A.Supporting and regulating several metabolic, cardiovascular, immunologic and haemostatic function. B.Hyperglycemia i.e. increasing blood glucose level to support brain. That’s Why Corticosteroids Are Essential For Life. Corticosteroids
29
MMR Corticosteroids 2.Catabolic effects e.g. increase protein break down. 3.In large doses it suppresses the immune system. That’s why steroids are given in autoimmune diseases
30
MMR Mineralocorticoids Increase Sodium and Water Reabsorption from the kidney leading to increase in blood volume and increase in the blood pressure. Main mineralocorticoid is Aldosterone, it is secreted in response to Hypotension or Hypovolemia.
31
MMR Catecholamines Secreted by the adrenal medulla, which is considered as part of Autonomic Nervous System. It includes adrenaline and noradrenaline Prolong and intensify the sympathetic nervous system response during stress ( Fight Or Flight Response ).
32
Effect of adrenal medulla hormones
35
MMR Flattened intra-abdominal organs. Consists of both endocrine and exocrine cells (mixed gland). Endocrine cells is called islets of Langerhans. There are 3 types of islet cells ; alpha, beta and delta, each secrete different hormone. The Pancreas
36
