The Endocrine System General Functions of Hormones • Help regulate: • extracellular fluid • metabolism • biological clock • contraction of cardiac & smooth muscle • glandular secretion • some immune functions • Growth & development • Reproduction
Endocrine Glands Defined • Exocrine glands • secrete products into ducts which empty into body cavities or body surface • sweat, oil, mucous, & digestive glands • Endocrine glands • secrete products (hormones) into bloodstream • pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pineal • other organs secrete hormones as a 2nd function • hypothalamus, thymus, pancreas,ovaries,testes, kidneys, stomach, liver, small intestine, skin, heart & placenta
Hormone Receptors • Hormones only affect target cells with specific membrane proteins called receptors
Circulating & Local Hormones • Circulating hormones • act on distant targets • travel in blood • Local hormones • paracrines act on neighboring cells • autocrines act on same cell that secreted them
Lipid-soluble Hormones • Steroids • lipids derived from cholesterol • Thyroid hormones • Nitric oxide is gas
Water-soluble Hormones • Amine, peptide and protein hormones • modified amino acids or amino acids put together • serotonin, melatonin, histamine, epinephrine • Eicosanoids • derived from arachidonic acid (fatty acid) • prostaglandins or leukotrienes
Hormone Transport in Blood • Protein hormones circulate in free form in blood • Steroid (lipid) & thyroid hormones must attach to transport proteins synthesized by liver • improve transport by making them water-soluble • slow loss of hormone by filtration within kidney • create reserve of hormone
General Mechanisms of Hormone Action • Hormone binds to cell surface or receptor inside target cell • Cell may then • synthesize new molecules • change permeability of membrane • alter rates of reactions • Each target cell responds to hormone differently • liver cells---insulin stimulates glycogen synthesis • adipose---insulin stimulates triglyceride synthesis
Hormone diffuses through phospholipid bilayer & into cell Binds to receptor turning on/off specific genes New mRNA is formed & directs synthesis of new proteins New protein alters cell’s activity Action of Lipid-Soluble Hormones
Action of Water-Soluble Hormones • Can not diffuse through plasma membrane • Hormone receptors are integral membrane proteins • Receptor protein activates G-protein in membrane • Results in amplification of hormone effects
Amplification of Hormone Effects • Single molecule of hormone binds to receptor • Activates 100 G-proteins • Each activates an adenylate cyclase molecule which then produces 1000 cAMP • Each cAMP activates a protein kinase, which may act upon 1000’s of substrate molecules • One molecule of epinephrine may result in breakdown of millions of glycogen molecules into glucose molecules
Control of Hormone Secretion • Regulated by signals from nervous system, chemical changes in the blood or by other hormones • Negative feedback control (most common) • decrease/increase in blood level is reversed • Positive feedback control • the change produced by the hormone causes more hormone to be released • Disorders involve either hyposecretion or hypersecretion of a hormone
Negative Feedback Systems • Decrease in blood levels • Receptors in hypothalamus & thyroid • Cells activated to secrete more TSH or more T3 & T4 • Blood levels increase
Positive Feedback • Oxytocin stimulates uterine contractions • Uterine contractions stimulate oxytocin release
Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland • Both are master endocrine glands since their hormones control other endocrine glands • Hypothalamus is a section of brain above where pituitary gland is suspended from stalk (surrounds 3rd ventricle) • Hypothalamus receives input from cortex, thalamus, limbic system & internal organs • Hypothalamus controls pituitary gland with different releasing & inhibiting hormones (gonadotropin-releasing hormone, growth hormone-releasing hormone, growth hormone-inhibiting hormone) • Major integrating link between nervous and endocrine systems
Anatomy of Pituitary Gland • Pea-shaped, 1/2 inch gland found in sella turcica of sphenoid • Infundibulum attaches it to brain (hypothalamus) • Anterior lobe (adenohypophysis) = 75% develops from roof of mouth • Posterior lobe (neurohypophysis) = 25% • ends of axons of 10,000 neurons found in hypothalamus • neuroglial cells called pituicytes
Development of Pituitary Gland • Events occurring between 5 and 16 weeks of age
Flow of Blood to Anterior Pituitary • Controlling hormones enter blood • Travel through portal veins • Enter anterior pituitary at capillaries
Anterior pituitary cells
Human Growth Hormone • Produced by somatotrophs (somatostatin) of anterior pituitary • Within target cells increases synthesis of insulinlike growth factors that act locally or enter bloodstream • common target cells are liver, skeletal muscle, cartilage and bone • increases cell growth & cell division
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) • Hypothalamus regulates thyrotroph cells • Thyrotroph cells produce TSH • TSH stimulates the synthesis & secretion of T3 and T4 • Metabolic rate stimulated
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) • GnRH from hypothalamus controls gonadotrophs • Gonadotrophs release FSH • FSH functions • initiates the formation of follicles within the ovary • stimulates follicle cells to secrete estrogen • stimulates sperm production in testes
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) • GnRH from hypothalamus stimulate gonadotrophs • Gonadotrophs produce LH • In females, LH stimulates • secretion of estrogen • ovulation of oocyte from ovary • secretion of progesterone • In males, stimulates interstitial cells to secrete testosterone
Prolactin (PRL) • Hypothalamus regulates lactotroph cells (PRH) • Lactotrophs produce prolactin • Under right conditions, prolactin causes milk production • Suckling reduces levels of hypothalamic inhibition and prolactin levels rise along with milk production • Nursing ceases & milk production slows
Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone • Corticotrophin-RH stimulate corticotrophs • Corticotrophs secrete ACTH & MSH • ACTH stimulates cells of the adrenal cortex that produce glucocorticoids
Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone • Secreted by corticotroph cells • Releasing hormone from hypothalamus increases its release from the anterior pituitary • Function not certain in humans (increase skin pigmentation in frogs )
Posterior Pituitary Gland • Does not synthesize hormones • Consists of axon terminals of hypothalamic neurons and pituicytes (neuroglia) • Neurons release two neurotransmitters that enter capillaries • antidiuretic hormone • oxytocin
Oxytocin • Two target tissues both involved in neuroendocrine reflexes • During delivery • baby’s head stretches cervix • hormone release enhances uterine muscle contraction • baby & placenta are delivered • After delivery • suckling & hearing baby’s cry stimulates milk ejection • hormone causes muscle contraction & milk ejection
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) • Known as vasopressin • Functions • decrease urine production • decrease sweating • increase BP by retaining water
Thyroid Gland • On each side of trachea is lobe of thyroid • Weighs 1 oz & has rich blood supply
Histology of Thyroid Gland • Follicle = sac of stored hormone (colloid) surrounded by follicle cells that produced it • T3 & T4 • In between cells called parafollicular cells • produce calcitonin
Actions of Thyroid Hormones • T3 & T4 = thyroid hormones responsible for our metabolic rate, synthesis of protein, breakdown of fats, use of glucose for ATP production • Calcitonin = responsible for building of bone & stops reabsorption of bone (lower blood levels of Calcium)
Parathyroid Glands • 4 pea-sized glands found on back of thyroid gland
Histology of Parathyroid Gland • Chief (principal) cells produce parathyroid hormone (PTH) • Oxyphil cell function is unknown
Parathyroid Hormone • Raise blood calcium levels • increase activity of osteoclasts • increases reabsorption of Ca+2 by kidney • promote formation of calcitriol (vitamin D3) by kidney which increases absorption of Ca+2 and Mg+2 by intestinal tract • Opposite function of calcitonin
Regulation of Calcium Blood Levels • High or low blood levels of Ca+2 stimulate the release of different hormones --- PTH or CT
Anatomy of Pancreas • Organ (5 inches) consists of head, body & tail • Cells (99%) in acini produce digestive enzymes • Endocrine cells in pancreatic islets produce hormones
Cell Organization in Pancreas • Exocrine acinar cells surround a small duct • Endocrine cells secrete near a capillary
Histology of the Pancreas • 1 to 2 million pancreatic islets • Contains 4 types of endocrine cells
Cell Types in the Pancreatic Islets • Alpha cells (20%) produce glucagon • Beta cells (70%) produce insulin • Delta cells (5%) produce somatostatin • F cells produce pancreatic polypeptide
Regulation of Glucagon & Insulin Secretion • Low blood glucose stimulates release of glucagon • High blood glucose stimulates secretion of insulin
