Chemical signals
            Chemical signals
Chemical signals or Ligands
   - Molecules released from one location that move to
   another location to produce a response.

Intracellular response  produces from one part of a cell
    and travel to another part of the SAME cell

   Autocrine                   Paracrine
   Neuromodulators             Pheromones

Receptors
                   Receptors
Chemical signals bind to proteins and glycoproteins
   (RECEPTORS)
Specificity  Tendency for each receptor site to bind to a
   specific chemical signal and not the others.
Membrane-bound receptors
Extend across the cell membrane, with
    their receptor sites outside the
    surface of the cell membrane
Responds to chemical signals that are
    large, and water-soluble

Intracellular receptors
Chemical signals DIFFUSES and bind to the
    intracellular receptor located at the
    cytoplasm or nucleus
Hormones
                      Hormones
 Hormones are distributed in the blood to all parts of the
  body, but only its corresponding target tissue respond to
  each type of hormone
 Influences target cells by chemically binding to their
  receptors.
 2,000-100,000 receptors for a particular hormone
 Hormones that pass in the blood and act on distant cells
  are called Circulating hormones or ENDOCRINE
 PARACRINE - Hormones that act on neighboring cells
 AUTOCRINE  Acts on the same cell
 Local hormones usually are inactivated quickly

Thyroid Gland
              Thyroid Gland
 Made up of 2 lobes connected by the isthmus
 Located on either side of trachea, just below the
  larynx
 Largest endocrine gland
 Thyroid follicles  small spheres with walls that
  consist of simple cuboidal epithelium
 Each follicle is filled with protein to which
  thyroid hormones attached.
Endocrine system
Thyroid Hormones
Binds to intracellular receptors in cells and regulate the
   rate of metabolism in the body.
Participates in normal rate of growth and development.
Hypothyroidism
Infants  Cretinism - Mentally retarded and short in
   stature, with abnormally formed skeletal structures.
Adults  reduced rate of metabolism
sluggishness, reduced ability to perform
routine task.
Hyperthyroidism
Elevated rate of metabolism, extreme nervousness, and
  chronic fatigue.
Graves disease  bulging of the eyes (exopthalmia).

Thyroid gland requires iodine to synthesize thyroid
   hormone.
Iodine is taken up by thyroid follicles, hormone synthesis
Thyroxine / tetraiodothyronine (T4)
Triiodothyronine (T3)
Lack of iodine results in reduced T3
and T4 synthesis
Endocrine system
Endocrine system
Para-thyroid Gland
             Para-thyroid Gland
 Embedded in posterior wall of the thyroid gland
 Secretes parathyroid hormone (PTH)
    Regulation of blood calcium
    Increases the absorption of Ca+ from the intestine by causing an
      increase in active vitamin D formation
   Hyperparathyroidism
   Elevated Blood Ca+ results in nerve and muscle less excitable,
      resulting in fatigue and muscle weakness
   Hypoparathryroidism
   Reduced Vitamin D formation. Nerves and muscles
   become more excitable and produce spontaneous
   action potential. Frequent muscle cramps or tetanus
Endocrine system
Hyperparathyroidism
Bones become soft, deformed
  and easily fractured
Adrenal Glands
         Adrenal Glands
1.  Adrenal Medulla  Inner part
   1. Epinephrine (adrenaline)
   2. Norephinephrine
2. Adrenal Cortex  Outer part
Adrenal Medulla  Inner part (narrow or middle)
  Secretes Epinephrine (adrenaline) and small
     amounts of Norephinephrine
  Released in response to stimulation of Sympathetic
     nervous system
  Fight or Flight hormones

Pancreas, Insulin, Diabetes
       Pancreas, Insulin, Diabetes
   Endocrine part consist of pancreatic islets a.k.a.
    Islets of Langerhans  has two types of cells.
   Alpha cells  secrete glucagon
   Beta cells  secrete insulin
   A decline in the blood glucose below the normal
    range causes the nervous system to
    malfunction (Glucose is the Nervous
    systems main source of energy)
Endocrine system
Insulin  Released in response the elevated blood
    glucose levels and increased sympathetic
    stimulation.
    The major target of insulin are the liver, adipose
     tissue, muscles, and the area of the hypothalamus
     that controls the appetite, satiety center.
Diabetes Mellitus  Result from: (1) secretion of too little
     insulin from pancreas, (2) Insufficient numbers of
     insulin receptors on target cells, and (3) defective
     receptors that do not respond normally to insulin.
Triad of Diabetes Mellitus
   1. Polyuria -  urination
   2. Polyphagia -  food intake
   3. Polydypsia -  water intake
(Diabetes Mellitus)
Hyperglycemia- Tissues cannot take up glucose effectively,
    causing blood glucose to become very high.

Polyphagia  Glucose cannot enter cells of the satiety
    center of the brain without insulin, the brain responds
    as if there were little blood glucose, resulting in
    exaggerated appetite.
Polyuria  Excess of glucose in the blood is
    excreted in the urine, thus
Polydypsia  Because of polyuria, the person
    becomes dehydrated and thirsty, thus
    the need to drink often.
Endocrine system
Endocrine system
Testes and Ovaries
        Testes and Ovaries
Testosterone  Main sex hormone in male
  Responsible for the growth and
  development of male reproductive
  structures, muscle enlargement, growth of
  body hair, voice changes and male sexual
  drives.
Estrogen & Progesterone
 Development of female reproductive structures
  and sexual characteristics
 Enlarges the breast and distribute fat, which
  influences the shape of the hips, breast, and
  thighs.
 Maintains menstrual cycle
Endocrine system
Endocrine system
Thymus Gland
              Thymus Gland
 Lies at the upper part of the thoracic cavity
 Plays an important role in immune system
 Thymosin  Helps in the development of T-Cells
  (helps protect the body against infection by
  foreign organism)
 Most important in early life.
Pineal Body
               Pineal Body
 Small pinecone-shaped structure located superior
  and posterior to the thalamus of the brain.
 Melatonin  decrease secretion of LH and FSH by
  decreasing release of hypothalamic-releasing
  hormones. Acts to inhibit reproductive system
Thank You

 Good Luck!

  • 40. Pancreas, Insulin, Diabetes Pancreas, Insulin, Diabetes Endocrine part consist of pancreatic islets a.k.a. Islets of Langerhans has two types of cells. Alpha cells secrete glucagon Beta cells secrete insulin A decline in the blood glucose below the normal range causes the nervous system to malfunction (Glucose is the Nervous systems main source of energy)
  • 42. Insulin Released in response the elevated blood glucose levels and increased sympathetic stimulation. The major target of insulin are the liver, adipose tissue, muscles, and the area of the hypothalamus that controls the appetite, satiety center. Diabetes Mellitus Result from: (1) secretion of too little insulin from pancreas, (2) Insufficient numbers of insulin receptors on target cells, and (3) defective receptors that do not respond normally to insulin. Triad of Diabetes Mellitus 1. Polyuria - urination 2. Polyphagia - food intake 3. Polydypsia - water intake
  • 43. (Diabetes Mellitus) Hyperglycemia- Tissues cannot take up glucose effectively, causing blood glucose to become very high. Polyphagia Glucose cannot enter cells of the satiety center of the brain without insulin, the brain responds as if there were little blood glucose, resulting in exaggerated appetite. Polyuria Excess of glucose in the blood is excreted in the urine, thus Polydypsia Because of polyuria, the person becomes dehydrated and thirsty, thus the need to drink often.
  • 46. Testes and Ovaries Testes and Ovaries Testosterone Main sex hormone in male Responsible for the growth and development of male reproductive structures, muscle enlargement, growth of body hair, voice changes and male sexual drives.
  • 47. Estrogen & Progesterone Development of female reproductive structures and sexual characteristics Enlarges the breast and distribute fat, which influences the shape of the hips, breast, and thighs. Maintains menstrual cycle
  • 50. Thymus Gland Thymus Gland Lies at the upper part of the thoracic cavity Plays an important role in immune system Thymosin Helps in the development of T-Cells (helps protect the body against infection by foreign organism) Most important in early life.
  • 51. Pineal Body Pineal Body Small pinecone-shaped structure located superior and posterior to the thalamus of the brain. Melatonin decrease secretion of LH and FSH by decreasing release of hypothalamic-releasing hormones. Acts to inhibit reproductive system
