• Today in class we will:– Compare intercellular communication in the
endocrine and nervous systems• Learn the differences and similarities in each system’s
function(s) and how they are important with regard to homeostasis in the body
– Talk about hormones• The 3 major structural classes and examples of each• The secretion, distribution, and elimination of hormones• The mechanisms that allow hormones to affect target
cells and organs– Identify the organs of the endocrine system• Learn the names of the hormones that each endocrine
organ produces 2

Intercellular Communication• Cellular activities in the body must be
coordinated to maintain homeostasis (a stable internal environment within the body)
• Homeostasis is the key to survival in an ever changing environment– Failure to maintain homeostasis eventually leads to
illness or death• Activities in the human body are coordinated
through intercellular communication (communication between cells)

Endocrine System vs. Nervous SystemDifferences
• Endocrine system– Endocrine
communication• Via hormones• Thru circulatory system
– Affects target cells in other tissues/organs distant to tissue of origin
– Slow response, but lasts much longer
• Nervous System– Neural (synaptic)
communication• Via neurotransmitters• Across synaptic cleft
– Affects limited, specific area (post-synaptic)
– Fast response, short-term crisis management

Endocrine System vs. Nervous SystemSimilarities
• Both systems:– Share many chemical messengers– Use chemical messengers that must bind to
specific receptors on their target cells– Share the common goal of maintaining
homeostasis

Steroid Hormones
• Produced by:– Male and female reproductive organs• Testes androgens (testosterone)• Ovaries estrogens and progestins (progesterone)
– Adrenal glands corticosteroids– Kidneys calcitrol
• Bound to transport proteins in plasma (albumins, globulins) so remain in circulation longer than peptide hormones
18
![Page 19: Chapter 18: The Endocrine System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816335550346895dd3c1a6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Eicosanoids
• Small molecules with 5-C ring at one end• Important local (paracrine) hormones secreted by
all cells except RBCs• Primarily affect neighboring cells– Coordinate cellular activities– Affect enzymatic processes in extracellular fluid
• 2 Types– Leukotrienes (from WBCs or leukocytes)
• Coordinate tissue response to injury or disease
– Protaglandins (produced by most tissues of the body)• Coordinate local cellular activities

Hormone Distribution and Transport
• Hormones secreted/released into:– Interstitial space– Capillaries
• Circulate/distributed through bloodstream as:– Free hormones– Bound hormones
20
![Page 21: Chapter 18: The Endocrine System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816335550346895dd3c1a6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Free Hormones• Proteins, polypeptides, amino acid
derivatives• Rapidly removed from bloodstream– Diffuse out of bloodstream and bind to
receptors on target cells– Absorbed by liver or kidney and broken down– Broken down by enzymes in plasma or
interstitial fluids• Functional for <1 hr
21
![Page 22: Chapter 18: The Endocrine System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816335550346895dd3c1a6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Bound Hormones• Thyroid and steroid hormones• Bound to transport proteins in blood, i.e.,
albumins and globulins• Remain in circulation much longer (weeks)
22
![Page 23: Chapter 18: The Endocrine System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816335550346895dd3c1a6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Hormone Function and Mechanism of Action on Target Organs
• Alter cellular operations• Change biochemical properties or physical
structure of target cells– Activate genes in nucleus that code for synthesis
of enzyme or structural protein– Turn existing enzyme on or off by changing its
shape or structure– Increase/decrease rate of synthesis of enzyme or
other protein
23
![Page 24: Chapter 18: The Endocrine System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816335550346895dd3c1a6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Hormone Function and Mechanism of Action
• Hormone effect depends on:– Type of target cell– Type of receptor = protein molecule to which
particular hormone binds strongly• Requires interaction of hormone with
appropriate receptor• Presence or absence of specific receptor
determines cell’s hormonal sensitivities– Receptor present response– Receptor absent no response
24
![Page 25: Chapter 18: The Endocrine System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816335550346895dd3c1a6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Hormone Receptors
• On cell membrane (extracellular)– For water-soluble hormones (can’t cross
membrane)• Catecholamines (E and NE)• Peptide hormones
– Hormones can’t have direct effect inside cell– Act as first-messenger • Causes second-messenger to appear in cytoplasm
(cAMP, cGMP, Ca++)• Second messenger changes in rates of metabolic
reactions
25
![Page 26: Chapter 18: The Endocrine System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816335550346895dd3c1a6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Hormone Receptors• Inside cell (intracellular)– For lipid-soluble hormones (can cross membrane)
• Steroid and thyroid hormones
– Cross cell membrane and bind to receptors in cytoplasm or nucleus
– Hormone/receptor complex activates/inactivates specific genes and changes protein/enzyme synthesis, e.g., • Testosterone stimulates production of enzymes and protein in
skeletal muscle, causing increased muscle mass and strength• Thyroid hormones increase/decrease concentrations of enzymes
and bind to mitochondria and increase ATP production

Hypothalamus:A Neuroendocrine Organ
• Neural effects – Controls feeding reflexes, heart rate, blood pressure,
body temp, day-night activity cycles
• Endocrine contribution– Hormone synthesis (for release by posterior pituitary),
i.e., ADH and OT• Transported via axons of neurosecretory cells to posterior
pituitary for release
– Hormone synthesis and release, i.e., RHs• Transported via hypophyseal portal system to anterior
pituitary

Hypothalamic Hormones
• Hypothalamus produces:– ADH (antidiuretic hormone)– OT (oxytocin)– RHs (regulatory hormones)
34
![Page 35: Chapter 18: The Endocrine System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816335550346895dd3c1a6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Hypothalamic Hormones
• ADH (antidiuretic hormone)– Produced by supraoptic nuclei (released by
posterior pituitary)– Effects• Decreases water lost at kidneys by increasing
reabsorption• Elevates blood pressure through vasoconstriction
– Release inhibited by alcohol why you urinate a lot while drinking
35
![Page 36: Chapter 18: The Endocrine System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816335550346895dd3c1a6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Diabetes Insipidus
• Inadequate amounts of ADH released from posterior pituitary
• Impairs water conservation at kidneys watery urine
36
![Page 37: Chapter 18: The Endocrine System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816335550346895dd3c1a6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Hypothalamic Hormones
• OT (oxytocin)– Produced by paraventricular nuclei (released by
posterior pituitary)– Produced during:• Sex, breastfeeding, and other bonding experiences
(increases trust and compassion)• Labor
– Stimulates smooth muscle in:• Mammary gland milk ejection• Uterus to promote labor and delivery• Male and female reproductive tracts
– Plays a role in sexual function37

Hypothalamic Hormones
• RHs (regulatory hormones)– Produced by median eminence (tuberal area)– Stimulate/inhibit anterior pituitary hormone
synthesis and release
38
![Page 39: Chapter 18: The Endocrine System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816335550346895dd3c1a6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Hypophyseal Portal System
• Prevents dilution of very small quantities of RHs by systemic circulation
• Ensures RHs entering portal vessels will reach target cells in anterior pituitary

Control of Endocrine Organs
• Involves endocrine reflexes, i.e., stimulus hormone secretion
• In most cases, controlled by negative feedback mechanisms
• Hormones released in response to one or more of the following stimuli:– Humoral– Neural– Hormonal
41
![Page 42: Chapter 18: The Endocrine System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816335550346895dd3c1a6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Control of Endocrine Organs
• Humoral stimuli– From local changes in composition of
extracellular fluid– Hormones released continually, but rate rises and
falls in response to humoral stimulation• e.g., pancreatic hormones
increased blood glucose increased extracellular glucose increased insulin
42
![Page 43: Chapter 18: The Endocrine System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816335550346895dd3c1a6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Control of Endocrine Organs
• Neural stimuli– Via arrival of neurotransmitters at neuroglandular
junctions• e.g., hypothalamic control of adrenal medullae via
action potentials along efferent nerve fibers (also have hormonal component)– Hypothalamus has autonomic centers that exert direct neural
control over endocrine cells of adrenal medullae– When sympathetic division activated, adrenal medullae
release E and NE into bloodstream
43
![Page 44: Chapter 18: The Endocrine System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816335550346895dd3c1a6/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Control of Endocrine Organs
• Hormonal stimuli– Via arrival/removal of hormones from other
endocrine glands• Hypothalamus
– Highest level of endocrine control– Secretes regulatory hormones/factors that stimulate
synthesis and secretion of anterior pituitary hormones and/or prevent the synthesis and secretion of hormones
• Anterior pituitary – Hormones it secretes controls activities of other endocrine
organs (thyroid, adrenal cortex, reproductive organs)
44
![Page 45: Chapter 18: The Endocrine System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816335550346895dd3c1a6/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Hypothalamic Control ofEndocrine Function
• Involves most complex responses• Integrates activities of nervous and
endocrine systems• 3 mechanisms– Secretion of AP regulatory hormones– Production of ADH and oxytocin– Control of sympathetic stimulation of adrenal
medullae
45
![Page 46: Chapter 18: The Endocrine System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816335550346895dd3c1a6/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Hypothalamic Control ofEndocrine Function
• Secretion of AP regulatory hormones– Neurosecretory cells in median eminence of Hth
secrete RHs– Delivered to AP thru hypophyseal portal system– Control release of AP hormones (e.g., TSH, ACTH,
FSH, LH) that control other endocrine organs– Rate of RH release controlled by negative
feedback
47

Hypothalamic Control ofEndocrine Function
• Production of ADH and oxytocin– Hth acts as endocrine organ by producing ADH
and oxytocin that are released by PP– Neurosecretory cells connect Hth to PP– ADH and oxytocin packaged in vesicles and
transported along axons to PP where they are stored in axon terminals
– When neurosecretory cells stimulated, action potential triggers release of stored ADH and oxytocin from PP

Effects of Thyroid Hormones• Many, diverse effects• On almost every cell in the body– Especially metabolically active tissues and organs, e.g.,
skeletal muscle, liver, kidneys• Increase– Cellular metabolism, e.g., energy utilization, oxygen
consumption– RBC formation– Growth and development– Heart rate, contraction– Mineral turnover in bone
• Calorigenic/thermiogenic effect– Enables body to adapt to cold temperatures
67

Hypothyroidism• Inadequate production of thyroid hormones– From inadequate dietary iodide
• Effects– In later childhood: retarded growth and mental
development; delayed puberty– In adults: lethargy, unable to tolerate cold temperatures,
leads to myxedema (subcutaneous swelling, dry skin, hair loss, low body temp, muscular weakness, slowed reflexes)
– Most commonly diagnosed in women >50 y.o.• Congenital– Cretinism (in an infant); inadequate skeletal and nervous
development; metabolic rate dec 40%

Patterns of Hormonal Interaction• Cells never respond to only one hormone; respond to
multiple hormones simultaneously• When cell receives instructions from 2 hormones at once
4 possible effects:– Antagonistic (opposing): result depends on balance between two
hormones, e.g., insulin and glucagon, PTH and calcitonin)– Synergistic (additive): both hormones give same instructions and
effect is magnified, e.g., GH and glucocorticoids glucose-sparing effect
– Permissive: first hormone needed for second hormone to produce effect, e.g., thyroid hormones must be present for epinephrine effect on energy consumption
– Integrative (different but complementary results): important in coordinating activities of different physiological systems, e.g., calcitriol and PTH effects on tissues involved in calcium metabolism

Examples of Complex Hormone Interactions
• Growth– Involves GH, thyroid hormones, insulin, PTH,
calcitriol, reproductive hormones
• Behavior– Many hormones involved– Produce changes in mood, emotional states
and behavior

Examples of Complex Hormone Interactions
• Stress– General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) or stress
response– Divided into 3 phases• Alarm phase• Resistance phase• Exhaustion phase

General Adaptation Syndrome
• Alarm phase– Immediate response– Directed by sympathetic division of ANS– Epinephrine is dominant hormone– Energy reserves (glucose) mobilized from
glycogen– “Fight or flight” responses

General Adaptation Syndrome
• Resistance phase– Entered if stress lasts longer than few hours– Energy demands still high• Glycogen reserves nearly exhausted after hours of
stress– Glucocorticoids are dominant hormones• Mobilize lipid and protein reserves• Raise and stabilize blood glucose concentrations• Conserve glucose for neural tissues

General Adaptation Syndrome
• Exhaustion phase– Begins when homeostatic regulation breaks
down– Failure of 1 or more organ systems proves fatal
