OverviewOverview
Endocrine System
- composed of hormone-releasing organs such as the:
hypothalamus thymus
pituitary gland pancreas
thyroid gland gonads
parathyroid -ovaries
adrenal glands -testes
pineal gland

Endocrine SystemEndocrine System
- is controlled by the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland
- along with the Nervous System, it coordinates and directs body function
- maintains homeostasis by releasing chemicals called hormones
![Page 5: Endocrine drugs](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102523/5576d6f0d8b42a87588b4936/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Endocrine vs NervousEndocrine vs Nervous
- the nervous system communicates locally by electrical impulses and neurotransmitters directed through neurons to other neurons or to specific target organs such as muscle or glands
- nerve impulses generally act within milliseconds
![Page 6: Endocrine drugs](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102523/5576d6f0d8b42a87588b4936/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Endocrine vs NervousEndocrine vs Nervous
- the endocrine system releases hormones into the blood stream
- the hormones are then carried by the blood stream into target cells throughout the body
- hormones have broader range of response times (they act from seconds to days or longer)
![Page 8: Endocrine drugs](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102523/5576d6f0d8b42a87588b4936/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

HormonesHormones
- Greek word, “to arouse”
- chemical substances secreted by the cells into the extracellular fluids that stimulate or regulate the metabolic activity of other cells in the body.
- Gen. MOA: binding of the hormone to the target cell or organ elicits response.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM)Diabetes Mellitus (DM)
- diabetes = Greek “siphon”
mel = honey
- “something sweet is passing through or siphoning from the body”
- a metabolic disorder in which glucose levels in the blood are too high and begins to spill in the urine because the kidney tubule cells cannot reabsorb it fast enough

Insulin - EffectsInsulin - Effects
1. It facilitates transport of glucose across cell membrane
2. In the liver, it promotes glycogenesis and gluconeogenesis
3. In the muscles, it increases amino acid transport, protein synthesis and glycogenesis
4. In adipose tissues, it increases triglyceride storage
