Chemical MessengerDefinition:Chemical messengers are
molecules that specialized cells synthesize and secrete.

Chemical MessengersChemical messengers can be
categorized as follows:Local chemical messengerNeurotransmitterNeuropeptitesHormonesPheromones

Local chemical messengers
Many cells secrete chemicals that alter physiological conditions in the immediate vicinity.
Most of these chemicals ace on the same cell (autocrine agents) or adjacent cells (paracrine agents) and do not accumulate in the blood.
Vertebrate examples include some of the chemicals called lumones that the gut produces and chat help regulate digestion. In a wound, mast cells secrete a substance called histamine that participates in inflammatory response.

NeurotransmittersNeurons secrete chemicals called
neurotransmitters (e.g., nitric oxide and acetylcholine) that act on immediately adjacent target cells.
These chemical messengers reach high concentrations in the synaptic cleft, act quickly, and are actively degraded and recycled.
Ex: Acetylcholine : causes contraction of skeletal muscles.

Neuropeptides Some specialized neurons (called
neurosecretory cells) secrete neuropeptides (neurohormones).
The blood or other body fluids transport neuropeptides to nonadjacent target cells, where neuropeptides exert their effects (figure).
In mammals, for example, certain nerve cells in the hypothalamus release a neuropeptide that causes the pituitary gland to release the hormone oxytocin, which induces powerful uterine contractions during the delivery of offspring.

HormonesEndocrine glands or cells
secrete hormones that the bloodstream transports to nonadjacent target cells (figure).
Ex: Insulin is secreted by pancreas and regulates energy metabolism

PheromonesPheromones are chemical
messengers released to the exterior of one animal that affect the behavior of another individual of the same species.

Interlinkage of Nervous System & Endocrine SystemScientists now recognize that the
nervous and endocrine systems work together as an all-encompassing communicative and integrative network called the neuroendocrine system.
In this system, feedback systems regulate chemical messengers in their short- and long-term coordination of animal body function to maintain homeostasis.

HormoneDerivation: Gr. Hormaein,to
set in motion or to spur….. Hormone is a specialized
chemical messenger that an endocrine gland or tis sue produces and secretes.
The study of endocrine glands and their hormones is called endocrinology.
![Page 18: Hormones and their feedback system](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5562c227d8b42a595e8b5151/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Action Of HormonesHormones circulate through
body fluids and affects the metabolic activity of a target cell or tissue in a specific way.
A target cell has receptors to which chemical messengers either selectively bind to or on which they have the effect.
Only rarely does a hormone operate independently.

BIOCHEMISTRY OF HORMONES
![Page 20: Hormones and their feedback system](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5562c227d8b42a595e8b5151/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Contribution of Hormones in control of Biochemical Reactions Hormones are effective in extremely small amounts. Only a few molecules of a hormone may be enough to
produce a dramatic response in a target cell. In the target cell, hormones help control biochemical reactions in three ways:
1. A hormone can increase the rate at which other substances enter or leave the cell.
2. It can stimulate a target cell to synthesize enzymes, proteins, or Other substances.
3. It can prompt a target cell to activate or suppress existing cellular enzymes.
As is the case for enzymes, hormones are not changed by the reaction they regulate.

Hormones that the vertebrate pancreas secretes are proteins.
Those that the thyroid gland secretes are amines.
The ovaries, testes, and cortex of the adrenal glands secrete steroids.
Produced from 20-carbon fatty acid, arachadonic acid. Produced in all cells except RBCs. Involved in inflammation.

Feedback Control System Of Hormone SecretionA feedback control system
monitorschanges in the animal or in the external environment and sends information to a central control unit (such as the central nervous system), which makes adjustments.

Positive Feedback SystemA positive feedback system
reinforces the initial stimulus. Positive feedback systems
are relatively rare in animals because they usually lead to instability or pathological states.
Surges of Hormones can occur with Positive feedback system.
![Page 27: Hormones and their feedback system](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5562c227d8b42a595e8b5151/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

One example of Positive feedback system is the surge of Luteinizing Hormone(LH) that occurs as a result of the stimulatory effect of estrogen on the anterior pituitary before ovulation. The secreted LH then acts on the ovaries to stimulate additional secretion of estrogen, which return causes more secretion of the LH. Eventually, LH reaches an approach an appropriate concentration ,and typical negative feedback control of hormones secretion is then exerted.

Negative Feedback SystemA feedback system that
produces a response that counteracts the initiating stimulus is called a negative feedback system.
Negative feedback systems monitor the amount of hormone secreted, altering the amount of cellular activity as needed to maintain homeostasis.
![Page 31: Hormones and their feedback system](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5562c227d8b42a595e8b5151/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

For example, suppose that the rare of chemical activity (metabolic rate) in the body cells of a dog slows (figure). The hypothalamus responds to this slow rate by releasing more thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), which causes the pituitary gland to secrete more thyrotropin, or thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH). This hormone, in turn, causes the thyroid gland to secrete a hormone called thyroxin.
Thyroxin increases the metabolic rate. restoring homeostasis.Conversely, if the metabolic rate speeds tip, the hypothalamus releases less TRH, the pituitary secretes less TSH, the thyroid secretes less thyroxin, and the metabolic rate decreases once again, restoring homeostasis.
