1 The Endocrine System 2 The Endocrine System An Introduction
Hormones (from Greek Harmon to excite) are chemical signals that are secreted into body fluids (most often the blood) and communicate regulatory messages within the body
Target cells Cells that are equipped to respond to hormones
Elicits specific responses
3 Our Primary Focus
Internal chemical signals
What they are
How they function
Their role in maintaining homeostasis
A dynamic steady state in body functions
4 Regulation
Animals have 2 systems for regulation
Nervous System Regulation
Fast means of communication
Fast response
Endocrine System Regulation
Slower means of communication
Slower responses
5 The Endocrine System
All of an animals hormone secreting cells
Also called ductless glands
Secrete their chemical messengers directly into body fluids
Exocrine glands secrete into ducts that convey the message to the appropriate location
Mucus sweat digestive enzymes
6 Nervous system and Endocrine system similarities more than you think!
Neruosecretory cells
Specialized nerve cells that secrete hormones
Both vertebrate and invertebrate
Eg. Epinephrine
Feedback
Positive or Negative
7 Figure 45.1 An example of how feedback regulation maintains homeostasis 8 Figure 45.x1 Pupa Stage 9 Figure 45.2 Hormonal regulation of insect development (Layer 1) Molting is triggered by a hormone called ecdsone. It also favors the development of adult characteristics. Its controlled by a second hormone Brain Hormone (BH). 10 Figure 45.2 Hormonal regulation of insect development (Layer 2) 11 Figure 45.2 Hormonal regulation of insect development (Layer 3) BH and ecdysone are balanced by juvenile hormone (JH). This hormone promotes the retention of larval characteristics. Synthetic versions of JH are being used as pesticides lots of JH means not many adults. Will it work 12 Figure 45.0 A monarch butterfly just after emerging from its cocoon 13 1. A variety of local regulators affectneighboring target cells

16 2. Most chemical signals bind to plasma-membrane proteins initiating signal-transduction pathways.
Fig. 45.3a 17
Different signal-transduction pathways in different cells can lead to different responses to the same signal.
Fig. 45.4 18
Signal- transduction pathways allow for small amounts of a hormone to have a large effect.
Fig.11.16 19 3. Steroid hormones thyroid hormones and some local regulators enter target cells and bind to intracellular receptors
