Adrenal gland may be destroyed by hemorrhage or infection
Replacements are necessary
What is the treatment for addisons
Glucocorticoids - sugars - replace with prednisone medications
disease
Mineralocorticoids - aldosterone
Androgens - sex hormones - estrogen, progesterone, testosterone
hypothalmus
pituitary
thymus
what are the endocrine glands? thyroid
parathyroid
what are the hormones from each ( & adrenal glands
know what the target organ is)? pancreas
pineal
ovaries - progestrone (decrease of progestrone = bleeding) & estrogen
testes
negative feedback
the endocrine system uses what type of - Hormones as chemical messengers
feedback? Target receptors
Meaning as needs increase supply increases
Blood sugar and insulin
1. high bl glucose
2.beta cells of pancreas increase secretion of insulin
what are the steps of the process that 3.insulin promotes transports of glucose into cells
occurs when there is high bl glucose 4. low bl glucose
5.alpha cells secrete glucagon
6.gluconeogenesis

what are the two main hypothalmus release specific hormone
hormones and what are their effects 2.hypothalamic-inhibiting hormones (decrease release of specific hormone by
anterior pituitary
what is the main pituitary (anterior lobe) growth hormone (GH, somatotropin)
hormone - stimulates protein synthesis

1. adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
- stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete primarily cortisol
2. thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
- stimulates thyroid gland
3. follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
what are the 5 main hormones of - women: stimulates growth of ovarian follicles and estrogen secretion
the adenohypophysis - men: stimulates sperm production
4. luteinizing hormone (LH)
- women: stimulates maturation of ovum and ovulation
- men: stimulates secretions of testosterone
5. prolactin (PRL)
- stimulates breast milk production during lactation
what is the main hormone of the pituitary antidiuretic hormone (ADH or vasopressin)
(posterior lobe) - increases reabsorption of water in kidney
oxytocin (OT)
what is the main hormone from
- stimulates contraction of uterus after delivery
neurohypophysis
- stimulates ejection of breast milk during lactation
what is the main hormone from the insulin
pancreas (beta cells of islets of - transport of glucose and other substances into cells
langerhans) - lower bl glucose level
glucagon
what is the main hormone from the - glycogenolysis in liver
pancreas (alpha cells) - increases bl glucose levels
(brain HAS to have glucose to function)
parathyroid hormone (PTH)
what is the main hormone form the
- increases bl calcium level by stimulating bone demineralization and increasing
parathyroid gland
absorption of Ca+ in the digestive tract and kidneys
the negative feedback mechanism
- Complex system for some hormones
how is hormone released usually
- secretion may be controlled by more than one mechanism
controlled?
- Rate and timing of secretion may
vary. (Cyclic patterns)
what works together to regulate endocrine and nervous system
metabolic activities
Calcitonin and parathyroid hormone
what hormones act as antagonists?
Insulin and glucagon
what do hormone excess disorders impaired control or feedback
reflect as?
- tumor produces high levels
what are some causes of excess hormone
- excretion by liver or kidney is impaired
levels?
- congenital confition produces excess hormone
