What are the 3 functional anatomical elements of the
endocrine system? - CORRECT ANSWER-Primary Endocrine
Glands
Accessory Endocrinocytes all over the body systems
Hormones
What is the function of the endocrine system? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Control functions of other systems in the body to
maintain physiologic homeostasis
,How is the endocrine system controlled? - CORRECT
ANSWER-By nerve impulses, neurotransmitters, and the
hormones produced by itself
Describe the overall steps of endocrine communication -
CORRECT ANSWER-1. Starts w/stimulation -- usually a
change in internal/external environment
2. Endocrine cells produce hormones
3. The signal (hormone) travels through blood circulation
4. The hormone reaches a target cell w/receptors for the
hormone
5. Ligand binds to receptor
6. Creates a signal transduction
7. Signal transduction leads to a physiologic response
What can endocrine cells be stimulated by? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Homeostatic changes in biomolecules and minerals in
the plasma (Na, K, Ca, GLU, etc)
,By other hormones (example hypothalamic hormones and
pituitary hormones
By nerve impulses and neurotransmitters
By immune responses ---pro/anti inflammatory cytokines
What is the difference between Endocrine and Exocrine
glands? - CORRECT ANSWER-Endocrine --closed--release
hormones into the bloodstream
Exocrine--open--release hormones directly onto body
surfaces/cavities; have a duct
What are the main endocrine glands?
What is a defining feature of all these glands? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Hypothalamus
Pituitary Gland
, Pineal Gland
They are neuroendocrine glands --contain both endocrine and
nervous tissues
