Endocrine System
• Primary function
– Regulate internal
environment
– Homeostasis
Endocrine System
• Structure
– Glands
– Hormones
Major Endocrine Glands
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Hypothalamus
Pituitary gland
Thyroid gland
Parathyroid glands
Thymus
Adrenal glands
Pancreas
Gonads
– Ovaries
– Testis
Hormones
• Chemical messengers of
the body
• Act on specific target
cells 
• Increase or decrease in
body function
Hormone Regulation
• “Negative Feedback”
• When target cells release
too much hormone 
send back a message to
reduce the hormone
release.
• When too little hormone
is released  the target
cell sends back a message
to increase the normal
level
Negative feedback
• i temperature 
• Unit (gland) 
• Heating unit turns on
and generates heat
(hormone) 
• h temperature 
• (Heating unit turns off)
Hypothalamus
• Location
– Brain
– Attached to the pituitary
gland
• Function
– Controls the anterior
pituitary
• Temperature
• Fluid volume
• growth
Pituitary Gland
• AKA: hypophysis
• AKA: “Master gland”
• Location
– In the skull
– Below the hypothalamus
Parts of the Pituitary Gland
• Anterior lobe
– 6 hormones
•
•
•
•
•
•
GH
PRL
FSH
LH
TSH
ACTH
• Posterior lobe
– 2 hormones
• Oxytocin
• ADH
Anterior Pituitary Gland
• Growth hormone (GH)

– Bones & muscles
• Function
– Stimulate growth
– h blood glucose levels
Anterior Pituitary Gland
• Prolactin (PRL) 
– Mammary glands
• Function
– Stimulate breast
development during pg
– Milk secretion p\
delivery
Anterior Pituitary Gland
• Follicle-Stim horm. (FSH)
• Luteinizing Horm. (LH) 
– Testes or ovaries
• FSH 
– Sperm production
– Estrogen secretion
• LH 
– Ovulation
– Testosterone secretion
Anterior Pituitary Gland
• Thyroid Stimulating
Hormone (TSH) 
– Thyroid
• Function
– Stim. thyroid growth
– Stim. secretion of
thyroid hormones
Anterior Pituitary Gland
• Adrenocorticotropic
hormone (ACTH) 
– Adrenal Cortex
• Function
– Stim. adrenal cortex
growth
– Stim. secretion of
glucocorticoids
Posterior Pituitary Hormones
• Anti-diuretic Hormone
(ADH)
• Oxytocin
Posterior Pituitary Gland
• Antidiuretic Hormone
(ADH) 
– Kidney
• Function
– Stim. H2O retention 
– i urine output 
– h H2O in serum/body
Posterior Pituitary Gland
• Oxytocin
– Uterus
– Mammary glands
• Function:
– Uterine contractions
during labor
– “let-down” hormone

Thyroid Gland
• Shape
– Butterfly
– Two lobes
