the branch of biology that deals with endocrine glands and their secretions as: relations to their process of function
endocrinology
endocrine glands:
sercrete —
are —
secrete directly into —
are located –
- hormones
- ductless
- bloodstream and ciruclate all the time
- throughout the body
is a substance secreted by the cell on one part of the body and passed to another part where its effective in – concentrations and its for regulating — and —
- hormones ( to stimulate/excite)
- small concentrations
- growth/ activity
-hormones function as – time regulators and are involved in —
regulation of plasma calcium via hormones secreted by —
- levels of cirulating hormones will – and — in reposes to a stimuli
- level of insulin – in response to blood glucose
- only cells w/ appropriate — will reposed to the hormone
- long term regulators
- heamostaiss
- parathyroid gland
-rise and fall - increase
- receptor
hormones are usually complexed with — such as — and —
- plasma proteins
- steroid and thyroid hormones
neruhoromes/ neurosecretions are hormones that are produced by — and pass down the axon to the — and released into — near the target organ
exampl:
- nerurons
- nerve ending
- special capillaries network
- serotonin
– are hormones produced by varoius parts of the body which has – effect on cells and tissues such as:
. kinin (bradykinin ) for —
. prostaglandin h2 for —-
. gastrin from git for —
. secretin from git for —
. choleocytoskin from git for ..
. adipose tissue as adipocetin for — and resistin for —
- tissue
- local effect
- blood vessel dilator
- inflammatory response
- gastric acid secretion
- regulation of ph in dudrom
- digestion of far and proteins
- glucose regulation and fatty acid catabolism
- inflammation/obesity/T2DM
three types of signalling for hormones:
- endocrine signalling : horomenes act on target cells distant from site of synthesis as: adentocorticode that stimulates the release of steroids
- paracrine ( local regulators ): signalling molecules on the neighbouring cells as serotonin
- autocrine ( local regulators ) for signally the sane cell to amplify the signal as cytokine interleukin 1 for fever
the four major chemical goups for hormones:
1- peptide hormone: long chain of amino acids as: ocytoxin and vasopressin
2- amino acid derivatives: derived from a.a ( tyrosine , trytophron ) as adrenaline
3- steroid hormone: derivates of chlosetol as: testastrione, striven, cortisol
4- fatty acids derivatives : derived from arachodinc acids as: prostaglandins
4 major pathways of mechanisms of actions:
- influencing the rate of synthesis of enzymes or proteins
- altering the rate of enzyme catalysis
- speeding up or slowing down the metabolic pathway
- altering the permability of the cells membrane
two general mechanisms are mostly utilised depending whether the hormone is – or —
hydrophobic: intracellular signalling
hdyrophillic: cell surface signalling
– and – are small lipid soluble molecules that can pass the cell membrane and they enter the —and interact with — to activate or repress specific gene.
the synthesis of certain proteins lead to – we recognise as hormone action
- steroid and thyroid hormone
- nucleas
-receptor - changes
peptide hormones are — soluble and can’t pass the — they attach to receptors on the cells – and don’t enter the — . many receptors will transmit the signal into the cell by different mechanisms but most of them are —
- water
- cell membrane
- surface
- cell
- g-protein coupled receptors ( GPCRs)
binding of the hormone triggers — in the receptor and – protein will be — and moves away from the — . G protein can activate other signalling portions often the —- and atp becomes — and this is a — cascade
- conformational changes
- G protein , activated
- receptor
- adenyl cyclase
- cyclic amp
- phosphorlation
— links the nervous system to the endocrine system and receives input from the – and alters the release of hormones in response and it secretes —
- hypothalamus
- brain
- neurohormones
hormones synthesises in the hypothalamus will be either stored in the — or later for secretion or regulation of hormones
- posterior pitityry gland
- anterior piitury gland
