Q

What are the two systems that intergrate meabolic and physiologic functions and allow adjustments to change in external enviornment or stimuli ( homeostsis)

A
  1. Nervous system : Response is quick and direct via AXONS, thru chemical substance called neurotransmitters
  2. Endocrine : response is quick ( epinepherin e/polypeptides) ORslow (steroid) or sustain ( thyroxine) and INDIRECT via blood vessels and the through chemical susbstance -> HORMONES

Q

WHat is the main cell type in the pineal gland and what does it produce

A

pinealocytes produce melatonin (in dark ) and serotonin ( in the day ) which inhibits melatonin synthesis

Serotonin must be converted to melatonin

The precursor to melatonin is serotonin, a neurotransmitter that itself is derived from the amino acid tryptophan. Within the pineal gland, serotonin is acetylated ( by HIOM) and then methylated to yield melatonin
