Animals rely on two systems for regulation:

Nervous System is a system of nerve cells called neurons. It


consists of a central nervous system (brain and spinal cord)
and peripheral nerves. Typical responses are fast and short
lasting.
Endocrine System is a system of ductless glands that secrete
hormone into the blood. Hormones travel to target tissues.
Typical responses are slow and long lasting.

Human Endocrine
Glands
Ductless glands
transport hormones in
the blood
Duct glands are
exocrine glands that
use tubes to carry the
secretion
(salivary, tears)

Pituitary gland and Hypothalamus serve to link the nervous


system other glands and metabolic functions.

Mechanisms
of hormone
release

(a) Humoral: in response to changing


levels of ions or nutrients in the blood
(b) Neural: stimulation by nerves
(c) Hormonal: stimulation received from
other hormones

Disorders of the
Endocrine System
Acromegaly
An enlargement of the bones of the hands,
feet, and jaws

Addison's disease
Caused by hyposecretion of the hormones
produced by the cortex of the adrenal gland

Cretinism
Condition resulting from a congenital
deficiency of thyroid secretion or
hypothyroidism

Disorders of the Endocrine


System (continued)
Cushings syndrome
Disorder that causes hyperactivity of the
adrenal glands, which is triggered by the
oversecretion of the pituitary hormone ACTH

Diabetes insipidus
From an acquired or inherited decrease in the
antidiuretic hormone secreted by the pituitary

Diabetes mellitus
A disorder of carbohydrate, fat, and protein
metabolism resulting from insufficient insulin
production by the pancreas

Disorders of the Endocrine


System (continued)
Dwarfism
Results from hyposecretion of the growth
hormone of the pituitary gland, which has been
caused by a tumor, infection, genetic factors,
or trauma

Gigantism
An excessive growth of the long bones caused
by hypersecretion of the somatotropic
hormone

Graves disease
Caused by hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis

Disorders of the Endocrine


System (continued)
Hyperparathyroidism
Causes hypercalcemia, an increased
calcium blood level

Hypoglycemia
Results from increased insulin production by
the pancreas

Hypoparathyroidism
A decreased secretion of parathyroid
hormone that causes tetany

Disorders of the Endocrine


System (continued)
Hypothyroidism
Also called Hashimoto's disease, results from an
insufficient production of thyroxine

Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic


hormone (SIAD)
Involves water intoxication and the dilution of
intracellular and extracellular body tissues,
usually resulting from lung cancer

Virilism
Results from increased secretion in the adrenal
glands

Pathology, continued
Adrenal gland
Cushings syndrome (see next pic)
Usually caused by an ACTH-secreting pituitary
tumor
Rarely by tumor of adrenal cortex
Iatrogenic

Addisons disease
Hyposecretion (under secretion) of adrenal cortex
Usually involves cortisol and aldosterone: low
blood glucose and sodium, severe dehydration,
fatigue, loss of appetetie, abdominal pain

GOITER
Enlarged thyroid gland
Results from thyroid hormone
hyposecretion
Due to iodine insufficiency

enlarge

that is easily preventable with iodized
salt
