(adrenal medulla) secrete epinepherine and norepinephrine

Trophic hormones

(which induce growth in target cells); note that some hormones have both tropic and trophic effects on target cells

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH, thyrotropin)—

--ANTERIOR PITUITARY stimulates development of thyroid gland and its secretions, (thyroid hormones); release stimulated by hypothalamic thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH, corticotropin)—

-ANTERIOR PITUITARY stimulates development of adrenal gland and synthesis of various steriod hormones; release is stimulated by hypothalamic corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)

Prolactin (PRL)

-ANTERIOR PITUITARY —stimulates growth of mammary gland tissue, initiates milk production after childbirth, and maintains milk production during breastfeeding Release stimulated by hypothalamic prolactin-releasing hormone Inhibited by prolactin-inhibiting factor (dopamine)

-Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH; gonadotropin)

-ANTERIOR PITUITARY Male—stimulates cells of testes to produce chemicals that bind and concentrate testosterone; under direction of GnRH Female—FSH and LH together trigger production of estrogen; FSH also triggers maturation of ovarian follicles (house developing oocytes)

Mechanisms of Hormone Action: hydrophobic

-Hormone crosses plasma membrane; interacts with receptors in cytosol or nucleus -Hydrophobic hormone forms complex with its receptor; generally interacts with DNA of target cell -Complex exerts effects by changing rate of protein synthesis of one or more proteins

Mechanisms of Hormone Action: hydrophilic -5 steps

-Hydrophilic hormone (first messenger) binds to receptor in plasma membrane -Receptor activates peripheral protein (G-protein in example) -G-protein activates enzyme; enzyme catalyzes formation of second messenger; initiates series of events in cell that leads to changes in its activity -Adenylate cyclase—example of enzyme activated by G-protein second-messenger system; catalyzes formation of second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) -cAMP initiates changes in cell including activation of protein kinases; catalyzes transfer of phosphate group from ATP to another molecule (phosphorylation) -picture on slide 24

Growth hormone (GH; somatotropin) Short-term effects—generally metabolic

Hypothalamic-hypophyseal portal system—

-specialized blood supply; allows both hypothalamus and pituitary to deliver hormones directly to target cells -Tiny capillaries merge in hypothalamus; form larger portal veins that travel through infundibulum -Portal veins lead to second group of capillaries in anterior pituitary gland -Systems like this, in which capillaries are drained by veins that lead to another set of capillaries, are called portal systems

TIERS IDK

1) First tier—neuroendocrine cells of hypothalamus secrete releasing and inhibiting hormones in response to change in homeostatic ________________ (tropic hormones) 2) Second tier—tropic hormones' effect on anterior pituitary; stimulates or inhibits anterior pituitary hormone secretion 3) Third tier—actions of anterior pituitary hormones at target tissues; target tissue glands secrete hormones that can affect various homeostatic variables -Once homeostatic variable that stimulated activity at hypothalamus returns to normal set point, change is detected at hypothalamus; stops secreting tropic hormones -Anterior pituitary changes hormone secretion accordingly; target tissues follow suit and feedback loop is closed

Effects of thyroid hormone three main categories

1) Regulation of metabolic rate and thermoregulation-set basal metabolic rate (amount of energy required by body at rest) 2) Promotion of growth and development: —thyroid hormones are required for normal bone growth, muscle growth, and nervous system development 3) Synergism with sympathetic nervous system— increases in thyroid hormone levels act on target cells of sympathetic nervous system Increases (up-regulate) receptors for sympathetic neurotransmitters Affects regulation of blood pressure, heart rate, and other sympathetic activities

regulation of hormone secretion: feedback loop

1)Stimulus—regulated physiological variable deviates from normal range 2) Receptor—receptors on target cells detect deviation of variable 3) Control center—stimulated control center (often endocrine cell) increases or decreases secretion of particular hormone 4) Effector/response—hormone triggers response in its target cells; moves conditions toward normal range 4) Homeostatic range—as variable returns to its normal range, feedback to control center decreases response

Thyroid Hormone production: 4 steps

1. 1) iodide ions and thyroglobulin are secreted into the colloid 2. 2) iodide ions are converted to iodine atoms that attach to thyroglobulin 3. 3) iodinated thyroglobulin enters the follicle cell by endocytosis and T3 and T4 are cleaved from the molecule in reactions catalyzed by lysosomal enzymes 4. 4) t3 and t4 are released into the blood
