What are hormones?
|
Products of endocrine glands which are released in the blood or tissue and have influence on organs and tissues that are far from the site of production
|
|
Hypothalamus release two hormones into the neurohypophysis:
|
1. Oxytocin
2. Vasopressin (ADH) |
|
Hypothalamus release:
|
1. Liberines:
TRH, GnRH, GRH, CRH, PRF 2. Statines: Somatostatin, dopamine. Influence on hormone production in adenohypophysis. |
|
Neurohypophysis:
|
1. Unmyelinated nerve fibers with Herring bodies and granules containing ADH (vasopressin) and oxytocin, neurophysin
2. Pituicytes= glial cells, (lipofuscin), and glial fibrillary acidic protein |
|
Function of oxytocin:
|
Increase tonus and cause contraction of the uterine smooth muscle and myoepithelial cells in the ducts of mammary gland
|
|
Function of vasopressin (ADH):
|
Increases resorption of water in collecting ducts of kidney and causes contraction of smooth muscles in small arteries--> increases BP
|
|
Blood supply of adenohypophysis:
|
1. Superior hypophyseal a.- hypothalamus and pituitary gland (portal system)
2. Inferior hypophyseal a. - neurohypophysis |
|
Anterior pituitary gland consists of two general types of cells:
|
1. Chromofobes
2. Chromophils |
|
Chromofobes of ant. pituitary gland:
|
Undifferentiated stem cells and follicular cells (supportive system)
|
|
Chromophils:
|
1. Acidophilic: Growth hormone (GH)
2. Basophilic: ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) 3. Gonadotropic: FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone) |
|
Function of growth hormone:
|
Stimulate growth (anabolism) by IGF1 (somatomedin)
|
|
Function of prolactin:
|
Growth of mammary gland and secretion of milk
|
|
Hyperprolactinemia:
|
Infertility, amenorhea and galactorhea3
|
|
Cells of pineal gland:
|
1. Pinealocytes: production of melatonin
2. Astrocytes: supportive cells |
|
Function of pineal gland:
|
Rhythmic secretory activity of melatonin in reaction to light (melatonin is produced in darkness)
Biological clock: regulation of circadian rhythms Modifies function of endocrine glands |
|
Thyroid gland components:
|
1. Colloid follicles with thyroglobulin
2. Cubic follicular cells: produce thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodotyrosine (T3) 3. Parafollicular cells: Produce calcitonin |
|
Function of thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodotyrosine (T3):
|
Stimulation of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria by:
- resorption in intestine - regulation of lipid metabolism - growth development of CNS |
|
Function of calcitonin from parafollicular cells:
|
Decrease plasma Ca2+ by deposit in bone and release in to urine
|
|
Main steps of thyroxine synthesis:
|
1. Proteosynthesis of thyroglobulin
2. Uptake of iodine from blood by active transport by iodine pump 3. Activation of iodine and its binding to tyrosine in thyreoglobulin (in follicular colloid) 4. Resorption of thyroglobulin and breaking by lysosomes---> secretion of T4 and T3 |
|
Cells of parathyroid gland:
|
1. Chief cells
2. Oxyphilic cells (mitochondrias) |
|
Function of chief cells of parathyroid gland:
|
Production of parathyroid hormone which regulates Ca2+ level in blood by activation of osteoclasts in bone which release Ca2+ in the blood (antagonist of calcitonin)
|
|
Hormones of cortex of suprarenal gland and their functions:
|
1. Mineralcorticoids (aldosteron):
Stimulates resorption of Na+ in the kidneys (are stimulated by angiotensin II) 2. Glucocorticoids (cortisol, corticosteron): Regulation of metabolism and immunity (are stimulated by ACTH) 2. Androgens (dehydroepiandrosteron): Anabolic activity |
|
Hormones of medullar of suprarenal gland and their functions:
|
Epinephrin (80%)
Norepinephrine (20%) Reaction to stress: Increase BP, HF |
|
Pancreas:
|
Exocrine gland: Enzymes
Endocrine gland: Islets of Langerhan`s: control blood glucose level and GIT function |
|
Different cells of pancreas and what they produce:
|
A- cells: Glucagon
B- cells: Insulin D- cells: Somatostatin F- cells: Pancretic polypeptide |
|
DNES (diffuse neuroendocrine system):
|
Regulation of resorption and motility by different hormones:
(gastrin, secretin, GIP, cholecystokinin, motilin, VIP, serotonin, somatostatin, glucagon, substance P and ghrelin) Cells can reach surface of they cannot. Granules are located closely to basal lamina and they are excreted into blood |
|
Hormones from ovaries:
|
Estrogens and progesteron
|
|
Hormone from testis:
|
Androgens
|
|
Hormones from placenta:
|
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), placental lactogen, estrogens and progesteron
|
|
Hormone form heart:
|
Atrial natriuretic hormone
|
|
Hormone form juxtaglomerular apparatus of kidneys:
|
Renin
|
|
Hormones from thymus:
|
Thymosin alfa, thymopoetin, tymolin, thymic humoral factor (stimulates proliferation and differentiation of T lymphocytes)
|
|
Hormones from adipose tissue:
|
Leptin and estrogens
|
