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
