General IntroductionGeneral Introduction 1. Composition of Endocrine system
endocrine organs
Thyroid glandParathyroid glandAdrenal glandHypophysisPineal body
endocrine structures
islets of Langerhans
corpus luteum
isolated endocrine cells
digestive tract interstitial cells in the testis hilus cells in the ovary
capsule: CTparenchyma: endocrine cells are
arranged in nests/clusters, or cords, or follicles. secrete hormones
2. General structure
interstitium: CT, rich in capillaries
It is the most important method that we identify any endocrine glands in L.M.
There is no duct.( ductless glands )
Exocrine Secretory products are
delivered to lumen via ducts
Endocrine Glands release hormones into blood
or the extracellular matrix
3. Contrast to exocrine glands
paracrine secretion: H into the extracellular matrix. flow from cell to cell by diffusion.
Distance secretion : H into the caps, transported by the blood circulation to distant target cells
Hormones: Chemical messenger secreted into blood and carried to “target cells” where it alters activity.
4. Hormones
Peptide
Protein
Amino acid analogs and derivatives
Classes of Hormones : According to biochemical structure:
nitrogenous-hormone
Steroidhormone
cholesterol derivatives
target cell: any cell that has a corresponding receptor for specific hormone
Hormone + Receptor
* nitrogenous-hormone secreting cell: RER Golgi secretory granules
*steroid-hormone secreting cell: SER mitochondria: with lamellar or tubular cristae lipid droplet: raw materials
Functions of Endocrine system :
Secrete hormones that coordinate and direct activities of target cells/organs
Regulates mood, growth ,development ,metabolism, sexual function, reproduction, blood pressure,etc
Most systems are under combined control of endocrine and nervous systems
•ES and NS = 2 main control systems of body
