Regents Biology
Hormones Why are hormones needed?
chemical messages from one body part to cells in other parts of body
communication needed to coordinate whole body
maintaining homeostasis energy production growth development maturation reproduction
growth hormones
Regents Biology
Endocrine System Endocrine system releases hormones
glands which secrete chemical signals into blood
chemicals cause changes in other parts of body
slow, long-lasting responsegrowth hormonessex hormonesresponse hormonesmetabolism hormonesand more….

Regulation by chemical messengers

endocrine gland
Receptor sites

Hormones released by endocrine glands
receptor molecules
hormone carried by blood
neurotransmitter
Regents Biology
Glands Pituitary
many hormones: master gland
Thyroid thyroxine
Pancreas Insulin glucagon
Ovary Estrogen Progesterone
Testes Testosterone

Feedback
Regents Biology
Negative Feedback Response to changed body condition
every time body is high or low from normal level a signal tells the body to make changes that will bring body back to normal level
once body is back to normal level, signal is turned off

Regulation of Blood Sugar

Regents Biology
Reproductive hormones Testosterone
from testes sperm
production & secondary sexual characteristics
Estrogen from ovaries egg production,
preparing uterus for fertilized egg & secondary sexual characteristics
Regents Biology
Sperm production over 100 million produced per day! ~2.5 million released per drop!
Male reproductive system
Regents Biology
spermatocytes
seminiferoustubule
sperm
Regents Biology
Male reproductive system
Testes & epididymis sperm production &
maturation Glands
seminal vesicles, prostate, bulbourethal
produce seminal fluid
nutrient-rich
Regents Biology
Male reproductive system Testicles (Testes)
produces sperm & hormones Scrotum
sac that holds testicles outside of body Vas deferens
tubes for sperm to travel from testes to penis Prostate
• Produces nutrient rich fluid to feed & protect sperm
Regents Biology
Female reproductive system
Regents Biology
Female reproductive system Ovaries
produces eggs & hormones Uterus
nurtures fetus; lining builds up each month Oviduct (Fallopian tubes)
tubes for eggs to travel from ovaries to uterus Cervix
opening to uterus, dilates 10 cm for birthing baby Vagina
birth canal for birthing baby

Regents Biology
Female hormones FSH & LH
released from pituitary stimulates egg development & hormone release peak release = release of egg (ovulation)
Estrogen released from ovary cells around developing egg stimulates growth of lining of uterus decreasing levels causes menstruation
Progesterone released from “corpus luteum” in ovaries
cells that used to take care of developing egg stimulates blood supply to lining of uterus decreasing levels causes menstruation

Any Questions??
Regents Biology
What do they do? Maintain homeostasis
blood sugar level temperature control
Start a new process growth fetal development sexual development
Body Temperature
