1Hormone: must travel in the [blank_start]blood[blank_end].
[blank_start]Endocrine[blank_end] gland cells secrete hormones ([blank_start]chemical[blank_end] messengers) which are carried in the [blank_start]blood[blank_end] to the [blank_start]target cells[blank_end].
[blank_start]Endocrine[blank_end] glands: many, [blank_start]varied[blank_end] locations in body but [blank_start]common[blank_end] function, secrete hormones which will then travel to [blank_start]other[blank_end] locations
[blank_start]Target[blank_end] cell: has [blank_start]specific[blank_end] receptor for a hormone.
Receptor: specifically [blank_start]shaped[blank_end] for hormones ([blank_start]lock and key[blank_end] fit)- Ablood

2Specificity of Hormone Action
Once hormones are released, there is [blank_start]no further[blank_end] control over [blank_start]where[blank_end] it goes or what [blank_start]cells[blank_end] it will encounter. [blank_start]Target[blank_end] cells show [blank_start]specific[blank_end] receptors (protein) either on [blank_start]cell surface[blank_end] or [blank_start]intracellular[blank_end] receptors in [blank_start]cytoplasm[blank_end] or [blank_start]nucleus[blank_end]. [blank_start]Chemical structure[blank_end] of hormone and receptor allows them to bind closely and that causes a [blank_start]response[blank_end] in the cells → this creates [blank_start]specificity[blank_end] of hormone response- Ano further

3Water soluble hormones can be [blank_start]polypeptide chains[blank_end] or [blank_start]catecholamines like adrenaline[blank_end]. They make up about 75% of hormones. They are [blank_start]soluble in water[blank_end] which means they [blank_start]can travel dissolved in blood[blank_end] but [blank_start]cannot cross cell membranes[blank_end]. This means they [blank_start]can be made in advance and stored[blank_end] and their receptors are located [blank_start]on the target cell membrane[blank_end]. The binding [blank_start]activates a second messenger in the cell[blank_end] and causes [blank_start]a cascade of changes in the cell[blank_end]. It [blank_start]activates existing proteins in the cell[blank_end] which means it [blank_start]occurs very fast[blank_end], from [blank_start]milliseconds to minutes[blank_end].
Lipid soluble hormones include [blank_start]steroids[blank_end] or [blank_start]thyroid hormones (amino acid derivative)[blank_end]. They are [blank_start]not soluble in water[blank_end] which means they [blank_start]travel in blood bound to carrier protein[blank_end] but [blank_start]can diffuse easily through cell membrane[blank_end]. [blank_start]Steroids, made from cholesterol[blank_end], are made [blank_start]as required and not stored[blank_end]. The exception is [blank_start]thyroid hormones[blank_end], which are made in [blank_start]thyroid cells[blank_end] and [blank_start]stored until required[blank_end]. This is possible because they are [blank_start]an amino acid derivative.[blank_end] Their receptors are [blank_start]intracellular in cytoplasm or nucleus[blank_end]. The binding [blank_start]alters gene transcription in the cell[blank_end] and causes [blank_start]it to transcribe new mRNA[blank_end]. It [blank_start]creates new proteins through translation[blank_end] which means it [blank_start]is a slower process[blank_end], from [blank_start]half an hour to days[blank_end].- Apolypeptide chains

5Hormone secretion is mostly controlled by [blank_start]negative feedback[blank_end].
1. [blank_start]Control variable[blank_end] goes out of [blank_start]reference range[blank_end]
2. [blank_start]Sensor[blank_end] detects deviation and causes [blank_start]hormone[blank_end] to be released
3. Once [blank_start]variable[blank_end] is back in [blank_start]reference range[blank_end], hormone is [blank_start]switched off[blank_end]
4. [blank_start]Very tight[blank_end] control of hormone in blood through [blank_start]negative feedback[blank_end]
[blank_start]Removal of hormones from blood[blank_end] is also controlled: can be broken down [blank_start]by enzymes[blank_end] or removed through [blank_start]kidneys[blank_end]
[blank_start]Too much or too little[blank_end] hormone can lead to endocrine disorders.- Anegative feedback

6The pancreas is found in the [blank_start]abdominal cavity[blank_end] under [blank_start]stomach[blank_end]. It interacts with the early part of the [blank_start]small intestine[blank_end] = duodenum. The endocrine gland is made up of [blank_start]pancreatic islets[blank_end].

7The normal blood glucose concentration is fasting: [blank_start]3.5[blank_end] - [blank_start]6[blank_end] mmol/L or fed: [blank_start]3.5[blank_end] - [blank_start]8[blank_end] mmol/L
Glucose is produced from [blank_start]carbohydrates[blank_end], broken down by digestive [blank_start]enzymes[blank_end] in GI tract, absorbed into [blank_start]blood[blank_end]
Loss of function can occur if the level gets too [blank_start]high or low[blank_end]. We only eat [blank_start]intermittently[blank_end] but we use fuel [blank_start]continuously[blank_end] so blood glucose concentration [blank_start]changes[blank_end] throughout the day. Glucose is the only fuel the [blank_start]brain[blank_end] uses.- A3.5

10When blood glucose concentration increases above the reference range i.e. in the [blank_start]fed[blank_end] state, [blank_start]insulin[blank_end] is secreted from [blank_start]beta[blank_end] cells of the pancreas. It increases [blank_start]cellular uptake[blank_end] of nutrients, [blank_start]anabolic[blank_end] metabolism ([blank_start]synthesis[blank_end] of glycogen, protein and fat) and breaks down [blank_start]food to be stored for later[blank_end].

Integrator: [blank_start]beta cells (as well)[blank_end]Target cells: [blank_start]muscle, adipose cells and liver[blank_end]
[blank_start]Negative feedback[blank_end] loop.
There is also [blank_start]feedforward[blank_end] for insulin secretion, when [blank_start]food enters GI pancreas secretes insulin[blank_end] ([blank_start]physiological feedforward[blank_end]), [blank_start]before[blank_end] blood glucose levels have increased.
Pancreas: senses [blank_start]increased blood glucose concentration[blank_end] and secretes [blank_start]insulin without input brain input[blank_end]
[blank_start]Muscle[blank_end] cells: increases uptake of [blank_start]glucose and amino acids[blank_end], increases [blank_start]glycogen and protein[blank_end] synthesis
[blank_start]Adipose[blank_end] cells: increases uptake of [blank_start]glucose[blank_end], increases [blank_start]fat[blank_end] synthesis
[blank_start]Liver[blank_end]: stops [blank_start]glucose output, increases glucose uptake[blank_end], increases [blank_start]glycogen and fat[blank_end] synthesis
Insulin: is the [blank_start]only[blank_end] hormone that can [blank_start]reduce[blank_end] blood glucose concentration, no back up system
When blood glucose concentration decreases below the reference range i.e. in the [blank_start]fasted[blank_end] state, [blank_start]glucagon[blank_end] is secreted from [blank_start]alpha[blank_end] cells of the pancreas. It increases [blank_start]mobilisation[blank_end] of nutrients, [blank_start]catabolic[blank_end] metabolism ([blank_start]breakdown[blank_end] of glycogen, protein and fat) and breaks down [blank_start]stored fuel releasing glucose into blood[blank_end].

Note: [blank_start]Growth hormone, adrenaline and cortisol[blank_end] also [blank_start]increase[blank_end] blood glucose concentration. [blank_start]Ketones[blank_end] can be used as a back-up fuel source by [blank_start]some[blank_end] cells.- Afed

11Diabetes symptoms: [blank_start]high blood glucose[blank_end] (hyperglycaemia), [blank_start]glucose in urine[blank_end] (glycosuria), [blank_start]large urine volume[blank_end] (polyuria), [blank_start]thirst[blank_end] (polydipsia), [blank_start]hunger[blank_end] (polyphagia)
Type 1: Normally diagnosed in [blank_start]childhood[blank_end] so sometimes called [blank_start]juvenile[blank_end] diabetes. [blank_start]No[blank_end] insulin so “[blank_start]insulin dependent[blank_end]” diabetes.
Type 2: Is normally [blank_start]preventable[blank_end]. Treatment includes [blank_start]lifestyle changes[blank_end] as well as medications. Risk factors include: [blank_start]Age[blank_end], [blank_start]Obesity[blank_end]. [blank_start]Resistant to[blank_end] insulin → can become [blank_start]insulin dependent[blank_end]. [blank_start]Hyperglycaemia[blank_end] but different metabolic profile to Type 1 e.g less [blank_start]fat[blank_end] breakdown and [blank_start]ketone[blank_end] production

12Pituitary gland has two parts:
[blank_start]posterior[blank_end] lobe - neurohypophysis ([blank_start]extension of the hypothalamus[blank_end])
[blank_start]anterior[blank_end] lobe - adenohypophysis ([blank_start]typical endocrine tissue[blank_end])
It weighs about [blank_start]half a gram[blank_end], is located [blank_start]at the base of the brain[blank_end] and is attached to the [blank_start]hypothalamus[blank_end]. [blank_start]The hypothalamus[blank_end] controls the [blank_start]secretion of pituitary hormones[blank_end]. Some pituitary hormones stimulate [blank_start]target cells[blank_end] and some stimulate the [blank_start]secretion of hormones[blank_end] by other endocrine glands- Aanterior

13Mechanism for posterior pituitary hormone secretion
Stimulus: [blank_start]neural input[blank_end] to hypothalamus
Hypothalamus: signals the posterior pituitary to release stored hormones by [blank_start]neural stimulation[blank_end]
Hormones: are made in the [blank_start]hypothalamus[blank_end], [blank_start]travel down the axon[blank_end] and stored [blank_start]in posterior pituitary until required[blank_end], released into blood ([blank_start]peptide[blank_end] hormones):
- [blank_start]Antidiuretic[blank_end] hormone stimulates [blank_start]the kidneys to reabsorb/conserve water[blank_end]
- [blank_start]Oxytocin[blank_end] stimulates [blank_start]uterus contraction in childbirth[blank_end] and [blank_start]milk release for breastfeeding[blank_end]
Mechanism for anterior pituitary hormone secretion
Stimulus: [blank_start]neural input[blank_end] into hypothalamus
Hypothalamus: signals the anterior pituitary to release hormones by [blank_start]hormonal stimulation[blank_end]
Hormones: are made in the [blank_start]anterior pituitary by specific cells[blank_end], until [blank_start]signal comes from hypothalamus[blank_end], released into blood ([blank_start]peptide[blank_end] hormones):
- Anterior pituitary hormones [blank_start]promote or inhibit production of[blank_end] hormones
- Hormone binds to receptor on membrane of [blank_start]endocrine cell[blank_end] and another hormone is secreted e.g. [blank_start]prolactin[blank_end], [blank_start]growth hormone[blank_end]- Aneural input

14Growth Hormone
[blank_start]Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH)[blank_end] promotes release of [blank_start]Growth Hormone (GH)[blank_end][blank_start]Somatostatin (SS)[blank_end] inhibits release of [blank_start]GH[blank_end]
GH has direct [blank_start]metabolic effects[blank_end] and indirect [blank_start]effects on growth[blank_end].
Metabolic effects:
- stimulates [blank_start]protein synthesis (muscle)[blank_end]- increases [blank_start]blood glucose concentration[blank_end] by stimulating [blank_start]glucose synthesis[blank_end] (in [blank_start]liver[blank_end]) and inhibiting [blank_start]cellular uptake of glucose[blank_end] (in [blank_start]muscle[blank_end])
- increases [blank_start]fat[blank_end] breakdown and [blank_start]free fatty acid[blank_end] mobilisation (from [blank_start]fat cells[blank_end])
It also causes release of [blank_start]Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1)[blank_end] from [blank_start]the liver[blank_end]. [blank_start]IGF-1[blank_end] has a [blank_start]direct[blank_end] effect promoting the growth of [blank_start]bones, muscles and other tissues[blank_end] by stimulating [blank_start]cell division[blank_end].
GH has a long-term effect on [blank_start]growth[blank_end] and a short-term effect on [blank_start]metabolism[blank_end]
Growth hormone release is highest when you are [blank_start]sleeping[blank_end]. Concentrations are higher in [blank_start]children[blank_end] than [blank_start]adults[blank_end] with a peak period during [blank_start]puberty[blank_end].- AGrowth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH)

17The Thyroid gland is located on the [blank_start]anterior and lateral[blank_end] surfaces of the [blank_start]trachea[blank_end], just below the [blank_start]larynx[blank_end]. It is made up of [blank_start]spherical[blank_end] sacs called [blank_start]follicles[blank_end] surrounded by [blank_start]follicular cells[blank_end], [blank_start]blood vessels[blank_end] and [blank_start]parafollicular cells[blank_end]. It secretes [blank_start]thyroid[blank_end] hormone and [blank_start]calcitonin[blank_end].
The parathyroid is [blank_start]posterior[blank_end] to thyroid, secretes [blank_start]parathyroid[blank_end] hormone.- Aanterior and lateral

18Thyroid Hormone Synthesis
Thyroid hormone is [blank_start]lipid[blank_end] soluble [blank_start]but it is made ahead and stored[blank_end]. [blank_start]Follicle[blank_end] cells release [blank_start]protein[blank_end] called [blank_start]thyroglobulin (TGB)[blank_end] into [blank_start]follicle[blank_end]. [blank_start]Iodine[blank_end] (from diet) binds to tyrosine in [blank_start]TGB[blank_end] then moves into [blank_start]follicular cells[blank_end]. Two types: [blank_start]T3[blank_end] (active form) and [blank_start]T4[blank_end] (more plentiful form). Number is number of [blank_start]iodine[blank_end] bonded.
When signal comes, [blank_start]thyroid hormones detach from TGB[blank_end] and [blank_start]travel bound to carrier protein[blank_end] ([blank_start]thyroid-binding globulin - TBG[blank_end]) to target cells. Receptor [blank_start]in nucleus[blank_end], [blank_start]T3[blank_end] receptor, already bound to [blank_start]specific DNA site[blank_end] → ready for [blank_start]transcription and translation[blank_end] → [blank_start]protein[blank_end] to have action → one key example is [blank_start]sodium-potassium pump[blank_end] → increases energy use at rest. The response time is [blank_start]45 minutes - days[blank_end].- Alipid

19Actions of Thyroid Hormone
Required for normal:
1. [blank_start]Alertness[blank_end]
2. [blank_start]Growth[blank_end]
3. [blank_start]Metabolism[blank_end]:
- increases [blank_start]body heat[blank_end] production (increases [blank_start]oxygen consumption and ATP hydrolysis[blank_end])
- stimulates [blank_start]fat[blank_end] mobilisation, decreases [blank_start]triglyceride and cholesterol levels[blank_end]
- stimulates [blank_start]carbohydrate[blank_end] metabolism
- increased [blank_start]proteolysis[blank_end], predominantly from [blank_start]muscle[blank_end]
Basal Metabolic Rate
[blank_start]BMR[blank_end] is the body’s rate of [blank_start]energy expenditure[blank_end] under basal conditions:
Person is [blank_start]awake, at physical and mental rest[blank_end], [blank_start]lying down, no muscle movement[blank_end], at [blank_start]a comfortable temperature[blank_end] and is [blank_start]fasted (12-18 h)[blank_end] → how much energy you need to be alive- AAlertness

20Too much thyroid hormone ([blank_start]hypersecretion[blank_end])
e.g. [blank_start]Graves Disease[blank_end] ~50-80% of hyperthyroid conditions
Symptoms: [blank_start]High[blank_end] metabolic rate, Weight [blank_start]loss[blank_end], [blank_start]Heat[blank_end] intolerant, [blank_start]Increased[blank_end] heart rate, [blank_start]Nervousness, Hair loss[blank_end], [blank_start]Thyroid swelling, bulging eyes[blank_end]
To diagnose [blank_start]Graves[blank_end] there are two common tests:
- measure [blank_start]Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin (TSI)[blank_end] → too [blank_start]much[blank_end] thyroid hormone negatively feedbacks so [blank_start]low levels[blank_end] of [blank_start]thyroid stimulating[blank_end] hormones
- Radioactive iodine scan to look for [blank_start]accumulation of iodine in thyroid[blank_end].
Not enough thyroid hormone ([blank_start]hyposecretion[blank_end])
e.g. In adults: [blank_start]myxedema[blank_end]
[blank_start]Low[blank_end] metabolic rate, Weight [blank_start]gain[blank_end], [blank_start]Cold[blank_end] intolerant, [blank_start]Lethargic[blank_end], [blank_start]Slow[blank_end] heart rate
e.g. In newborns: [blank_start]cretinism[blank_end]
Same as adults plus [blank_start]Growth is retarded[blank_end], [blank_start]Brain development[blank_end] is inhibited
Caused by: Lack of [blank_start]iodine[blank_end] in mother’s diet
Iodine Deficiency Disorder (aka Simple [blank_start]Goitre[blank_end])
Thyroid gland [blank_start]cannot produce[blank_end] thyroid hormone ([blank_start]TH[blank_end]) without iodine, [blank_start]TRH and TSH[blank_end] secretion [blank_start]increase[blank_end] to stimulate the thyroid gland to make more TH, [blank_start]overstimulation[blank_end] of thyroid gland → [blank_start]growth[blank_end] of thyroid gland
New Zealand has low levels of iodine in soil therefore low levels of iodine in fruits and vegetables so have iodised table salt and now more recently iodised salt in commercial bread to try and reduce iodine deficiency.- Ahypersecretion

22Calcium is very important for many physiological functions therefore concentration is very tightly controlled, [blank_start]2.2-2.6[blank_end] mmol/L total plasma concentration. Calcium is a dietary requirement as we lose about 1000mg per day, so need to replace it. [blank_start]Bone[blank_end] is the major store of calcium, immediate adjustments can be made by rapid exchanges between [blank_start]bone and blood[blank_end]. Normally a balance exists between [blank_start]build-up and breakdown of bone[blank_end]. Two hormones are involved in calcium regulation: [blank_start]parathyroid hormone (PTH)[blank_end] and [blank_start]calcitonin[blank_end]. They have opposite effects on blood calcium concentration.
Both act on bone (have receptors on bone cells) to either [blank_start]increase bone breakdown[blank_end] (PTH) when calcium levels are [blank_start]low[blank_end] or [blank_start]decrease bone breakdown[blank_end] (calcitonin) when calcium levels are [blank_start]high[blank_end]. This is [blank_start]NOT controlled[blank_end] by the hypothalamus.- A2.2-2.6

24Hypocalcaemia pushes RMP [blank_start]closer to threshold[blank_end] → [blank_start]Increased excitability[blank_end] of the nervous system
Leads to spontaneous [blank_start]muscle tremors, spasms (tetany)[blank_end] because random local potentials are [blank_start]more[blank_end] likely to go over threshold. Begins as plasma Ca2+ concentration falls [blank_start]below 2.2[blank_end] mmol/L. [blank_start]Under 1.9[blank_end] mmol/L get [blank_start]paraesthesia[blank_end] (tingling/ burning sensation) in hands and face, [blank_start]muscle cramps[blank_end], and in some cases the muscles of the [blank_start]larynx[blank_end] may contract tightly (laryngospasm), which can shut off air flow and cause [blank_start]suffocation and DEATH[blank_end]Hypocalcaemia can result from:
- [blank_start]Vitamin D[blank_end] deficiency
- [blank_start]Diarrhoea[blank_end]
- [blank_start]Thyroid[blank_end] tumours → overproduction of [blank_start]calcitonin[blank_end]
- Underactive [blank_start]parathyroid glands[blank_end], [blank_start]parathyroid gland removal[blank_end] (hypoparathyroidism)
- [blank_start]Pregnancy and lactation[blank_end] → babies steal milk so mothers die
Hypercalcaemia
Pushes RMP [blank_start]further away from threshold[blank_end] → [blank_start]decreased responsiveness[blank_end] of the nervous system
Nerve and muscle cells [blank_start]less responsive and excitable[blank_end]. At [blank_start]> 3[blank_end] mmol/L can lead to [blank_start]depression[blank_end] of the nervous system, [blank_start]emotional[blank_end] disturbances, [blank_start]muscle[blank_end] weakness, [blank_start]sluggish[blank_end] reflexes. Once plasma levels are [blank_start]> 3.5[blank_end] mmol/L can lead to [blank_start]cardiac arrest → DEATH[blank_end]- Afurther away from threshold

30Cortisol is released in response to stress, but also has non-stress neural inputs e.g. [blank_start]normal day-night rhythm[blank_end] and [blank_start]low blood glucose[blank_end]. Cortisol levels [blank_start]fluctuate[blank_end] throughout the day and are [blank_start]highest on waking[blank_end]. Cortisol helps cope with stress and maintain [blank_start]normal blood pressure[blank_end], but over time, it suppresses the [blank_start]immune system[blank_end].
It is a [blank_start]steroid[blank_end] hormone which means we [blank_start]can’t store it, produce it as required[blank_end]. It travels in bloodstream [blank_start]bound to carrier protein[blank_end], [blank_start]passes through membrane of target cell[blank_end], it has a receptor [blank_start]in the cytoplasm then moves into nucleus[blank_end] where it [blank_start]activates specific genes[blank_end]. [blank_start]mRNA → protein → effect → slow[blank_end].
Cortisol: increases [blank_start]fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism[blank_end] to [blank_start]maintain[blank_end] blood glucose. It also affects [blank_start]immune response, BP, HR, CNS activation[blank_end]. And it has anti-inflammatory actions e.g. hydrocortisone cream.
Target cells:
Muscle: increase [blank_start]protein breakdown[blank_end], decrease [blank_start]glucose uptake[blank_end]
Fat: increase [blank_start]fat breakdown[blank_end], decrease [blank_start]glucose uptake[blank_end]

31Adrenaline is secreted as part of the [blank_start]sympathetic[blank_end] nervous system’s response to stress.
Hypothalamus [blank_start]sympathetic[blank_end] centre:
1. [blank_start]sympathetic[blank_end] [blank_start]presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons[blank_end], to [blank_start]sympathetic target cell[blank_end], neurotransmitter is [blank_start]noradrenaline[blank_end]
2. [blank_start]sympathetic[blank_end] [blank_start]presynaptic neuron[blank_end] to [blank_start]adrenal medulla[blank_end] which releases [blank_start]adrenaline as hormone in bloodstream[blank_end], travels to [blank_start]sympathetic target cell[blank_end]
Adrenaline is a [blank_start]peptide[blank_end] hormone, so it is [blank_start]stored in adrenal medulla until needed[blank_end]. It binds to a receptor [blank_start]on membrane of target cell[blank_end] and [blank_start]acts by a second messenger system[blank_end].
[blank_start]Neural[blank_end] signal ([blank_start]fast[blank_end]) → [blank_start]releases stored[blank_end] adrenaline ([blank_start]fast[blank_end]) → [blank_start]second messenger system quickly[blank_end] changes activity in cell ([blank_start]fast[blank_end]) → [blank_start]FAST[blank_end]
Target cells:
Metabolic: [blank_start]Muscle, liver and fat[blank_end]: [blank_start]Increases breakdown[blank_end] of [blank_start]glycogen to glucose[blank_end] and [blank_start]fat to fatty acids[blank_end].

32Blood Loss
1. Activation of Platelets and the Coagulation Cascade → clot formation and cessation of blood loss
2. Changes to heart rate, cardiac contractility and vascular tone……
[blank_start]Baroreceptor[blank_end] reflex increases heart rate and force of contraction.
Nerve impulses also sent from brain to [blank_start]blood vessels[blank_end] (effectors) causing them to [blank_start]constrict[blank_end] ands [blank_start]increase[blank_end] arterial BP and venous return to heart, [blank_start]diversion[blank_end] of blood away from ‘non- essential’ organs.
Effects: look [blank_start]pale[blank_end] because blood flow directed [blank_start]away from[blank_end] skin
[blank_start]Sweating[blank_end] because sweat glands [blank_start]activated[blank_end] by sympathetic nervous system.
[blank_start]Increased[blank_end] heart rate to compensate for [blank_start]low[blank_end] blood volume.
3. Arterioles in the kidney detect [blank_start]reduced[blank_end] BP
Kidney then initiates a series of events leading to the [blank_start]secretion of various hormones[blank_end] from specific organs which have several effects that help to restore BP and volume via the following means:
[blank_start]Constriction[blank_end] of arteries and veins
Na+ and water [blank_start]reabsorption[blank_end] by kidneys

33Insulin can be thought of as signalling that the body is [blank_start]fed[blank_end]. It [blank_start]promotes[blank_end] uptake and storage of nutrients e.g. Glucose, amino acids and fats. It [blank_start]prevents[blank_end] breakdown and use of stored fuels. Conversely, if there is no insulin then the body behaves as if it is [blank_start]starved[blank_end].
