Study Notes
Stress, Hormones, and Glands
- Stress can be physical, psychological, or a combination of both
- The hypothalamus controls the general adaptation syndrome and regulates secretion of cortisol, glucagon, growth hormone, and antidiuretic hormone in response to stress
- Hypercortisolism, thyroid hormone disorders, and growth hormone clinical applications are discussed
- The effects of growth hormone disorders on life-span changes, endocrine glands, muscular strength, and other physiological factors are detailed
- The adrenal cortex produces mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and androgens, which play essential roles in regulating sodium and potassium levels, resisting stress, and controlling immune response
- The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine under stress, aiding the body's resistance to stress
- The pancreatic islets contain alpha cells (secreting glucagon), beta cells (secreting insulin), delta cells (secreting somatostatin), and F-cells (secreting pancreatic polypeptide)
- The ovaries and testes produce sex hormones and other substances related to the development and maintenance of sexual characteristics and normal reproductive functions
- The pineal gland secretes melatonin in a diurnal rhythm, linked to the dark-light cycle, and is linked to seasonal affective disorder
