Study Notes
Endocrine System Overview
- The endocrine system consists of endocrine glands and organs with dual functions.
Endocrine Glands
- Thyroid gland
- Pancreas
- Ovaries
- Testicles
Organs with Dual Functions
- Kidneys: primarily maintain homeostasis, but also secrete hormones.
Receptor Cells and Hormone Functions
- Receptor cells bind to proteins to trigger hormone responses.
- Both exocrine and endocrine functions are present in the body.
Trophic and Non-Trophic Hormones
TRH (Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone)
- Produced in the hypothalamus and travels to the infundibulum.
- Stimulates the anterior pituitary to produce TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) through the hypothalamic-hypophyseal portal system.
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone)
- A trophic hormone, stimulating another endocrine gland (thyroid).
- Triggers the production of thyroid hormones.
Thyroid Hormones
- Increase hormone reactions in almost all cells.
- Non-trophic hormone, directly affecting target cells.
