    Study Notes

    Section 1: Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland Relationship

    • The hypothalamus and pituitary gland primarily integrate nervous and endocrine functions
    • The posterior pituitary is an extension of the hypothalamus
    • The hypothalamohypophysial tract connects the hypothalamus to the posterior pituitary
    • The hypothalamohypophysial portal system connects the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary
    • The anterior pituitary releases hormones in response to releasing and inhibiting hormones from the hypothalamus

    Section 2: Thyroid Gland

    • The thyroid gland stores hormones extracellularly in follicles
    • It produces hormones in response to sympathetic stimulation
    • Iodine is actively transported into thyroid follicular cells
    • Parafollicular cells secrete calcitonin
    • Calcitonin decreases blood calcium levels

    Section 3: Parathyroid Gland

    • Chief cells in the parathyroid gland secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH)
    • PTH increases blood calcium levels

    Section 4: Adrenal Gland

    • The zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex produces aldosterone
    • The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine
    • Cortisol secretion is primarily regulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)

    Section 5: Pancreas

    • Beta cells in the pancreas produce insulin
    • Glucagon increases blood glucose by stimulating glycogen breakdown in the liver
    • Somatostatin inhibits insulin and glucagon secretion

    Section 6: Hormones of the Reproductive System

    • Testosterone is responsible for male secondary sex characteristics
    • Relaxin increases flexibility of pelvic connective tissue
    • Inhibin inhibits FSH secretion
    • Estrogen and progesterone primarily regulate the menstrual cycle

    Section 7: Pineal Gland and Other Hormones

    • Melatonin influences sleep cycles
    • Melatonin secretion is influenced by light exposure

    Section 8: Hypothalamohypophysial Portal System

    • The hypothalamohypophysial portal system connects the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary
    • Releasing and inhibiting hormones are transported through this system

    Section 9: Regulation of Hormonal Secretion

    • Negative feedback mechanisms inhibit hormone secretion by the hormone itself

    Section 10: Pancreas and Diabetes Mellitus

    • Type 1 diabetes is characterized by inadequate insulin secretion due to autoimmune destruction
    • Type 2 diabetes is associated with reduced cellular response to insulin
    • Alpha cells in the pancreas secrete glucagon
    • Insulin lowers blood glucose levels.

    Section 11: Adrenal Gland Regulation

    • Neural signals from the sympathetic nervous system stimulate the adrenal medulla to release epinephrine
    • Aldosterone promotes sodium retention in the kidneys

    Section 12: Thyroid and Parathyroid Regulation

    • TRH from the hypothalamus stimulates the anterior pituitary to release TSH
    • Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates calcium by increasing blood calcium levels

    Section 13: Hormonal Effects

    • (No specific points to summarize)

    Section 14: Hormonal Targeting and Action

    • Lipid-soluble hormones bind to receptors in the cytoplasm or nucleus
    • T3 and T4 hormones increase metabolic rate

    Final Questions

    • Cortisol inhibits inflammation
    • Cortisol is produced in response to stress
    • Releasing hormones from the hypothalamus affect anterior pituitary hormone secretion
