It is for C_______ and C______________

How does it deliver it's messages?

Communication and Coordination

By hormones released into the bloodstream to target cells that have appropriate receptor sites

What are the 4 most common HORMONES used by the ENDOCRINE system?

Briefly describe hormones.

Insulin - well known w widespread actions in the body

Cortisol - important in response to stress

Thyroid Hormones - unique, requires iodine

Epinephrine - Close relationship to the nervous system

Do ENDOCRINE glands have ducts?

Do EXOCRINE glands have ducts?

Endo - NO

EXOCRINE - YES.

Stress Hormones:

From adrenal medulla and

associated with FIGHT or FLIGHT

Stress Hormone:

Primary Stress hormone from the ADRENAL CORTEX

Stress hormone:

This anterior pituitary hormone is essential for stress response

Metabloic Hormones:

Hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA increases levels of GLUCOSE and other fuels

Metabloic Hormones:

This PANCREATIC hormones promotes storage of ORGANIC fuels

Hormones from endocrine tissue:

This ventral hypothalmic hormones causes the release of FSH and LH

Hormones from endocrine tissue:

From the kidney, this hormone increases production of red blood cells

Hormones from endocrine tissue:

From the atria of the heart, this hormone increases the excretion of Na+

Metabloic Hormones:

The MOST IMPORTANT regulator of METABOLISM for the THYROID gland

Hormone regulators of plasma variables:

Activated in the kidney, this hormones increases Ca2+ uptake from the gut

Hormone regulators of plasma variables:

This pancreatic hormone stimulates production of glucose

Hormone regulators of plasma variables:

This adrenal corticol hormones causes K+ excretion

Hormone regulators of plasma variables:

This parathyroid hormone is the primary regulator of

blood Ca2+ levels
