Chapter 25Chapter 25Hormones
1 HORMONES: AN OVERVIEW
• Hormones are produced by most plants and
animals.
• Animal hormones
– are made and secreted mainly by endocrine glands,
– are usually carried by the circulatory system, and
– communicate regulatory messages to specific sites in the body.

• The endocrine system
– consists of all hormone-secreting cells and
– is the body’s main system for internal chemical regulation.

• Endocrine cells secrete into the bloodstream
hormones that
– can affect many cells in many different body organs but
– only affect target cells, cells that have receptors for that specific hormone.

• There are two general mechanisms by which
hormones trigger changes in target cells:
1. Water-soluble hormones trigger responses without ever entering their target cells.

19 THE HUMAN ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
• The human endocrine system consists of about a
dozen major glands that may have
– only endocrine functions or
– endocrine and non-endocrine functions.
• The major endocrine glands in humans are spread
about the human body.

• Hormones have a wide range of
– target cells and
– effects.

Table 25.1b 25 The Pancreas
• The pancreas produces two antagonistic
hormones that play important roles in managing
the body’s energy supplies:
1. insulin, which reduces blood sugar levels and
2. glucagon, which increases blood sugar levels.

27
• Diabetes mellitus is a serious hormonal disease
in which body cells are unable to absorb glucose
from the blood because either
– there is not enough insulin produced (type 1, or insulin-dependent diabetes) or
– the target cells do not respond normally to insulin (type 2, or non-insulin-dependent diabetes).

28
• Diabetes affects about 8% of all Americans.
• More than 90% of those affected have type 2
diabetes, which is associated with being
– overweight and
– underactive.
• People with diabetes use glucose meters to
measure the amount of glucose in the blood.

The Adrenal Glands
• The adrenal glands are paired structures resting
atop each kidney.
• Each adrenal gland consists of two glands:
1. the central adrenal medulla and
2. the outer adrenal cortex.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
31
• The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and
norepinephrine, hormones that
– enable a rapid, short-term response to stress and
– produce the “fight-or-flight” response.
The Adrenal Glands
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
32
• Stressful stimuli activate nerve cells in the
hypothalamus that send signals to stimulate the
adrenal medulla to secrete
– epinephrine and
– norepinephrine.
The Adrenal Glands

33
• The adrenal cortex
– is also stimulated by the hypothalamus and
– secretes corticosteroid hormones (including glucocorticoids) that provide a slower, longer-lasting response to stress.

39 The Gonads
• The gonads secrete sex hormones that
– affect growth and development and
– regulate
– reproductive cycles and
– sexual behavior.

40
• Males and females have the same three types of
sex hormones:
1. estrogens,
2. progestins, and
3. androgens.
The Gonads

41
• Estrogens
– maintain the female reproductive system and
– promote the development of specific female features, such as breasts and wider hips.
• Progestins, such as progesterone, are primarily
involved in preparing the uterus to support a
developing embryo.
The Gonads

42
• Androgens, mainly testosterone, stimulate the
development and maintenance of the male
reproductive system.
