Endocrine System

Endocrine System – all organs that tissues that produce hormones
Endocrine / Exocrine Glands

Hormone – chemical that is secreted into extracelluar fluid and carried by the blood
Act as a distance from the source
Only target with a receptor

Paracrine Regulators – DO NO TRAVEL IN BLOOD, allows cells of organs to related to each other

Pheromones – chemical released into the air (environment) to communicate among people

Neurohormones – i.e. norepinephrine – heart, liver, blood vessels during stress

Directly or Indirectly – hormones are released by the nervous system


Classes of Hormones

Hydrophilic Hormones- linked to second messenger protein called G PROTEINS (increase the second messenger molecules)
Second Messenger Stystems – many cAMP, DAG, IP3 ,

Lipophlic Hormones – pass thought the target cell’s plasma membrane and binds to intracellular receptor proteins, then binds to parts of the DNA, activates genes and regulates target cells

Renal vein and artery – connected to kidneys
Mesenteric Veins – connects to intestines

Arteries – away from heart ( A – AWAY)
Views – back to heart (deoxygenized)

Pulmonary circulation – move btw heart and lungs
Systemic circulation – moves blood btw heart and rest of the body

The Heart

Aorta – major artery of the systematic circulation, carries oxygen rich blood from the LEFT ventricle to all parts of the body

Coronary Arteries – supply heart itself

Superior Vena Cava – drains UPPER body
Inferior Vena Cava – drains LOWER body

Atrium – 2 parts (causes no blood to mix)

Pulmonary Veins – return rich oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.

Contraction of the Heart

Stimulated by membrane depolarization

Autorthymic fibers – SA NODE ( sinoartial node) located in the right atrium, acts as the PACEMAKER for the rest of the heart, SPONTANEOUS ACTION POTENTIALS faster than other cells, WITHOUT NEURAL ACTIVATION

ATRIOVENTRICULAR – AV NODE, depolarization travels quickly over both ventriles by a network of fibers called the ATRIOVENTRICULAR bundle, aka (BUNDLE OF HIS)---information then relayed to PURKINJE FIBERS

PURKINJE FIBERS – directly stimulate the myocardial cells of the left and right ventricles causing the contraction

Blood Vessels

Arterioles – finest, microscopic branches of the arterial tree

Capillaries – blood from arterioles
Venules – blood is collected which leads to large vessesls *VEINS (back to heart)

Capillaries – MADE UP OF:
One layer of endothemlium – allows rapid exchange of gases and metabolites btw blood and body cells

Arteries and arterioles- MADE UP OF:

***Vasoconstriction – contraction of smooth muscle layer, increased resistance and decrease flow
***Vasodilation – relaxing smooth muscle layer – decreasing resistance and increasing flow








Veins and Vensules – MADE UP OF:
Thinnest layer of smooth muscle (smoother muscle than arteries), work with skeletal muscles, ONE WAY contraction called VENOUS VALVES

NOT Being stimulated – resting membrane potential (avg testing of -70(mV)
****Inside of cell is positively charged because of Sodium-potassium pump and Ion leakage channels ***

Resting membrane Potential

Sodium-potassium pump – every 3 Na+ (sodium ions) pumped out brings in 2 potassium ions (K+) – concentration gradient = high K+, low Na+ inside the cell and High Na+ and low K+ concentrations outside the cell
Ion leakage channels – leaks more K+ than Na+
