9 wrz 2014 · Overview of the Endocrine System The endocrine system consists of collections of cells located in tissues scattered throughout the body that produce substancesreleased into the blood (hormones) to ultimately affect the activity and metabolism of target cells. Figure from: Martini, Anatomy & Physiology, Prentice Hall, 2001.
This lecture covers endocrine development, note that a better understanding can be made if you understand the adult function of each endocrine organ (though this will not be covered in the Lecture). Endocrine development is sometimes divided into neuroendocrine and endocrine and is also generally covered piecemeal in all embryology
This Osmosis High-Yield Note provides an overview of Anatomy and Physiology of the Endocrine System essentials. All Osmosis Notes are clearly laid-out and contain striking images, tables, and diagrams to help visual learners understand complex topics quickly and efficiently.
Secretion of hormones is regulated by: 1. Ca2+-dependent exocytosisexocytosis (pituitary hormones, insulin, adrenaline) Ca2+ Synthesis - storage in vesicles - vesicle fusion with the membrane – hormone release. 2. By cleavage of the storage molecules (thyroid hormones – from thyroglobulin). 3. Adrenal steroids: little stor age but massive ...
