Endocrine Chapter 6
Endocrine System for Massage Therapy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Endocrine System | comprised of cells, glads, tissues that secrete substances into the internal environment. |
| Endocrine Glands | Secrete directly into internal environment. Like a sponge. |
| Exocrine Glands | Secrete thru ducts (sweat glands and stomach acid). Like a toothpaste tube. |
| Hormones | Chemicals that w/the nervous system help regulate body functions & manage homeostasis. |
| Are Hormones secreted by endocrine or exocrine glands? | Endocrine |
| Target Cells | Cells that hormones act on |
| Secreted into interstitial fluid, picked up by the bloodstream, delivered to target organ where it binds to the receptor of the cell | Hormone |
| Glands of the system | (9) Adrenal, Ovaries, Pancreas, Parathyroid, Pineal, Pituitary, Testes, Thymus, Thyroid |
| FUNCTIONS | Regulate metabolic processes; rate of reaction, get stuff thru membrane, water/electrolyte balance, BP. Regulation of most autonomic functions involving metabolism, growth, & developement. Regulated by (neg) feedback loops |
| 2 main types of hormone chemicals | Steroids-synthesized from cholestrol (a lipid), Non-steroids - usually from a protein. |
| How these hormones work | Hormones released from a gland into interstitial space Goes to bloodstream Bloodstream takes hormone to target organ Hormone binds to specific receptor on cell |
| Hypothalamus | Tells the Pituitary to release hormones. Pituitary releases hormones that stimulate other glands to release hormones. These are called tropic hormones - Nervous System |
| Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) | Goes to thyroid Stimulates the release of T3 (triiodothyronine) & T4 (thyroxine) These hormones regulate metabolism Hyper/Hypo thyroidism |
| Human Growth Hormone (hGH) | Not a tropic hormone Goes to bones/mm’s & liver Causes cells to grow/divide faster, metabolism Examples: can take in pill form but it is not good for you. BGH bovine growth hormone in milk |
| Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) | Tropic Goes to the adrenal cortex of the adrenal glands Stimulates adrenals to release corticoid hormones Released under stress (metabolism of glucose, decreases inflammation |
| Posterior Pituitary | Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH) Goes to kidney and causes them to save water Diet coke, alcohol & caffeine are diuretics Cause you to loose water |
| Adrenals | Norepinephrine/Epinephrine Aldosterone Saves Na+ (to indirectly save water) in the kidney When water is conserved BP goes up |
| Pancreas | Insulin Decreases glucose levels in the blood Diabetes-state of hyperglycemia Glucagon Increase glucose levels in the blood |
| Pineal | Melatonin Regulates circadian rhythms Helps you fall asleep Released in the absence of light |
| Fight or Flight Response | Fight or Flight Response Done by sympathetic portion of the autonomic NS Alarm reaction Adrenal medulla releases hormones epinephrine &norepinephrine |
| What Happens during Fight or Flight? | Heart rate, glucose level, BP increases Dilates air passages in bronchi to help with short-term stress |
| Stages of Fight or Flight | ALARM Resistance Exhaustion |
| Long-term stress | Glucocorticoids released (cortisol) Decreases inflammation, extra energy Resistance stage. If this continues too long, you get exhausted Get sick Autoimmune disorders |
