HOW DOES THE HYPOTHALAMUS INTERACT WITH THE PITUITARY GLAND? Hypothalamus: main center that controls the __________________ Lies deep inside the forebrain and connects with the ______________ hypothalamus anterior lobe of pituitary © Cengage Learning 2015 posterior lobe of pituitary
POSTERIOR PITUITARY FUNCTION Neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamus synthesize _______ hormones These hormones are transported along _____in the posterior pituitary An action potential triggers the release of hormone into the _______ Posterior pituitary releases two hormones: ______________(____) ______________ © Cengage Learning 2015
PITUITARY FUNCTION © Cengage Learning 2015
ANTERIOR PITUITARY FUNCTION The anterior pituitary makes ______ hormones and secretes them in response to hormones from the _____________ Anterior pituitary hormones: ____________________________________________ _____ © Cengage Learning 2015 ______________________
HORMONAL GROWTH DISORDERS Growth hormone production surges during _______, causing a growth spurt, then declines with _______secretion of growth hormone during childhood leads to pituitary __________ ______growth hormone during childhood can cause pituitary ________ © Cengage Learning 2015
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE PINEAL GLAND? Pineal gland: lies deep inside the brain; secretes the hormone ______under low-light or dark conditions ______: _____________________ © Cengage Learning 2015
WHAT ARE THYROID AND PARATHYROID GLANDS? Thyroid gland: endocrine gland located in the base of the neck Thyroid hormone (triiodothyronine and thyroxine): increases metabolic activity The anterior pituitary gland hypothalamus regulate thyroid hormone secretion Decline in thyroid hormone causes hypothalamus to secrete thyroid-releasing hormone (TRH) TRH causes the anterior pituitary to secrete thyroidstimulating hormone (TSH) TSH stimulates secretion of thyroid hormone © Cengage Learning 2015
WHAT ARE THYROID AND PARATHYROID GLANDS? STIMULUS TH declines below a set point RESPONSE Hypothalamus 1 TRH Anterior Pituitary 2 TSH Thyroid Gland 3 © Cengage Learning 2015 TH secretion increases and metabolic rate rises. 4

WHAT ARE THE ROLES OF THE ADRENAL GLANDS? Adrenal gland: endocrine gland that is located atop the _________ Adrenal cortex: _________________ Examples: Aldosterone: acts in ________and makes urine more concentrated Cortisol: affects _______and ___________ Adrenal medulla: responds to stimulation by releasing _________and _______into the blood Brings on ______________ © Cengage Learning 2015
WHAT ARE THE ROLES OF THE ADRENAL GLANDS? (CONT’D. ) STIMULUS Blood level of cortisol declines. adrenal cortex adrenal medulla RESPONSE Hypothalamus 1 CRH 4 Anterior Pituitary 2 ACTH Adrenal Cortex Rise of cortisol level in the blood inhibits the secretion of CRH and ACTH. 3 Cortisol secretion increases and has the following effects: Cellular uptake of glucose from blood slows in many tissues, especially muscles (but not in the brain). Protein breakdown accelerates, especially in muscles. Some of the amino acids freed by this process get converted to glucose. © Cengage Learning 2015 kidney Fats in adipose tissue are degraded to fatty acids and enter blood as an alternative energy source, indirectly adrenal cortex adrenal medulla kidney conserving glucose for the brain.
HORMONES, STRESS, AND HEALTH Long-term elevation of cortisol is unhealthy (example: Cushing’s syndrome): Interferes with _____________, and _______function Raises the risk of _________________ Abnormally low levels of cortisol (example: Addison’s disease) ___________, and ___________________ © Cengage Learning 2015
