This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: endocrine system, Homeostasis via Autocrine, endocrine glands such as Adrenal glands Medulla secretes adrenalin norepinephrine cortecx sec retes Glucocorticoids - cortisol aldosteronen - outer layer - regulates blood volume and pressure Androgens - makle sex hormones, paracrine via local vicinity or tissue, endocrine ???? hormones, endocrine glands such as pineal - secretes melatonin regulates sleep patterns hypothothalamus that release 'releasing' hormones to stimulate the anterior pituitary anterior pituitary (glandular tissue) posterior pituitary (neural tissue) Oxytocin and ADH Thyroid (TSH) thyroxine and triiodothyronine Adrenals (ACTH ) A Growth Hormone (GH) Prolactin (PL) Gonadotrophins - FSh, LH Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (MSH) stimulates the release of melanin from melanocytes, hormones via endocrine glands, homeostatic negative feedback control eg body temp, endocrine glands such as posterior pituitary oxytocin ADH is inhibited by Alcohol tricks you into thinking you are over hydrated, Homeostasis via paracrine, effectors cause a response like dialate skin blood vessels to dissapate heat, hormones acts on all body cells that heve a receptor for the hormone on the cell surface, endocrine interacts with Nervous system, homeostatic negative feedback control eg blood Ph, endocrine interacts with homeostatic negative feedback control, body temp sensor skin and hypothalamus (thermo regulatory centre), Homeostasis via endocrine endocrine, Autocrine is within cell communication, positive feedback examples eg blood clotting, skin and hypothalamus (thermo regulatory centre) sends message to effectors cause a response, endocrine glands such as pancreas both exocrine and endocrine exocrine = digestive juices endocrine = glucagon (alfa cells) and insulin (beta cells)
