Here in this article, we are providing Video Lectures, Short notes and previous year questions with detailed solutions.
Chemical Coordination and Integration
Endocrine Glands and Hormones
Endocrine Glands are ductless glands. Hormones are their secretions. They are intercellular messengers generated in little amounts. Endocrine glands are found in several areas of the human body. Pituitary, pineal, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, adrenal, and gonad glands are examples of endocrine glands. Hormones are also produced by the kidneys, liver, and gastrointestinal system.
Hypothalamus
It is located at the forebrain’s base. It is made up of Nuclei, which are secretory cells that generate hormones. The hypothalamus secretes hormones that govern pituitary hormone production and secretion. The hypothalamus produces two types of hormones: releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones.
Hormones of Hypothalamus
| Hypothalamic Hormone | Response of Pituitary | Target Organ |
| Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (T-RH) | Secretion of TSH | Thyroid |
| Adrenocorticotropin-releasing hormone (A-RH) | Secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) | Adrenal cortex |
| Follicle-stimulating hormone-releasing hormone (FSH-RH) | Secretion of FSH | Ovary/Testis |
| Luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) | Secretion of LH | Ovary/Testis |
| Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GH-RH) | Secretion of GH or STH | Most tissues |
| Somatostatin | Inhibition of the secretion of growth hormone | |
| Prolactin-releasing hormone (P-RH) | Secretion of LTH or prolactin hormone | Mammary glands |
Pituitary Gland
It is situated in the Sella Tursica cavity, which is connected to the hypothalamus through a stalk. It is separated into two parts: adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis. Growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone, melanocyte-stimulating hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone are all produced by the anterior pituitary gland.
