ENDOCRINE SYSTEM 1) KNOW ALL OF THE ENDOCRINE GLAND & HOROMONES * Hypothalamus Although it is part of the brain‚ the hypothalamus secretes several hormones and is very closely related to the activity of the endocrine system. * The hormones it secretes are: * Releasing hormones – stimulate the secretion of specific anterior pituitary hormones * Release inhibiting hormones – inhibit the secretion of specific anterior pituitary hormones Pituitary * A small

Hormones and the Endocrine System 26.1 Chemical and electrical signals coordinate body functions The Endocrine System is a group of interacting glands and tissues throughout the animal body that produce and secrete chemical to initiate and maintain body functions and activities. Chemical Signals -Hormones - are released into the bloodstream by endocrine cells and carried to all locations in the body Consists of all hormone secreting cells Works with the nervous system in regulating body activities

Alterations in Fluids‚ Electrolytes‚ and Acid-Base Balance Composition & Compartment Distribution of Body Fluids ← Body fluids are distributed between the intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF) compartments. The ICF compartment consists of fluid contained within all of the billions of cells in the body. It is the larger of the two compartments‚ containing approximately two thirds of the body water in healthy adults. ← The remaining one third of body water is in

What two factors regulate body fluid osmolarity? - Formation of a medullary osmotic gradient - The amount of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) present at the collecting ducts. d. Describe the collecting duct role relative to urine concentration. Depending on the body fluid osmolarity‚ the collecting duct reabsorbs water & forms concentrated urine or if water

the stimulus (the activation of platelets). b. The stimulus of the feedback loop is the loss of blood pressure. The response is the release of autidiuretic hormone (ADH)‚ which allows the kidney to fix the blood pressure. This feedback loop is an example of a negative feedback loop. This is so because the response (the release of ADH) decreases the stimulus (the drop in blood
