Chemical Signals 2 BIOL 1407
Endocrine Glands • Hormone-secreting cells make up endocrine system • Ductless glands • Secrete into blood • Receptors on target cells
Relationship of Hypothalamus and Anterior Pituitary Hypothalamus
Example: Control of Release of T3/T4 Levels of T3/T4 fall below minimum range Receptor on Hypothalamic Neuron
Thyroid Gland • Calcitonin • Ca regulation • T3 and T4 • Metabolic rate • Other effects: • Nervous • Reproductive • Muscle • Heart & blood pressure • Digestive system • Development • Diagram Credit: US Government, Wikimedia Commons
