(c) 2003 Brooks/Cole - Thomson Learning Hypothalamic-Pituitary Systems The pituitary is controlled largely by the hypothalamus: interaction of the nervous and endocrine system. Three separate glands Anterior lobe: endocrine, 6 hormones Intermediate : minor, 1 Posterior : neuroendocrine, 2 Hypothalamus Pituitary stalk Optic chiasm Posterior lobe Anterior lobe Intermediate lobe Pituitary gland Fig 13-1b, pg 410
(c) 2003 Brooks/Cole - Thomson Learning Paraventricular nucleus Supraoptic nucleus Hypothalamus Posterior pituitary contains the axons from the neurons that have their cell bodies in the hypothalamus. Posterior pituitary To venous circulation Fig 13-3, pg 412 Arterial blood supply
Gonadotropic Thyroid- Proactin hormones stimulating ACTH Growth (FSH and LH) hormone hormone (c) 2003 Brooks/Cole - Thomson Learning Cell bodies of neurons that produce releasing/inhibiting hormones Hypothalamus Hypothalamus releases hormones at median eminence and those hormones are carried to anterior via portal vein. Primary capillaries in median eminence Arterial flow Long Portal veins Releasing hormones Anterior pituitary hormone ANTERIOR PITUITARY Secretory cells that produce anterior pituitary hormones Anterior pituitary hormones Venous outflow Fig 13-4, pg 413
Paraventricular nucleus Supraoptic nucleus Oxytocin and ADH are synthesized in soma in hypothalamus and released from nerve terminals in post. Pituitary. Various inputs influence supraoptic and paraventricular neurons to control secretion. Cell bodies of neurons that produce posterior pituitary hormones Posterior pituitary capillaries Venous outflow Arterial inflow
Hypothalamic releasing hormones travel to ant. pit. and control secretion from cells there. One hypothalamic hormone may control more than one ant. pit. hormone (stim. or inhibit).
Posterior Pituitary Hormones Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) Effect: waterretention by kidneys Stimulator: 1) an increase in osmolality in blood and ECF 2) a large decrease in blood volume
Posterior Pituitary Hormones Suckling and other stimuli trigger oxytocin release to transfer milk from alveoli to ducts.
Anterior Pituitary Hormones Somatotropes (50%) = GH corticotropes (20%) = ACTH thyrotropes (5%) = TSH Gonadotropes (5%) = LH and FSH Lactotropes (variable) = Prolactin
Anterior Pituitary Hormones LH and FSH (the gonadotropins) :promote production of sperm, egg, and sex steroids. Prolactin Stimulation of alveolar cells to make milk. Release is controlled by PRF and PIH (DA) ACTH is controlled by CRH; Promotion of the synthesis and secretion of cortisol from adrenal cortex
(c) 2003 Brooks/Cole - Thomson Learning Growth Hormone GH is released in pulses, with a major peak during deep sleep before REM. Sleep Plasma GH concentration (relative units) Noon 6 AM 6 PM Midnight Time of day Fig 13-5, pg 418

Growth Hormone • GH effects: tissue growth (including bone growth) • Anabolic hormone Insulin-like GH effects: liver and muscle protein synthesis; anti-insulin: inhibits glucose uptake

Growth Hormone Deficiency Childhood deficiencyresults in dwarfism Adulthood: not evident symptom
Growth Hormone Overproduction Gigantism is childhood GH excess; acromegaly from adulthood GH excess.
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone TSH: stimulates thyroid cell growth and secretion of thyroid hormone
(c) 2003 Brooks/Cole - Thomson Learning Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone The thyroid glandhas two large lobes below the larynx, rich blood supply, and large growth capacity Weight: 10-20 g Larynx Thyroid gland Thyroid isthmus Trachea Fig 13-10, pg 422
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone The thyroid gland consists of cells that are arranged in follicles. In a healthy adult, there are 3 million follicles.
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Each thyroid follicle is filled with colloid and major component of colloid is thyroglobulin.
(c) 2003 Brooks/Cole - Thomson Learning Tyrosine Thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) are its main products; MIT and DIT are minor. Diiodotyrosine (DIT) Monoiodotyrosine (MIT) T4 (thyroxine) Fig 13-13, pg 424 T3
(c) 2003 Brooks/Cole - Thomson Learning Thyrogloblulin Thyroglob-ulin, the T4 and T3 precursor, is a glyco-protein secreted into the colloid. Apical surface Thyroglobulin synthesis Basal surface Interstitial fluid Amino acids Fig 13-14, pg 425

(c) 2003 Brooks/Cole - Thomson Learning Follicle cells endocytose some colloid, fuses it with lysosomes, and releases T3 and T4. Pinocytosis Lysosome Phagolysosome Deiodeinase T3 T4 Plasma Fig 13-14, pg 425

T3 is more potent than T4, and target cells convert T4 to T3.
Effects of thyroid hormone • Thyroid hormones • Stimulate calorigenesis • Increase circulatory sensitivity to sympathetic nervous system. • Increase oxygenation of blood • Increase • glucose uptake, glycogen formation, lipolysis, • biphasic protein synthesis
Effects of thyroid hormone • Thyroid hormones • Promote bone growth • Promote development of nervous system • Neural branching • Myelinization of nerve
Excess secretion; Hyperthyroidism Symptom high metabolism, High heart rate; weight loss; heat intolerance.
Hypothyroidism Deficiency of thyroid hormone
