2. INTRODUCTION
• Effects almost every cell, organ, and function of
the body
• The endocrine system is closely linked with the
nervous system and the immune system
• The nervous system and the interconnected
network of glands known as the endocrine
system control body systems.
• Endocrine disorders are the consequences of
hypo function and hyper function of each
endocrine gland.
3. ENDOCRINE
• Made up of gland in many tissues and organs in
difference body areas
• Main features of all endocrine gland is the
secretion of hormones
• Responses to stress injury
• Growth and development
• Energy metabolism
• Reproduction
• electrolyte, acid base balance
5. HORMONES
• Secreted by endocrines glands
• Endocrine glands are composed of secretory
cells arranged in minutes cluster known as
acini
• Glands are ductless with rich with blood
supply, so hormones they produce enter the
bloodstream rapidly
6. HORMONES
• Hormone concentration in bloodstream is
maintained at a relatively constant level
• When the hormone concentration increase,
further production of that hormones is
inhibited
• Are natural chemical substances that initiate
or regulate activity and exert their effect on
specific tissues known as Target Tissues
7. TARGET TISSUES
• Are usually located some distance from the
endocrine gland with no direct physical
connection between the endocrine gland and
its target tissue
• The endocrine gland are called “ductless”
gland and must be used the blood to transport
secreted hormones to the target tissue.
8. NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
• The level of hormone in the blood is regulated
by the homeostasis called Negative Feedback.
• Ex : control of insulin secretion
• Increase level of blood glucose, the hormone
insulin is secreted thus increase glucose
uptake by the cells- > causing a decrease in
blood glucose
9. CLASIFFICATION OF HORMONES
• Steroid hormones : hydrocortisone
• Peptide or protein hormones : insulin
• Amine Hormone : epinephrine
• Fatty acid derivatives : retinoids
10. HYPOTHALAMUS
• Located between the cerebrum and brainstem
• Houses the pituitary gland and hypothalamus
• Regulates:
– Temperature
– Fluid volume
– Growth
– Pain and pleasure response
– Hunger and thirst
12. PITUITARY GLAND
• Located beneath the hypothalamus
• Also known as the “master gland”
• Divided into:
– Anterior Pituitary Gland
– Posterior Pituitary Gland
13. ANTERRIOR PITUITARY
1. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
– Stimulates thyroid growth and secretion of the thyroid
hormone
2. Andrenocorthropic hormone (ACTH)
– Stimulates adrenal cortex growth and secretion of
glucocorticoids
3. Growth hormone (GH) – stimulate growth
4. Prolactin / Lactogen
– Stimulate breast development during pregnancy and
milk secretion after delivery
14. ANTERRIOR PITUITARY
5. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
– Stimulates ovarian follicles to mature and produce
oestrogens; in the male stimulates sperm production
6. Luteinizing hormone (LH)
– Acts with FSH to stimulate estrogen production;
causes ovulation; stimulates progesterone production
by corpus luteum; in male stimulate testes to produce
testosterone
7. Melanocytes stimulating hormone
– Synthesis and spread of melanin in the skin
15. POSTERIOR PITUITARY
• ADH antidiuretic hormone
– Stimulate water retention by kidneys to decrease
urine secretion
• Oxytocin
– Stimulate uterine contraction, causes breast to
release milk into ducts
18. ADRENAL CORTEX
18
• Mineralocorticoid
– Regulates electrolyte and fluid homeostasis
– Aldosterone.- affects sodium absorption, loss of
potassium by kidney
• Glucocorticoids—cortisol & hydrocortisone
– Affects metabolism, regulates blood sugar levels,
– Affects growth, anti-inflammatory action,
– Decreases effects of stress
• Adrenal androgens (sex hormone)
– Stimulates sexual drive in females; in male negligible
effect
19. ADRENAL MEDULLA
19
• Secretion of two hormones
– Epinephrine : Prolongs and intensifies sympathetic
nervous response to stress
– Norepinephrine : Prolongs and intensifies
sympathetic nervous response to stress
• Serve as neurotransmitters for sympathetic
system
• Involved with the stress response
20. THYROID
20
• Follicular cells—excretion of triiodothyronine (T3)
and thyroxine (T4) - Increase Basal Metabolic
Rate (BMR), increase bone and protien turnover,
increase response to catecholamines, need for
infant for growth & develop
• Thyroid C cells—calcitonin. Lowers blood calcium
and phosphate levels
21. THYROID GLAND
21
• Butterfly shaped
• Located on either side of the trachea
• Has two lobes connected with an isthmus
• Functions in the presence of iodine
• Stimulates the secretion of three hormones
• Involved with metabolic rate management
and serum calcium levels
25. PARATHYROID GLANDS
25
• Embedded within the posterior lobes of the
thyroid gland
• Secretion of one hormone
• Maintenance of serum calcium levels
• Parathyroid hormone—regulates serum calcium
(blood calcium concentration)
26. PANCREAS
26
• Located behind the stomach between the spleen and
duodenum – it influence carbohydrate metabolism;
indirectly influence fat and protein metabolism;
produces insulin and glucagon
* Glucagon – raises blood glucose
* Insulin – lower blood glucose
• Has two major functions
– Digestive enzymes
– Releases two hormones: insulin and glucagon
27. KIDNEY
27
• 1, 25 dihydroxyvitamin D—stimulates calcium
absorption from the intestine
• Renin—activates the Renin-Angiotensin
System (RAS)

Types:
1.Eosinophilic - result to gigantism if developed
early in life and acromegaly if developed during adult
life
2.Basophilic - results to Cushing's syndrome; clinical
manifestation: amenorrhea & masculinization in
females, truncal obesity, osteoporosis &polycytemia
3.Chromophobic -
produces no hormone but destroys the whole
pituitary glands resulting to hypopituitarism.
S&S: obesity, somnolence, scanty hair, dry, soft skin,
loss of libido, headache, blindness, polyphagia,
polyuria, and lowered BMR
53. GONADAL DISORDER
• Result from hypothalamic-pituitary
dysfunction resulting to hypo secretion
of gonadotropins may lead to infertility and
hypo-androgenism-
• Collaborative Management :
– Removal of the underlying cause of pituitary
dysfunction
54. POSTERIOR PITUITARY DISORDERS
• Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone
(SIADH) - resulting from abnormal increase
of ADH secretion & excessive water retention
leads to include urinary sodium
• Etiology: Bronchogenic carcinoma, head injury,
tumor, infection, and brain surgery

signs
• Medical Mgt:
– Diuretics & Demecclocycline (declomycin)
– Eliminate underlying cause
55. DIABETES INSIPIDUS

serum Na include &Uric Acid
• Cardinal signs: Polyuria, Polydipsia
56. HYPERTHYROIDISM/GRAVES’ DISEASE
• Hyperthyroidism is the second most prevalent
endocrine disorder, after diabetes mellitus.
• Graves' disease: the most common type of
hyperthyroidism, results from an excessive
output of thyroid hormones.
• May appear after an emotional shock, stress, or
an infection
• Other causes: thyroiditis and excessive ingestion
of thyroid hormone
• Affects women 8X more frequently than men
(appears between second and fourth decade)
57. THYROIDITIS
• Inflammation of the thyroid gland.
• Can be acute, subacute, or chronic (Hashimoto's
Disease)
• Each type of thyroiditis is characterized by
inflammation, fibrosis, or lymphocytic infiltration
of the thyroid gland.
• Characterized by autoimmune damage to the
thyroid.
• May cause thyrotoxicosis, hypothyroidism, or
both
58. • Can be being benign or malignant.
• If the enlargement is sufficient to cause a visible
swelling in the neck, referred to as a goiter.
• Some goiters are accompanied by
hyperthyroidism, in which case they are
described as toxic; others are associated with a
euthyroid state and are called nontoxic goiters.
58
THYROID TUMORS
59. THYROID CANCER
• Much less prevalent than other forms of cancer;
however, it accounts for 90% of endocrine
malignancies.
• Diagnosis: thyroid hormone, biopsy
• Management
– The treatment of choice surgical removal. Total or
near-total thyroidectomy is performed if possible.
Modified neck dissection or more extensive radical
neck dissection is performed if there is lymph node
involvement.
– After surgery, radioactive iodine.
– Thyroid hormone supplement to replace the
hormone. 59
61. PANCREAS
• Lies horizontally behind the stomach at the level of the 1st and 2nd
lumbar vertebrae
• The head attached to the duodenum, tail reaching to the spleen
• With exocrine and endocrine function
• Produced two Importance hormones:
1. Insulin: beta cells of islets of Lagerhans - Decrease
glucose levels:
- transcellular membrane transport of glucose;
- inhibits/breakdown of fats and protein;
- requires sodium for transport protein
- requires potassium for production
62. GLUCAGON
• Alpha cells of Islets of Lagerhans
• Stimulates release of glucose by the liver
• Increases glucose levels(gluconeogenesis)
