Endine System Revision Sheet

1. 📌 Essentials

  • The endocrine system regulates physiological functions via hormone secretion into the blood.
  • Endocrine tissues include glands (thyroid, hypophysis cell clusters (Leydig, Langerhans), and diffuse neuroendocrine cells.
  • Hormones are classified as hydrophilic (proteins, peptides, amines) or hydrophobic (steroids, thyroid hormones).
  • Peptide hormones are synthesized as preprohormones, processed in ER and Golgi, stored in granules, secreted by exocytosis.
  • Steroid hormones derive from cholesterol, are not stored, diffuse freely into target cells.
  • Hormone secretion is regulated by hormonal, humoral, neural stimuli, often via negative feedback.
  • Hormone secretion exhibits circadian, pulsatile, or complex rhythms.
  • Receptors: membrane-bound (G-protein, enzyme-linked, ion channels) or intracellular (cytoplasmic, nuclear).
  • Hydrophilic hormones trigger intracellular cascades; lipophilic hormones modulate gene transcription.
  • Disorders include hyposecretion and hypersecretion, primary or secondary.
