Hormones+EP

Hormones (Set up a unique wiki page for fourth quarter assignments. Then set up one for this page. Remember a unique page needs a unique tag like your initials.) 1. Compare and Contrast the endocrine system and the nervous system. (At least three things) 2. What is a steroid hormone? How does it compare to a peptide hormone? 3. Explain the role of the hypothalamus. 4. Explain the role of the pituitary gland (posterior and anterior). 5. Name the endocrine glands covered in this chapter, the hormone(s) they produce, and the function of each hormone. You may want to set up a table.
 * Both respond to chemical signals when they respond to changes that occur with homeostasis.
 * The ednocrine system is mostly composed of glands. The nervous system is composed of neurons.
 * They both repsond with negative feedback to the body.
 * A steriod hormone has the same complex of four carbon rings. It passes through the target cell's plasma membrane before binding to a receptor in the nucleus or cytoplasm.
 * A peptide hormone deals with the protiens of the body.
 * Steriods act more slowely.
 * Regulates as the internal environment.
 * It helps control the heart beat, body temperature, and water balance.
 * Also controls the glandular secretions.
 * The pituitary gland secrete hormones that regulate homeostasis that also turn the endocrine glands. It works with the hypothalamus.
 * It is one of the main parts in the brain that secrets the hormones. The anterior lobe reugaltes hormones that deal with growth hormones,prolactin, thyrotropin, and the reproductive glands.
 * The posterior lobe deals with water balance and things like that.


 * hypothalamus**- produces glandular secretions. Its job is to control the heart beat, body temperature, and water balance with in the body.


 * Pitiutry gland**- it secrets hormones. It has to jobs, one is the anterioer lobe which controls the growth and then the posterior lobe which controls the temperature and things within in the body.


 * Thyroid**- its a hormone. it controls growth and how fast our metabolism is.
