Topic 5.1 concept check
Endocrine system influences metabolic activity via hormones (chemical messengers)
secreted into extracellular fluid!
Responses take much longer (several seconds to days) than neural responses (within
milliseconds), with longer lasting responses!
Endocrine glands: small organs with powerful influence: pituitary, pineal, thyroid,
parathyroid and adrenal glands also hypothalamus (neuroendocrine), gonads, placenta,
pancreas (contain endocrine tissue)!
Exocrine glands – ducted system carrying non-hormonal substances (sweat, saliva)!
Endocrine – ductless system where hormones delivered into surrounding tissue fluid, rich
vascular and lymphatic drainage!
Humoral, neural or hormonal stimuli trigger endocrine glands to manufacture and secrete
hormones!
Pituitary gland attached inferiorly to hypothalamus by infundibulum sits in the#sella turcica
of sphenoid bone!
Neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary + infundibulum) – made of neural tissue and stores
hormones!
Adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary) – glandular tissue, manufactures and releases
hormones!
