Hollow spheres lined by cuboidal epithelium ? Cells surround follicle cavity that contains viscous colloid ? Surrounded by network of capillaries that ? deliver nutrients and regulatory hormones ? accept secretory products and metabolic wastes Figure 18-10 ? 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. The Thyroid Gland: Thyroid hormones ? Thyroglobulin (Globular Protein) ? Synthesized by follicle cells ? Secreted into colloid of thyroid follicles ? Molecules contain the amino acid tyrosine ?

Doreen Pang Mrs. Trainor AP Psychology 11 October 2016 Module 4-4 The Endocrine System Our body has two communications system: Endocrine and Neural Endocrine System Travels through blood interconnected with the nervous system secrete glands chemical messages Hormones Chemical messengers that circulate in the blood Hormones Originates in one tissue travels through blood stream affects other tissues: like the brain influences: sex food aggression Some Hormones are chemically the same as neurotransmitters those chem. messengers: diffuse across synapse excite/inhibit an adjacent neuron Endocrine/nervous systems are kindred The 2 differences are: Slower Effects lasts longer both secrete molecules that activate receptors elsewhere Endocrine is slower than nervous system

Cell Signaling

Local/paracrine signaling: In paracrine signaling a signaling cells releases messenger molecules into the extracellular fluid and these local regulators influence nearby cells. Long distance signaling: Hormones are chemical signals that travel to more distant cells. Long distance signaling is going to be seen the most in the nervous system. There are 3 stages of cell signaling... 1. Reception 2. Transmission 3. Response RECEPTION There are three basic types of membrane receptors:
