Question

Answer

Hormones

Increasing or decreasing cellular processes. Are transported in the blood, derived from amino acids or steroids. They target organs and cells in low blood concentration

Endocrine System

works with the nervous system to maintain homeostasis. Endocrine is involved primarily with the physiologic function. Functional=hormone molecules include antistressor, maintain electrolytes, H2O,blood nutrients,metabolism & energy,& our form-long acting

Functional aspects of Endocrine

Defence against stressors, maintainance of electrolyte, water and nutriants balance in blood. It regulates cellular metabolism and energy balance- endocrine control is slow, long

Hypersecretion

abnormal increase in endocrine secretion/ excessive release of hormones-tumors are often responsible

Hypothalamus/ Neuroendocrine organ=Crown or Brow Chakra

Mind/body/never link. Translates nerve impulses into hormone secretion by endocrine glands- blood pressure, body temp., fluid and electrolyte balance- Primary influence over the pitutary gland which turns controls on for other endocrine glands w/ hormones

Endocrine disorders

1)some cancers produce hormonelike substances that cause endo. syndromes 2)abnormal decrease in hormone receptors on target cells 3)target cells w/ abnormal metabolic responses to hormon-receptors

Hyposecretion

insufficent release of hormone secretion- abnormalities in immune function, tumors can be the cause

Limbic System

Located in the interior of the cerebrum and connects to the hypothalamus-emotional response

Pituitary gland= Crown/Brow Chakra

secretes hormones that regulate growth, fluid balance,lactation and childbirth. Main source of tropic hormones that have a stimulating effect on other endocrine glands. The Hypothalamus regulates the pituitary gland

Posterior Pituitary Lobe

Not a true endocrine gland because it only stores and releases hormones but does not synthesesize them. Secret 2 hormones

Anterior Pituitary Lobe

Secdretes 7 major hormones-Growth/somatotropin hormone(grow,repair and rebuild,stores fat, raises blood glucose) Anterior Stimulates most body cells to increase size and divide. Major target bones and muscle.

Adernal Glands= Root Chakra

2 Adrenal glands-on top of ea. kidney,inner portion=medulla/ outer portion=cortex-

Endocrine Glands = Chakra system

ductless glands=secrete hormones in blood stream EI;Pituitary,thyroid,parathyroid,adrenal,pineal and thymus.

Endocrine Tissue

pancreas,ovaries,testes produce hormones in exocrine products.

Exocrine gland

duct glands=secrete in areas salivary,sweat

Endorphins

Peptide hormones that mainly work like morphoine to supress pain. In fluence mood, producing a mild euphoric feeling- runners high

Half-life

The amount of time required for half of a hormone to be eliminated from the blood stream

Negative feed back system

A control mechanisum that provides a stimulus to decrease a function

Tropic/trophic hormone

hormones produced by the endocrine glands that affect other endocrine glands=Pituitary gland is the primary source of trophic hormone

ACTH-Adrenocorticotropic hormone

Tropic hormone that promotes & maintain normal growth & development of adrenal cortex stimulating androgens ei, testosterone. stress/mod. fevers/hypoglycemia increase ACTH

THS-Thyroid stimulating hormone

trophic hormone promotes & maintains growth/develpoment of thyroid gland & controls the release of thyroid hormones in a negative feedback system. THS-increases in cold temps

Follicle-stimulating hormone

AnteriorPituitaryHormone-TropicHormone-influences positively by cold hydrotherapy-stimulates growth and maturity of ovarian follicles- in men secretes estrogen stimulates sperm production

Luteinizing hormone

Tropic hormone in women causes ovulation/ in men production and secretion of testosterone

Prolactin

Women-breast development and milk production when stimulated by the central nervous system. Involved in the immune system

Melanocyte stimulating hormone

acts on pigment cells and adrenal glands.

Posterior Pituitary Hormones

Made up by Hypothalamic neurons and stored in the the posterior pituitary gland

Oxytocin

stimulates smooth muscle contraction, especially in the uterus. Child birth, releases milk, bonds mother and child- both sexes supports bonding between couples and ehances parental behavior

ADH-Antidiuretic hormone/vasopressin

Stimulates the kidneys to remove water from urine and release it into the blood stream. Release of ADH- pain, anxiety,nicotine,traquilizers and low blood pressure. ADH increases BP, decrease Perspiration

Thyroid gland=Throat Chakra

Regulates metabolism and maintains oxygen consumption.

Isthum

the bridge that connects the right and left lobe of the thyroid gland. The gland lies on the treachea below the thyroid cartlidge

Hyperthyroidism

autoimmune disorder-decrease of thyroid releaseing hormone from hypothalamus. perimenopausal women 35-45.

Parathyroid Glands

4 pea sized bodies located on the posterior surface of the thyroid lobes-"parathormone"=combined w/vitD decreases the amt of Ca excreted

Pancreas-Solar Plex

Behind stomach @ the thoracolumbar junction and navel. Excocrine&Endocrine aids in digestion and hormone islets of Langerhans=insulin and glucagon & amylin(agnostic to insulin) somatostatin-inhibits all hormones.

Islets of Langerhans

Secrete insulin which lowers glucose levels

Insulin

Pancreas releases insulin when levels of blood sugar, amino acids&Fatty acids rise. Supplies energy.

Glucagon

Alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans secrete this hormone=increases blood glucose(opposite of Insulin response). Growth hormones stimulate these cells -part of the feedback loop in hypoglycemia. High amino acids raise glucagon

Hypothalamic release

massage supports hypothalamic release of growth-releasing hormones

Hypothalamus supporter

Loving relationships support growth hormone function in the adult

Type II Diabetic basics

Insulin is released when levels of blood sugar, amino acids and fatty acids rise

Epinephrine- Adrenaline

Adrenal Medulla= parasympathetic nervous system/ sympathetic autonomic nervous system. Epinephrine hormone extends the fight or flight response.

Cortisol

The resistance phase of Selyes general adaptation response is most supported by this hormone-synthesizes amino acids into glucose when the body has no fat or glycogen stored for energy.Massage directly effects for sleep

Androgens

Male sex hormones

Pineal Gland- 3rd Eye Crown/Brow Chakra

Endocrine gland most sensitive to light and dark circles/ sleep. Inside brain w/in the diencephalon and surrounded by pia matter-in sight and awareness

Massage influences Endocrine System

Influence on the autonomic nervous system

Massage effect on Hypothalamus

stimulates

Prostaglandins

Tissue hormones- chronic inflamation condition.

Thyroid disorder

Dry skin, joint pain,edema.

Andolsterone

Mineralocorticord-sodium&potassium regulating steroid. Causes kidneys to reabsorb more sodium and water and excrete more potassium and hydrogen

Erythropoietin

If oxygen levels drop the kidneys produce this to simulate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow
