physiology :-endocrine system-PART 2

hormonal regulation of glucose.

normal blood glucose -fasting blood sugar=60-80 mg/100ml

random blood sugar=80-120mgm%
post prandial blood sugar- 120-140mgm%

role liver as a glucostatic organ-

- when glucose content in blood is excess it is converted in to glycogen by glycogenesis and is  stored in liver
- during  rigorous exercise and dieting this glycogen stored in liver and muscle converted by glycogenolysis

hypoglycemic hormone

1)insulin
hyperglycemic hormone
1)glucagon
2)adrenaline
3)T4
4)GH,ACTH

islet of langerhans:

secretes-A cells-glucagon
B cells -insulin
 γ cells -somatostatin
 δ cells -pancreatic polypeptide

,:-

-hypo glycemic in action
-uptake of glucose increases peripheral utilisation of glucose by all the cells except brain cells and RBC.
-excess of glucose is converted to glycogen -glycogenesis.
-prevents breakdown of glycogen to glucose
-prevents gluconeogenesis
therefore glucose level is decreased to 80 mg/100ml

glucagon-

-hypoglycemic in action in action.
-decreases in peripheral utilisation of glucose.
-glycogenolysis is facilitated .
-it facilitates gluconeogenesis.

adrenaline.

-hyperglycemic in action .
-glycogenolysis is facilitated from liver but also from  muscles.


thyroxine-

hyperglycemic in action
-increased absorption of glucose inGIT.
-BMR 
 increases -gluconeogenesis.

-growth hormone.-

-hyperglycemic in action 
-decrease in peripheral utilisation 
-fats breakdown.


ACTH and cortisol-
hyperglycemic in acton
-breakdown of fat.
-mobilisation -which helps in increasing glucose level.

abnormalities-
1)diabetes melitus-either total absence/relative absence of insulin.
type1:-
1)named as juvenile onset
starts at 12-13 years
-cause -total absence
-insulin injection is only treatment.
purely hereditary
-called as insulin dependent diabetes.

type2-
maturity onset
stars after 40 years
-relative absence of insulin.
-treatment:-exercise,diet,antidiabetic drugs.
-insulin independent diabetes melitus

symptoms:-
blood glucose level is always high >180mg/100ml
-glycosuria
-polyurea.
-polydipsia
-poor wound healing
-loss of weight
-prone to skin infection

Adrenal gland:-
adrenaline cortex-zona glomerulosa-mineralocorticoids eg:- aldosterone
                            -zona fasciculata-glucocorticosteroids  eg:-cortisol
                            -zona reticularis-sex steroids
-all three steroid/cholesterol
-adrenal medulla-adrenaline/epinephrine
                             -nor adrenaline
                              -dopamine
physiological effect:-
1)aldosterone called as life saving hormone it maintains sodium concentration  N.V-300 -350MG%
-aldosterone acts  on 1 st part renal tubule -PCT and henle's loop- helps in reabsorption of Na ions. along that chlorine ae also reabsorbed.
NACL are osmotically -active reabsorption of H2O 
-  to maintain electrolyte balance -potassium is lost in urine ,sometimes instead of H+
  lost in urine.
-maintain acid-base balance.
-maintain the blood volume.

regulation of secretion aldosterone.
-renin angiotensin pathway-blood volume decreases,aldosterone increases
-circadian rhythm -on day,secretion increases
                              - on night secretion decreases
-when sodium concentration in blood decreases -aldosterone increases
-ACTH increases aldosterone increases negative feedback.

abnormality:-
conn's syndrome-hyperaldosteronism


symptoms:-
-hypervolema
-blood pressure increases 
-potassium content in blood decreases leads to hypokalemia.
-alkalosis

aldosterone escape:-
due to increase in aldosterone it will lead to  increase in blood volume which will lead to increase in B.P.,GRR increases ,loss of H2O sodium through urine ,aldosterone escape.


glucocorticoids:-

eg:-cortisol hormone .etc
source-zona fasciculata
-has role in glucose/ carbohydrate metabolism
physiological action:-
1)anti inflammatory action as in case of rheumatoid arthritis
2)steroids are given for pain  relief
-immune suppressive action-organ/tissue transplantation -before surgery an injection is given becuase it reduces lymphocytes count until the body accepts
-anti allergic action-used in case of nasal drops.
reduces eosinophil count which decreases histamine release
-anti stress  action -ACTH increases which in turns increases cortisol-reduce stress.
-glucose/carbohydrate metabolism-hyperglycemia in action-breakdown of fats and proteins
if secretion is increases -steroid diabetic condition.
-protein metabolism.
-fat metabolism-when excess  breakdown of fats,mobilization -centripetal distribution of fats.
-effect on blood and CVS-lymphocyte count  decreases so, therefore eosinophil count decreases
blood volume increases,B.P increases.
-Respiratory system-in case of premature  baby it is administered for synthesis of surfactant-7th-9 th month
-GIT- continues uses of steroids lead to gastric ulcer.

abnormalities:-

cushing's syndrome:-
cause increased hyper secretion of cortisol.
symptom:-1)moon face2)buffalo's hump3)pendular abdomen.
 reason:-due to breakdown of fats -mobilization of fats -redistribution of fats
-steroid diabetes -hyper glycemia
-increased blood volume 
-increased B.P
-hypokalemia
-alkalosis.


Addison's disease.:-

Adrenal medulla.:-

catecholamine-adrenaline
                        -nor adrenaline.
                         -Dopamine.
-Act as neurotransmitter 
-called as emergency hormone.



physiological action:-

heart rate ,b.p increases,vasodilation with hot sweating.
-glycogenolysis-from liver and muscles.
-pupil dilation.
-inhibits micturition by relaxation of of detrosal muscle of urinary bladder and constriction of internal urethral sphincter .
-inhibit GIT movement defecation reflex is also inhibited.
-piloerection

abnormalities.-

pheochromocytoma-
cause- secretion of adrenaline increased
symptom-anxiety
               -palpitation
                -head ache
               -fatigue
                -increased B.P.

Zona reticularis:- androstenedione-testosterone-if in female it increases virilism(hoarseness of voice ,hair in face,muscular growth. 

                            -oestrogen-in male-gynecomastia-(feminine characteristic.)

primitive man like appearance
saluting forehead ,lips,thickened earlobes.
widening of vertebrae-hungebacks.


Posterior pituitary .:-
-ADH-
-produced by supraoptic nucleus of hypothalamus
-physiological action:-
decreased urine output-reabsorption of H20-
.vasoconstriction-when BP is low ,it regulates to the normal B.P
.when ADH secretion is increased -haemorrhage,post surgery,too much of dehydration due to vomiting/diarrhea.
ADH secretion is  deceased in alcoholics.

1)diabetes insipidus-
cause:-hypersecretion of ADH.
symptom.:-polyurea,specific gravity of urine is low ,no glucose in urine

]2)diabetes mellitus :-
cause-hypersecretion of insulin.
symptom:polyurea,specific gravity of urine is low, no glucose in urine .


Oxytocin:-
produced from paraventricular nucleus
physiological action:-role in parturition
in ejection milk also called as neuro-endocrine reflex/milk ejection reflex.
