Understanding the Regulation of Hormone Secretion and Feedback Mechanisms

Slide Note

Hormone secretion is tightly regulated to prevent overproduction or underproduction. It involves various factors such as nervous system signals, chemical changes in the blood, and feedback mechanisms. Hormones play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis by acting on target cells and eliciting specific responses. Negative feedback mechanisms help to control hormone levels and ensure balance in the endocrine system.

  1. REGULATION OF HORMONE SECRETION Sri Wahyuni FK UNIMAL

  2. If we are talking about hormones, we always have to think abaout : 1. The name 2. The glands/ the cells 3. The target cells 4. Function in the target cells 5. The stimulaters 6. The inhibitors 7. Feed back mechanism

  3. Regulation of hormone secretion normally prevents overproduction or underproduction any of the hormone Hormon secretion is regulated by: 1. Signal from the nervous system 2. Chemical chances in the blood 3. Others/hormones

  4. Hormones are secreted by endocrine glands when there is a need for them, that is, for their effects on their target organs When a hormone brings about its effects, the stimulus is reversed, and secretion of the hormone decreases until the stimulus reoccurs. In any hormonal negative feedback mechanism, information about the effects of the hormone is fed back to the gland, which then decreases its secretion of the hormone. This is why the mechanism is called negative : The effects of the hormone reverse the stimulus and decrease the secretion of the hormone. The secretion of many other hormones is regulated in a similar way.

  5. The hormones of the anterior pituitary gland are secreted in response to releasing hormones (also called releasing factors) hypothalamus. Growth hormone, for example, is secreted in response to growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) from the hypothalamus. As growth hormone exerts its effects, the secretion of GHRH decreases, which in turn decreases the secretion of growth hormone. This is another type of negative feedback mechanism secreted by the
