MODULE No. 2
TITLE: ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
This module is designed to introduce concept of anatomy
OVERVIEW and
physiology of the endocrine system.
This module covers the location of the various endocrine
organs in the body, the general function of the various
hormones, and the consequences of their hypersecretion or
hyposecretion.
INTRODUCTIO The endocrine system, vital to homeostasis, plays an
N important
role in regulating the activity of the body cells. By acting
through blood-borne chemical messengers, called
hormones,
the endocrine system organs orchestrate cellular changes
that lead to growth and development, reproductive
capability, and the physiological homeostasis of many body
systems.
LEARNING 1. Apply knowledge of physical, social, natural, and
OUTCOMES health sciences and humanities in anatomy and
physiology
2. Utilize basic anatomical facts and physiological
concepts and principles in the nursing care individuals
3. Engage in lifelong learning in developing competence
in Anatomy and Physiology
4. Communicate effectively using anatomical terms
5. Adopt nursing core values in Anatomy and Physiology
LEARNING At the end of this module, the learner should be able to:
OBJECTIVES
1. Integrate concepts, theories and principles of
sciences
and humanities Anatomy and Physiology
2. Integrate basic concepts of anatomy and physiology
in
the nursing care of client
3. Engage in self-directed learning to enhance
competence in Anatomy and Physiology
Catherine C. Maribbay Page 1
4. Utilize appropriate communication techniques in
Anatomy and physiology
5. Demonstrate caring as the core of nursing, love of
God, love of country, and love of people when
discussing Anatomy and Physiology

[Link] however, is much __1___ than that of the
___2____, the other major body system that
[Link] impulses acts
to maintain homeostasis. Perhaps the reason
[Link] for
this is that, the endocrine system uses
chemical
messengers, called ___3___, instead of ___4__.
These chemical messengers enter the
blood and are carried throughout the
body by the activity of the ___5_.

F. Besides the major endocrine organs, isolated clusters of cells
produce hormones within body organs that are usually not
associated with the endocrine system. Complete the missing
information on these hormones by filling in the blank spaces in
the table
HORMONE SOURCE EFFECTS
1. SECRETIN Duodenom. -Stimulates pancreas & liver release
H2.
2. Gastirine. Stomach. – Stimulates Hcl release by paretal

5. Human Chroionic
G. The activity of many organs is regulated by negative feedback.
Assume for this system that the stimulus that initiates it is
declining/dropping level of water in the body. Using a paradigm,
illustrate how the body reacts/response to maintain water
balance.
II. Summary of the module:
For this journey, you will be miniaturized and injected into a vein of
your host. Throughout the journey, you will be travelling in the
bloodstream. Your instructions are to record changes in blood
composition as you float along, and to form some conclusions as to
why they are occurring.
Bobbing gently along in the slowly moving blood, you realize that
there is a sugary taste to your environment; however, the
sweetness begins to decrease quite rapidly: as glucose levels of the
blood have just decreased, obviously insulin has been released by
the Pancreas, so that the cells can take up glucose.
A short while later you notice that the depth of the blood in the vein
you are travelling in has diminished substantially. To remedy this
potentially serious condition, the Posterior pituitary will have to
release more ADH, so the kidney tubules will reabsorb more water.
Within a few minutes the blood becomes much deeper, you wonder
if the body is psychic as well as wise.
As you circulate past the bones, you notice charged particles
shooting pell-mell out of the bone matrix and jumping into the
blood. You
Catherine C. Maribbay Page 5
conclude that the Parathyroid glands have released PTH, because
the
Calcium levels have increased in the blood. As you continue to move
in the blood-stream, the blood suddenly becomes sticky sweet,
indicating that your host must be nervous about something.
Obviously, his Adrenal medullar has released epinepherine to cause
sudden increase in blood glucose.
