2、V Further ThinkingPart IVideo:Introduction to the Endocrine System3Think and Talk The endocrine system is the collection of glands of an organism that secrete hormones and release them directly into the circulatory system,rather than through a duct,to be transported towards distant target organs.The

3、 endocrine glands belong to the bodys control system.The major endocrine glands include the hypothalamus,pituitary gland,pancreas,ovaries,testes,thyroid gland,parathyroid gland,and adrenal glands.The hypothalamus and pituitary gland are neuroendocrine organs,which control all endocrine systems.The h

4、ormones which they produce help to regulate the functions of cells and tissues throughout the body.For example,thyroid hormone(TH)increases the rate of cellular metabolism.A hormone may affect relatively few targets,while a different hormone may affect nearly every cell in the body.Reference4Task On

9、ry gland is the main hormone producing gland and secretes nine different hormones.For example,vasopressin regulates kidney functioning,and oxytocin generates contractions of the uterus during childbirth.There are also some other pituitary hormones that control skin pigmentation and bone growth.There

11、The pituitary gland is a small oval endocrine gland that lies at the base of the brain.It is sometimes called the master gland of the body because all the other endocrine glands depend on its secretions.The pituitary gland secretes different important hormones such as growth hormone,ACTH,thyrotropin

12、,gonadotropic hormones,vasopressin,oxytocin,antidiuretic hormone,etc.Those hormones can help control a lot of body processes,such as growth,blood pressure,breast milk production,sex organ functions,thyroid gland function,metabolism,water balance,temperature regulation,and pain relief.Reference12Part

13、 II-Video OneThink and Talk All the disorders and diseases of the pituitary gland are to be the results of an hyposecretion or hypersecretion of associated hormones.For example,the oversecretion of the growth hormone can cause gigantism if it happens before growth of the long bone is finished,or it

14、would be acromegaly if it starts during adulthood.On the other hand,undersecretion of this hormone can generate dwarfism if people experience it during childhood.The increased secretion of one or more pituitary hormones can lead to hyperpituitarism,while the decreased secretion of the pituitary horm

18、e,then a disorder or disease will happen.Hypersecretion or hyposecretion of these hormones can lead to conditions such as dwarfism,gigantism,and sterility.Growth hormone promotes growth and stimulates the bone and muscle growth for normal physical growth in children.If too little growth hormone is s

22、face,the big fat belly,high blood pressure,extra fat around neck,poor short-term memory,etc.The diagnosis of it may be very complicated with various urinary tests,blood tests and other possible tests.The first step is to diagnose Cushings syndrome with multiple tests being used to achieve a proper d

23、iagnosis.Some of the biochemical tests may involve salivary and blood serum cortisol testing,24-hour urinary free cortisol(UFC)testing,the dexamethasone suppression test(DST),and bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling(BIPSS).Reference19Part II-Video TwoThink and TalkIf Cushings Syndrome is deter

24、mined,we go to the next step to distinguish between Cushings disease and ectopic corticotropin syndrome with CRH,high-dose DST,BIPSS,and pituitary MRI.The urinary free cortisol(UFC)test and the late-night or midnight salivary cortisol test may also be employed to get a proper diagnosis.Accordingly,d

27、ushings disease is to remove the tumor and once you remove the rumor you have basically gotten rid of the reason why they have all these problems because their body does not overproduce the cortisol which leads to high blood and obesity and so on.4.She had lost a lot of weight,and she also experienc

32、Cushings disease,can I be cured?Doctor:If you get it,you could go to the Mayo Clinic to do a surgery to remove the tumor.But there is possibility of leaving tiny tumor cells.And even if the tumor is totally taken out,your quality of life is not the same as before.Miriam:But Ive searched the internet

36、ed in the faculty of medicine.He served in the First World War in France as a medical officer and returned to Canada in 1919 with a Military Cross.On the night of 31 October 1920,Frederick Banting came up with an idea for the research aimed at isolating an internal secretion of the pancreas.In May 1

37、921 Banting and Best,a medical student,began to isolate the hormone in the laboratories of the Scottish physiologist J.J.R.Macleod,at the University of Toronto.After an intensive effort they completed their experiments in 1922.In the following year Banting and Macleod received the 1923 Novel Prize f

38、or Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of insulin.Reference29Part III-Video OneThink and Talk Frederick Banting was ill suited to wear the status of scientist or celebrity.He had been almost broken by the pressures of the insulin research even to the extent that he considered suicide if he was

39、not successful.The pressure also resulted in the end of his romance with Edith Roach,his childhood sweetheart and once fiance.In 1924 he married Marion Robertson and ended in divorce in 1932 following allegations of adultery and abuse.In 1939,Banting married Henrietta Ball and ended with his death i

44、oland on November 30,1926,spent his childhood in the Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe,and survived the holocaust.He got his high school diploma in Scotland and studied chemistry in London.Schallys interest in medical research began at the age of 23 and gradually became addicted to it.In 1952 he moved to

45、 Canada to work and study at McGill University where he learned endocrinology and started to be involved in the hypothalamic field.In 1974,Andrew Schally met a charming endocrinologist and soon get married.Reference35Part III-Video TwoThink and TalkHe shared the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Med
