structure of hormones.
Hormone:- organic substance secreted by organism that functions in the
regulation of physiological activities and in maintaining homeostasis
Hormones are molecules that are produced by endocrine glands, including the
hypothalamus, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, gonads, (i.e., testes and ovaries),
thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, and pancreas
The term “endocrine” implies that in response to specific stimuli, the products of
those glands are released into the bloodstream.
The hormones then are carried via the blood to their target cells.
Some hormones have only a few specific target cells, whereas other hormones
affect numerous cell types throughout the body.
The target cells for each hormone are characterized by the presence of certain
docking molecules (i.e., receptors) for the hormone that are located either on the
cell surface or inside the cell
Hormones carry out their functions by evoking responses from specific organs
7
Hormone
The interaction between the hormone and its receptor triggers a cascade of
biochemical reactions in the target cell that eventually modify the cell’s function
or activity.
A plethora of hormones regulate many of the body’s functions, including growth
and development, metabolism, electrolyte balances, and reproduction.
Numerous glands throughout the body produce hormones.
I. The hypothalamus produces several releasing and inhibiting hormones
that act on the pituitary gland.
II. The pituitary gland produces the pituitary hormones in response to
hypothalamus signal
the hormone produced from pituitary gland act on either of other glands
throughout the body or targets organs
III. Other hormone-producing glands throughout the body include:-
the adrenal glands, which primarily produce cortisol;
the gonads (i.e., ovaries and testes), which produce sex hormones;
the thyroid, which produces thyroid hormone;
the parathyroid, which produces parathyroid hormone; and
the pancreas, which produces insulin and glucagon.
Many of these hormones are part of regulatory hormonal cascades involving a
hypothalamic hormone, one or more pituitary hormones, and one or more target gland hormones.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. Endocrine glands
Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream
Endocrine glands are structures that secrete
chemical messages, called hormones, directly into
the blood. These messages are transported to
specific target cells
Types of hormones
• Steroids
• Proteins
• Glycoproteins
• Polypeptides
• Amines
• Tyrosine derivatives

4. The mechanism of action of steroid hormones
Steroid hormones bind to receptor proteins in the cytoplasm o•the target cell to •orm a receptor-
hormone complex.
Steroid hormones can cross directly through the plasma membrane and the nuclear membrane and
bind to receptors
An example is estrogen. The receptor-hormone complex then serves as a transcription factor,
promoting or inhibiting the transcription of a certain gene.
http://physiologyonline.physiology.org/content/nips/16/6/251/F1.large.jpg?download=true
5. The receptor-hormone complex
The receptor-hormone complex promotes the transcription of specific genes
Transferred to specific target cells
Calciferol (steroid)-> binds to specific receptor in nucleus->promotes expression of calbindin (calcium
transport protein) -> absorption of calcium from the intestine.
http://www.thenutritiondr.com/files/CarbsProFat-Gluconeogenesis.jpg
Some steroids, such as cortisol, bind to receptors in the
cytoplasm and the receptor-hormone complex then
passes through the nuclear membrane into the nucleus
to effect transcription.
6. Cortisol may have different effects in different kinds of cells.
The receptor-hormone complex promotes the transcription of specific genes
The hormone may have different efects in different
cells and it may even have an inhibitory effect.
For example, when the steroid hormone cortisol
binds to its receptor in the cytoplasm of a liver cell
and enters the nucleus it activates many of the
genes needed for gluconeogenesis; i.e., the
conversion of fat and protein into glucose raising
blood glucose.
At the same time, it decreases the expression of the
insulin receptor gene, preventing glucose from
being stored in the cells and also raising blood
glucose.
In the pancreas, the cortisol receptor complex
inhibits the transcription of insulin genes.
7. Mechanism of action of peptide hormones
Peptide hormones bind to receptors in the plasma membrane of the target cell.
Protein hormones are hydrophilic so they
cannot pass through the membrane directly.
Instead they bind to surface receptors that
can trigger a cascade reaction mediated by
chemicals called second messengers.

8. The role of secondary messengers
Binding of hormones to membrane receptors activates a cascade mediated by a second messenger
inside the cell
Second messengers: small water soluble molecules
spread throughout the cells
Relay messages
Calcium ions and cyclic AMP (cAMP) are the two
most common second messengers.

10. The pituitary hormones
Hormones secreted by the pituitary control growth, developmental changes, reproduction and
homeostasis.
http://www.zyropathy.com/wp-
content/uploads/2016/10/Pituitary-gland-anatomy.jpg
The anterior pituitary synthesizes and secretes a number
of hormones that control growth, reproduction and
homeostasis.
Examples include FSH and LH.
The posterior pituitary gland secretes oxytocin and ADH,
but these hormones are not produced there. Instead, they
are synthesized in unusual cells called neurosecretory
cells found in the hypothalamus.
The hormones travel down the axons
of the neurosecretory cells and are
stored at the ends of the axons, until
impulses pass down the axons from
the hypothalamus, stimulating
secretion.

iew0/chapter10/animation__hormonal_communication.html
11. The role of the hypothalamus
The hypothalamus controls hormone secretion by the anterior and posterior lobes of the pituitary gland
1. The hypothalamus links the nervous
system to the endocrine system via
the pituitary gland.
1. Both the nervous system and
the endocrine system play a role
in homeostasis and in the control
of other processes including
reproduction.
3. The role of the hypothalamus
is to secrete releasing factors,
which stimulate the secretion of
the anterior pituitary gland
hormones. The releasing factors
are carried from the
hypothalamus to the anterior
pituitary gland by a portal vein.
4. Negative feedback
mechanisms (e.g., ADH)

12. Regulation of milk secretion
Control of milk secretion by oxytocin and prolactin
Prolactin is a hormone produced by the anterior
pituitary found
During pregnancy, high levels of estrogen increase
prolactin production but inhibit the effects of prolactin on
mammary glands.
The abrupt decline in estrogen and progesterone
following delivery removes this inhibition and the
production of milk begins.
However, the release of the milk after it is produced
depends on the hormone oxytocin.
Nursing by an infant stimulates the continued creation
of prolactin. It also stimulates oxytocin release.
Oxytocin stimulates the contraction of cells that
surround the structures holding the milk leading to the
ejection of the milk.

13. Injection of growth hormone by athletes
Some athletes take growth hormones to build muscles
Growth hormone is another polypeptide hormone
produced in the anterior pituitary.
The binding of growth hormone to liver cells stimulates
the release of insulin-like growth factor which circulates
in the blood and stimulates bone and cartilage growth.
Additional effects, one of which is increase in muscle
mass.
While it is clear that it leads to greater muscle mass, the
data is not clear that it leads to greater strength.
Another claim is that it allows tired muscles to recover
more quickly allowing an individual to train harder and
more often
The scientific research on the topic suggests that the
benefits provided in terms of enhanced performance
are small or non-existent compared to the risks of
injecting the hormone. For this reason, use of the drug
is banned by most international sporting federations.

15. Eradicating iodine deficiency
Cooperation and collaboration between groups of scientists: the International Council for the Control of
Iodine Deficiency Disorders includes a number of scientists who work to eliminate the harm done by
iodine deficiency.
http://wisemensvitamins.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/iodine-deficiency-symptoms.jpg
Thyroid hormone refers to two similar
hormones derived from tyrosine.
Triiodothyronine (T3 ) contains three iodine
atoms and tetraiodothyronine (T 4 ) contains
four iodine atoms.
Correct functioning of the thyroid requires
iodine in the diet. If there is dietary
insufficiency, then there are a number of
consequences including a condition known
as goiter.
https://highered.mheducation.com/sites/9834092339/student
_view0/chapter46/mechanism_of_thyroxine_action.html
The inability to produce the thyroid hormones because
of the absence of iodine means that the hypothalamus
and the anterior pituitary continuously stimulate the
thyroid and enlargement of the thyroid results.
Iodine defciency during pregnancy can affect fetal
nervous development and can lead to mental
retardation in children.
