Endocrine system
The endocrine system controls and coordinates bodily functions through glands and hormones. Glands release hormones like insulin, adrenaline, thyroxin, testosterone and estrogen directly into the bloodstream to target cells and regulate processes throughout the body. Hormones control metabolism, development, and responses to stress while endocrine effects are typically slower and longer-lasting compared to the nervous system. Key endocrine glands include the thyroid, pancreas, ovaries and testes.
The endocrine system
The endocrine system regulates body functions through hormones secreted into the bloodstream. It includes major glands like the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, thymus, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries and testes. The hypothalamus controls the pituitary gland, which regulates the thyroid, adrenals, and reproductive organs. Hormones regulate processes like growth, metabolism, sexual function, lactation and immune response. Endocrine disorders occur when hormone production or cellular sensitivity is abnormal, leading to conditions like acromegaly, goiter or Cushing's syndrome. Feedback loops regulate hormone levels through a chain of stimulation and inhibition.
Endocrine system
The endocrine system is made up of glands that secrete hormones internally to regulate bodily functions. It includes central glands like the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and pineal gland that control peripheral glands such as the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands, gonads, pancreas, and thymus. The hypothalamus regulates the pituitary gland which controls other glands. Key hormones include growth hormone, prolactin, thyroid hormone, and those that regulate calcium levels, stress response, and sexual development.

Unit 4 endocrine system(1)
The endocrine system regulates activities in the body through chemical signals called hormones. It consists of endocrine glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream, targeting specific organs. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland control hormone production. The pituitary gland secretes hormones that regulate other glands like the thyroid, adrenals, ovaries and testes. Imbalances in hormone levels can cause disorders like diabetes, dwarfism, and thyroid issues. Hormones work in feedback loops to maintain homeostasis.

Thin layer chromatography by Mr. Vinayak Bodhankar
Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is a method to separate mixtures by using an adsorbent coated plate and a mobile solvent phase. Key steps include activating the plate, applying the sample as spots, developing the plate in a solvent tank, and detecting separated components. TLC allows for simple, fast separation and visualization of compounds. It is useful for separating drugs, chemicals, plant extracts, proteins, and other mixtures.
Paper chromatography by Mr. Vinayak Bodhankar
Paper chromatography is a simple type of chromatography that uses specialized paper as the stationary phase. Components in a sample will separate as the mobile phase travels up the paper based on how strongly each component is absorbed to the stationary phase. Paper chromatography can be used to detect impurities, analyze food and drugs, and study biochemical reactions. It has advantages of being rapid, inexpensive, and requiring only small sample amounts. However, it is not effective for complex mixtures or quantitative analysis.
Nephelotrubidometry by Mr. Vinayak Bodhankar
This document discusses nephelometry and turbidimetry, which are analytical techniques used to measure the amount of dispersed particles in a suspension. Nephelometry measures the intensity of light scattered at a 90 degree angle, which is directly proportional to particle concentration for low concentration suspensions. Turbidimetry measures the intensity of light transmitted at a 180 degree angle, which is inversely proportional to particle concentration for high concentration suspensions. The document describes the basic principles, instrumentation, applications, and differences between nephelometry and turbidimetry.
Ion Exchange chromatography by Mr. Vinayak
Ion exchange chromatography is a process that separates charged ions using an ion exchange resin. The resin exchanges ions from a sample solution for ions on the resin surface according to their relative affinities. There are two main types of resins - cation exchange resins that attract positively charged ions and anion exchange resins that attract negatively charged ions. The separation occurs through reversible ion exchange between the ions in the sample and resin as the sample passes through a column packed with the resin. Ion exchange chromatography has applications in water softening, enzyme extraction, and purification and separation of ions, sugars, amino acids and proteins.

Gel chromatography by Mr. Vinayak Bodhankar
Gel chromatography, also known as gel permeation chromatography, separates molecules based on their size. The stationary phase consists of porous gel beads that allow smaller molecules to enter the pores and spend more time traveling through the column, eluting later. Larger molecules are excluded from the pores and elute faster. Common gels used include dextran, agarose, and acrylamide. Gel chromatography is used to purify and fractionate biomolecules like proteins and polysaccharides by separating components based on their molecular weights and sizes.
Gas chromatography by Mr. Vinayak Bodhankar
The document provides an overview of gas chromatography including its principles, instrumentation, and applications. It discusses how gas chromatography separates components using a mobile gas phase and either a solid or liquid stationary phase. Key aspects summarized are:
- Gas chromatography involves the separation of mixture components based on how they partition between a mobile gas phase and stationary phase. Components elute at different rates depending on their solubility.
- Instrumentation includes a carrier gas, injection port, column, detector, and temperature control system. Common detectors are the thermal conductivity detector, electron capture detector, and flame ionization detector.
- Derivatization can be used to modify non-volatile compounds to make them detectable by gas chromatography. Temperature programming

Endocrine system
- 1. ENDOCRINE SYSTEM By Mr. Vinayak R. Bodhankar M. Pharm. (QA)
- 2. INTRODUCTION The endocrine system consist of glands which are separated from one another & doesn’t have any anatomical relationship. These glands are also called as ductless glands. Their secretions are called as Hormones. The secretion of hormones by other endocrine glands are controlled by Pituitary gland. Hence it is called master gland of the body. Important endocrine glands: 1. Pituitary 2. Thyroid 3. Parathyroid 4. Adrenal 5. Ovaries 6. Testes 7. Pineal
- 3. NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM Hypothalamus produces releasing factor which stimulate pituitary gland & they release anterior pituitary hormones. The whole system is controlled by Negative feedback mechanism. Whenever there is low level of hormones in the blood, hypothalamus produces appropriate releasing factor which stimulate release of hormones by anterior pituitary which in turns stimulates the target gland to produce and release its hormones. As a result, blood level of hormones rises & this inhibit secretion of releasing factor.
- 4. Name of the Gland Hormones produced Function PITUITARY GLAND Pituitary - Anterior Growth hormone Stimulate the growth of the body. Prolactin Stimulate the milk production in the breast, stimulate the breast development during pregnancy. Thyrotropic hormone (TTH) Necessary for normal functioning of thyroid gland. It promotes the synthesis of thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Follicle stimulating hormone Stimulate follicular growth in ovaries and estrogen secretion. Leutenizing hormone Triggers ovulation and development of Corpus luteum. Adreno corticotropic hormone (ACTH) Regulate the levels of steroid hormones cortisol, which released from adrenal gland. Pituitary – Intermediate Melanocyte stimulating hormone Protect the skin from UV rays, development of pigmentation and control of appetite. Pituitary – Posterior Oxytocin Induces labour pain by contraction of uterine muscles and increases the production of Prostaglandin which increases the contraction further. Vasopressin (ADH) Regulates the tonicity of the body fluids. Maintaining the volume of water in extracellular fluids. THYROID Tri iodo thyronine (T3) Regulation of body temperature, metabolism and heart rate. Essential for mental and physical growth. Control the amount of calcium in the blood. Regulate blood calcium level. Increases absorption of Ca from intestine. Thyroxine (T4) Thyrocalcitonin PARATHYROID Parathormone TESTIS Testosterone Development of secondary sexual characteristics in males. Protein formation and muscle development. Essential for the development of Sperms. OVARIES Progesterone Regulate the condition of inner lining of the uterus. Maintaining the early stages of pregnancy and also MC. Oestrogen Development of secondary sexual characteristics in females. Regulation of MC. In males, it helps in maturation of sperm. ENDOCRINOLOGY
- 5. ADRENAL GLANDS a) Glucocorticoids Hydrocortisone and Corticosterone Regulate carbohydrate metabolism. Influence metabolism of fats and proteins. b) Mineralocorticoids Aldosterone Maintain electrolyte balance in the body. Reabsorption of calcium in the kidneys. PANCREAS (Islet of Langerhans) Insulin Reduces blood glucose level. Promote conversion of glucose to glycogen. Promote storage of fats & synthesis of Proteins. Glucagon Raises blood glucose level. Promote gluconeogenesis.
