NAU A&P 13 & 14

NAU Endocrine System, Blood

QuestionAnswer
In Latin, means "acorn" Glands
Types of glands according to their secretions destinations Endocrine and Exocrine Glands
External glands, secrete products to exit the cell or body OR go into the lumen of another organ. Exocrine Glands
Internal glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream to reach target cells. These glands and their hormones help regulate how the body works-its metabolism Endocrine Glands
Chemical messengers that literally " to arouse, to set into motion, or urge on" Hormones
2 classes of hormones Non-steroids and Steroids
Non-steroid classifications Amines, Protein, Glycoproteins, Peptides and Prostaglandins
Steroid classifications Sex hormones and Adrenal cortex secretions
Derived from the amino acid tyrosine-epinephrine and norepinephrine OR adrenaline or noradrenaline Amines
Composed of long chains of amino acids. PTH-parathyroid, GH-Growth Hormone and PRL-prolactin Protein
Proteins joined to carbohydrates. FSH-Folicle stimulating , LH- Lutenizing and TSH- Thyroid stimulating Hormones, all found in anterior portion of pituitary gland. Glycoproteins
Short chains of amino acids. ADH-Antidiuretic, OT-Oxytocin, TRH-Thyroptin releasing, SS- Somatostantin and GnRH-Gonadotropin releasing Peptides
Fatty acids produced in a wide variety of cells all over the body. Prostaglandins
Amino acid compounds that do NOT dissolve in lipids Non-Steroidal Hormones
Lipid based derived from cholesterol that dissolves in lipids. Steroids
The cells that the hormones will be acting upon. Target cells
Sequence of Non-Steroidal Hormone Using Cyclic AMP Steps 1-3 1. Endocrine gland secretes hormone 2. Body fluid carries hormone to its target cell. 3. Hormone combines w/ receptor site on membrane of its target cell, activating G protein (messenger)
Sequence of Non-Steroidal Hormone Using Cyclic AMP Steps 4-6 4. G protein then activates adenylate cyclase (integral protein) with its active site facing inside the cell. 5. Adenylate cyclase functions to remove the 2 phosphate groups from ATP converting it into cyclic AMP 6. Cyclic AMP activates protein kinases
Sequence of Non-Steroidal Hormone Using Cyclic AMP Steps 7-8 7. These enzymes collectively change the metabolic processes within the cell. 8. Resulting in the hormone's effects (ie secretion of product)
Sequence of Steroid Hormone Action. Steps 1-3 1. Endocrine gland secretes steroid hormone to be carried via blood to target cell. 2. Steroid hormone diffuses through the target cell membrane & enters cytoplasm or nucleus 3. Hormone combines w/a receptor site molecule in the cytoplasm or nucleus.
Sequence of Steroid Hormone Action. Steps 4-6 4. Steroid hormone-receptor complex binds to DNA & promotes transcription of messenger RNA. 5. Messenger RNA enters the cytoplasm & directs protein synthesis. 6. Newly synthesized proteins produce hormone's specific effects.
The control source that brings conditions back to normal, effectors gradually reduce until they shut down Negative Feedback
Negative Feedback Steps 1. Hormonal Stimulus 2. Neutral Stimulus 3. Humoral Stimulus
RH (Releasing hormone) from the hypothalamus releases hormones from the anterior portion of the pituitary gland (trophic-"nourishment" hormones) In this case. Nourishment = Stimulation Hormonal Stimulus
Trophic also known as Stimulate to release
Nervous system directly stimulates some glands. Ex: Adrenal Medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine OR adrenaline and noradrenaline Neutral Stimulus
High blood levels of a given hormone (or its predecessors or products) serve to "turn off" or inhibit further section of that hormone. Humoral Stimulus
Means blood Humoral
Endocrine Glands 1. Pituitary 2. Thyroid 3. Parathyroids 4. Adrenal Medulla 5. Adrenal Cortex 6. Pancreatic Islets 7. Pineal Gland

Pink or red colored, has course cytoplasmic granules, moderates allergic reactions and defends against parasitic worm infestations. Eosinophils
Deep blue colored, fewer irregularly shaped cytoplasmic granules, releases histamine, which promotes inflammation and heparin, which inhibits blood clotting, thus increasing blood flow to injured tissues. Basophils
Types of agranulocytes Monocytes and Lymphocytes

Slightly larger than erythrocytes, T-cells and B-cells, both important in immunity. Lymphocytes
Directly attacks microorganisms, tumor cells and transported cells T cells
Produces antibodies which are proteins that attack foreign molecules. B cells
Cell fragments that participate in blood clotting, cells do not have nuclei or DNA. Thrombocytes or platelets
Hemostaisis- Blood stoppage may occur by ways 1-2 1. Blood vessel spasm-vasospasm-vasoconstriction 2.Platelet plug formation- utilizing platelets & collagen fibers.
Hemostaisis- Blood stoppage may occur by ways 3-4 3. Extrinsic clotting- blood contacts damaged vessel walls or tissues outside blood vessels. 4. Intrinsic clotting mechanism- when blood comes into contact with something other than smooth epithelial tissue initiating clotting from inside the vessel.
Ways to prevent clotting or coagulation: 1. Smooth lining of blood vessel 2. Postscyclin 3. Fibrin threads 4. Antithrombin in fibers 5. Heparin
Prevents clotting by inhibiting platelets from attaching to blood vessel walls Postacyclin
Prevents clotting by absorbing thrombin Fibrin thread
Prevents clotting by interfering with thrombin action Antithrombin in plasma
Prevents clotting by cells being located predominately in the liver and lungs, interferes with the formation of prothrombin activator. Heparin
Indicates the type of antigen or marker located on the surface of a Red blood celles A, B, AB, O
Is a universal donor, lack A and B antigens O
Is the universal acceptor AB
Steps 1-4 of the life cycle of a red blood cell 1. Hemoatopoiesis-formation begins in the epiphysis of bone. 2. Hemocytoblasts stem cells-origin of all formed cells. 3. Myeloid cell formation- gives rise to reticulocytes 4. Reticulocytes unable to synthesize proteins, grow or divide.
Steps 5-7 of the life cycle of a red blood cell 5. Rbc's age, becoming rigid, & begin to fragment & fall apart 6. Damaged or worn out rbc's rupture when passing through liver or spleen. 7. Macrophages phagotizes units, sending bilirubin & heme to liver to recycle as platelets.
Step 8 of the life cycle of a red blood cell 8. Negative feedback is controlled by erythropoietin in response to oxygen levels. If enough cells are destroyed, oxygen levels will drop and the hormone will stimulate hematopoiesis to begin again.
