Exam 1 Endocrine

QuestionAnswer
define the word endo- and crine- to happen inside the body, secretion
what is the difference between endocrine and exocrine exocrine cells use ducts to secrete hormones and endocrine cells do not
what do exocrine cells do and what is an example? secrete products onto epithelial surfaces through DUCTS. ex. salivary glands
What do endocrine cells do and what is an example? secretes cells WITHOUT ducts(ductless) releases hormones directly into the blood stream. ex. Calcitonin
What are the four types of intercellular communication? Direct, Paracrine, Endocrine, and Synaptic Communication
What is the most common intercellular communication? Paracrine
What is direct intercellular communication? when ions and molecules are transferred between 2 adjacent cells of the same type
What is paracrine intercellular communication? When cells in the same tissue transfer information to each other
What is endocrine intercellular communication? When endocrine cells release hormones into the bloodstream and sends messages from far away
Hormone is like a ________, Receptor is like a _______ key, lock
What are 4 common responses of a target cells to a hormone binding? produces new hormone, makes a new enzyme(protein), increase or decrease the rate an enzyme is manufactured , and to open or close a gate
What are the advantages of having bound hormones in circulation? they remain in circulation much longer than free hormones
_________ key released from secretory cell and circulates in _________ until it reaches target cell lock Hormone, Blood
What are the advantages of having bound hormones in circulation? They last longer
What are the three classes of hormones? Amino acid derivatives, Peptide hormones, and Eicosanoids
Are amino acid derivatives free or bound? Bound
Are peptide hormones free or bound? Free
Are Eicosanoids free or bound? Bound
Amino acid derivatives are made from _________and ________. Tyrosine and Tryptophan
What does Tyrosine make? (DENT) Dopamine Epinephrine Norepinephrine Thyroid(T4-thyroxine)
What does Tryptophan make? Melatonin and Serotonin
What are considered the 3 Catecholamines? Dopamine, Epinephrine , and Norepinephrine
What are peptide Hormone derivatives? Glycoproteins and Short polypeptides/small proteins
What are the lipid derivatives? Eicosanoids and Steroid Hormones
What are the four types of Eicosanoids? Leukotrienes, Prostaglandins, Thromboxane, and Prostacyclins
Examples of Leukotrienes? asthma and Rhinitis
Examples of Prostaglandins? pain
What are examples of lipid-soluble steroid hormones? Estrogen, Progesterone , Testosterone , and Corticosteroids
Overexposure to a hormone would cause a cell to_____-regulate its number of receptors. What is the opposite of this and why would it occur? Down, up-regulate…this happens when there is an absence of a specific hormone
What are two places an HRC(hormone receptor complex) can be found? on plasma membrane of target cell, and in cytoplasm or on DNA of a target cell
What is the main difference between lipid-soluble steroid hormone and water-soluble non-steroid hormone? lipid soluble hormones CAN enter cell cytoplasm but water-soluble hormones CANNOT enter a cell and must bind outside(second messenger)
What are lipid-soluble steroid hormones made from? Cholesterol
Do lipid-soluble steroid hormones amplify? no
Are lips-soluble steroid hormones slow or fast? slow
What does Amplification mean? When you make more than what you received with what you were given
What enzyme breaks down cAMP? Phosphodiesterase
What are two things a G-protein does with calcium? Open calcium channels in plasma membranes and Release calcium ions stored inside the cell
What is the location of the hypothalamus? Right above the pituitary gland
what does the Hypothalamus do? Secretes releasing and inhibiting hormones, also controls adrenal medulla.
What kind of tissue is the Anterior Hypophysis (Adenohypophysis)? Glandular
Does the anterior hypophysis (Adenohypophysis) produce or store hormones? Produce
How many hormones does the anterior hypophysis (Adenohypophysis) produce? 7
What kind of tissue is the Posterior hypophysis (Neurohypophysis)? Neurological
Does the posterior hypophysis (Neurohypophysis) produce or store hormones? Store
How many hormones does the posterior hypophysis (Neurohypophysis) store? 2
What are the three anatomical (pars) divisions of adenohypophysis? Pars distalis, Pars Tuberalis, Pars Intermedia
The ________ produces oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and stores them in the posterior pituitary gland. Hypothalamus
The ____________ Produces releasing hormones (RH) and inhibiting hormones (IH) that directly influence the _________ pituitary gland. Hypothalamus, Anterior
The ___________ helps to stimulate the release of Epinephrine and Norepinephrine from the adrenal medulla. Hypothalamus
What are the 2 types of regulatory hormones? Releasing Hormones (RH) and Inhibiting Hormones (IH)
