PHYS T2 Review

Review material from Test 2 Endocrine and Immunology

QuestionAnswer
LECTURE 12 LECTURE 12
What are the three classes of hormones? Amines, proteins, and sterioids
Give an example of amine hormones and their solublity? EPI and NE, water soluble
How are peptides and proteins activated? Tghey must be synthesized as large hormones that are cleaved
What are sterioid hormones produced from? Cholestrol
How do sterioid hormones normally circulate with? Bound with proteins (b/c they're lipids)
What do they end with, name wise? One (e.g. testrostONE, progestrONE)
What does the adrenal medulla secrete? What about the cortex? Medulla does EPI and NE, cortex does steroid hormones
What are some steroid hormones released fromt he cortex? Aldostrone, cortisol
What is the role of aldostrone? Role w/ kidney's handling of sodium, K+
What structures remove hormones? Kidneys and liver
What class of hormones must be attached to proteins in blood, must bind INSIDE target cells, and are lipiid solube? Steroid and thyroid
What is permissiveness? Up regulate or down regulate
What can control hormone release? Concentration of ion/nutrient, ANS input (neurotransmitter), and other hormones (hypothalamus controls a lot)
What connects the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland? Infundibulum
Post. Pit secretes? Oxytocin and vasopressin
How are secretions of ant vs. post pituitary? Post has neural connections to hypothalamus, but ant is controlled by hypphyiotropic hormones
Ant pituitary secrtes? GH, TSH, ACTH (cortisol), PRL, FSH, LH
What hypophsiotropic hormones makes ACTH? TSH? GH? LH? FSH? What inhibits GH? What about PROLACTIN (PRL)? CRH; TSH, GNRH, somastostatin inhibits GH, DA inhibits PRL
Long loop vs. short loop? Long loop acts on the hypotropic hormone. Short loop acts on the secreter of the original hormone
What is the role of the pineal gland with SAD? Light inhibits melatonin, but darkness stimulates its release-->SAD when there is no light
Primary disorder vs. secondary disorder? Defect with hormone secreter vs. defect with tropic hromone
What does thryroid gland secrete? T4 > T3
Improtant element involved with growth, brain developement, and metabolic rate of thryoid hormone? Iodine
What does cortisol have permissive effects upon? Glucogeogenesis, SNS (EPI and NE)
How does a synapse occur? Travels along axon-->opens Ca+-->release neurootransmitter
Does the vestiublar system (located in the temporal membrane) impact hearing? NOPE! just posture
What is the most important dfense of the immune system? SKIN
Non-specific defenses generally have what characteristics? Very fast, first there..
Macrophages have a role in what (specific/non-specific?) Non-specific
Cytotoxic T-cells function to/ Destroy our own cells
What are NON-SPECIFIC responders? (4) Neutrophils, mast cells, macrophages, and NK cells
Which of teh non-specific responders are FIRST RESPONSE? Neutrophils and NK cells
What do mast cells have a role in? Inflmation (think allergies)
What is the main purpose of macrophages? They eat stuff, but they're MOST IMPORTANTLY Antigen Presenting Cells (APC)
Is your skin part of your specific or non-specific defense? Non-specific...you know that.l
Which of the following does NOT have a role in inflmamation? A. Mast Cells B. Neutrophils C. B-Cells D. Macrophages C. B-cells. Remember that they are part of the SPECIFIC immune system. Inflmamation is unique to NON-SPECIFIC.
Which of the following makes antibodies? A. B-cells B. Macrophages. C. T-cells. D. All of the above? A. B-cells (through plasma cells)
What must happen to b-cells to make antibodies? What do they need help from, I mean? Helper-T-cells
What must happen to activate helper T-cells? Antigen presentation by MHC Class II
What are some MHC Class II molecules? MHC Class I? MHC Class II: Macrophages and B-cells MHC Class I: All cells in our body
What does MHC class one activate? Cytotoxic T-cells
Recall: What did Cytotoxic t-cells do? Kill our own "bad" cells by apoptosis (programmed cell death)
What is tremendously impacted during AIDS? Helpter-T-cells
What is clonal deletion? When our body kills our bad cells that disagree with other cells...
