Question
Answer
What are hormones   Chemical messengers released into the blood and are transported throughout the body  
🗑
8 process controlled by hormones   *Reproduction *Growth and development *mobilizing body defenses *maintain electrolyte balance of blood *Maintain nutrient balance of bllod *maintain water balance of blood *regulate cell metabolism thyroid *regulate energy balance partiel thyroid  
🗑
Hormone chemical classifications   *Non-steroidal (amino acid-based molecules) *Steroids (made from cholesterol  
🗑
Target Cells/Target organs   The cells/organs that hormones affect *hormones increase or decrease the rate of a normal metabolic process  
🗑
Steroidal Hormones   Hormone-receptor complex binds to specific sites on cell's DNA *Activates certain genes to transcribe mRNA  
🗑
Nonsteroidal Hormones   *Hormone binds to membrane receptor *Enzyme catalyzes reaction that produces a 2nd messenger molecule (Camp)  
🗑
Hormonal Stimuls   Other hormones encourage endocrine organs into action *The hormones made by the target glands increase and feed back and tell the glands to stop or slow down production  
🗑
Humoral   The blood levels of certain ions and nutrients that change stimulate hormone release as soon as the levels increase enough secretion stops  
🗑
Neural Stimulus   Nerve fibers stimulate hormone release *Sympathetic nervous systems (fight flight fright)  
🗑
Endocrine Glands   No Ducts! Ductless! rich blood supply  
🗑
Exocrine Glands   *HAVE ducts! *Release products at the body's surface or into body cavities through ducts  
🗑
9 Major Endocrine Organs   *pituitary gland:anterior pituitary is ENDOCRINE*Thyroid *Parathyroid *Adrenal *pineal *thymus ALL ENDOCRINE *Pancreases *Gonads *Hypothalamus are both endocrine and exocrine  
🗑
. 5 Anterior Pituitary gland (glandular tissue)   *Growth hormone GH: effect non endocrine targets *Prolactin: effect non endocrine targets breast milk *Thyrotropic: tropic hormone *Gonadotropic 2 hormones: tropic hormones  
🗑
Tropic Hormones   Stimulate their target organs (endocrine oragns) to secrete hormones which exerts their effects on other body organs and tissues  
🗑
Anterior Pituitary hormones are   Proteins *act as 2nd messenger system *regulated by hormonal stimuli (negative feedback  
🗑
Growth Hormone functions   *Growth of skeletal muscles and long bones *Cause amino acids to be built into proteins *stimulate most target cells to grow in size and divide *HELPS MAINTAIN BLOOD SUGAR  
🗑
Prolactin (PRL)   Targets breast in humans milk prodcution no know function in males similar to GH  
🗑
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)   Regulates adrenal cortex (OUTSIDE) activity  
🗑
Thyroid Stimulate Hormone (TSH)   Influences growth and activity of thyroid gland  
🗑
Gonadotropic hormones   Regulates hormonal activity of Gonads *FEMALES Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) Luteinizing Hormone (LH) *MALES Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) LH= Interstitial cell stimulating hormone (ISCH)  
🗑
Anterior Pituitary Gland =   Master Endocrine Gland  
🗑
Hypothalamus makes   Oxytocin and Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)  
🗑
Posterior Pituitary Gland Stores   Oxytocin and Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)  
🗑
Oxytocin   *Released during childbirth and in nursing females *Stimulates contractions of uterus during child birth, during sexual relations, when breast feeding *Causes milk ejection (let-down reflex) when nursing *doesn't make the hormones it secretes  
🗑
Antidiuretic hormone   Inhibits or prevents production of urine *Causes kidneys to absorb more water from forming urine so urine volume decrease and blood volume increases *Diuretics (drugs) antagonize effects of ADH so flush water from body  
🗑
Thyroid Gland   *At base of throat inferior to adam's apple *2 lobes joined by an isthmus *makes thyroid hormone and calcitonin *is two iodine containing hormones Thyroxine Trilodothyronie T3  
🗑
Calcitonin (Thyrocalcitonin)   decreases levels of blood calcium causes calcium to be deposited in bones *antagonist to parathyroid hormone *released into blood when blood calcium increase *Theory production is meager or ceases in elderly  
🗑
Parathyroid Gland   On posterior thyroid gland *2 glands on each thyroid love 4 total * secrete parathyroid hormone=parathormone *regulates calcium levels in blood  
🗑
adrenal cOrtex   glandular tissue Outside  
🗑
adrenal medulla   neural tissue and INSIDE  
🗑
Adrenal cortex produces 3 groups of steroid hormones   *Mineralocorticoids *glucocorticoids *Sex hormones outside to inner MGS= maple grove sucks  
🗑
Mineralocorticoids   Aldosterone is made on the OUTERMOST layer *regulates salt content of blood *Regulate water and electrolyte balance in body fluids  
🗑
Corticoids   produced in middle layer *cortison & cortisol *control inflammation by decreasing edema *reduce pain by prostaglandins *glucose release in the blood  
🗑
Cortison vs Cortisol   Cortison= synthetic Cortisol = produced by body adrenals  
🗑
Sex hormones   Produced by innermost layer of cortex  
🗑
Androgens   male sex hormones  
🗑
Estrogens   Female sex hormones  
🗑
adreneal=   superrenal  
🗑
addisons disease   not enough secretion hyposecretion of adrenal cortex hormones *Problems with electrolyte and water balance *muscle weakness, shock  
🗑
Signs of addisons disease   Bronze skin tone * hypoglycemia *decreased ability to deal with stress * immune system suppression  
🗑
Cushing's syndrome   tumor in middle layer of adrenal cortex *hypersecretion of aldosterone  
🗑
Signs of cushing's syndrome   HTN *moon face *buffalo hump or fat on upper back *hyperglycemia and maybe DM *weak bones *depressed immune system  
🗑
HTN=   hyper tension high blood pressure  
🗑
Adrenal medulla   Nervous tissue (inside of adrenal gland)  
🗑
catechoiamines   help body deal with short term stressor *stimulated by sympathetic nervous system  
🗑
Pancreatic islets   Islets of langerhans endocrine part of pancreases eye lid *exocrine aspect of pancrease deals with digeston  
🗑
Pancreatic islets hormones produced   insulin and glucagon insulin decreases bp ONLY hormones that decreases blood glucose  
🗑
increased blood glucose creates..   release of insulin from beta cells of islets  
🗑
Diabetes Mellitus Dm   Normal blood glucose= 80-120 mg/100 ml bld *cells cant use glucose so fats and proteins are broken down and used for energy which causes weight loss  
🗑
3 Cardinal sighns of Dm   *Polyuria-excessive urination *Polydipsia-excessive thirst *Polyphagia-excessive hunger  
🗑
What are the two types of Dm   Type 1= Juvenile onset=Insulin dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) Type 2= Adult onset = non insulin dependent diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) may need insulin oral diabetic diet & exercise  
🗑
Glucagon   Antagonizes insulin released by alpha cell of islets when glucose is low in blood  
🗑
Hyperglycemia   raises blood sugar Target organ is the liver  
🗑
Pineal Gland   Found in the third ventricle of brain secretes MELATONIN peaks at night so we get tired  
🗑
Thymus gland   posterior to sternm large in infants and children decreases in size throughout adulthood produces Thymosin  
🗑
Female gonads   ovaries produce female sex cell eggs/ova Produces estrogens and progesterone  
🗑
Estrogen   Secondary sex characterstics growth reprodutive orans hair in pubic and axilla Estrone and estradiol which is more common  
🗑
Progesterone   Prepares breast tissue for lactation  
🗑
Placenta   Hormone prodced nutrion delivery system for fetus Human chroionic gonadotropin made by embryo and fetal part of placenta  
🗑
testes   Suspeneded in scrotum produces androgens testosterone facial hair heavy bones stimulates male sex drive produces sperm  
🗑
