Question
Answer
Gap Junction   cells connected that allows for a signal to be conducted from one cell to another  
🗑
Paracrine   a messenger that stimulates a cell that is close to it  
🗑
Autocrine   a messenger that stimulates itself  
🗑
hormone   released from endocrine cells  
🗑
Neurotransmitter   released into interstitial fluid from neurons  
🗑
Neurons   nerve cells  
🗑
cytokine   released by white blood cells  
🗑
proteins are packaged by the...   golgi apparatus  
🗑
carrier proteins   proteins that carry lipophilic hormones thru the blood stream  
🗑
Lipophilic   fat soluble  
🗑
lipophobic   water soluble  
🗑
"g" protein   uses a 2nd messenger  
🗑
tyrosine   used by the thyroid  
🗑
cAMP   2nd messenger involved in "g" protein linked receptors  
🗑
synaptic vessicles   store neurotransmitters  
🗑
synapse   connection between 2 neurons  
🗑
cortisone   steroid  
🗑
catacholamines   EPI, Norepi, dopamine  
🗑
adenalyte cyclase   Activated by a "g" protein linked receptor  
🗑
Adenalyte cyclase   converts ATP to cAMP  
🗑
Protein Kinase   enzyme that activates a change in the phys of a cell  
🗑
Homeostasis   controlled by the Nervous system and endocrine system  
🗑
Amino Acids   Function as neurotransmitters in the brain and spinal chord - water soluble - lipophobic  
🗑
Amines   modified amino acids - catacholamines, seratonin, thyroid and hisamine  
🗑
Peptide and Protein messengers   chains of amino acids - lipophobic  
🗑
steroid   lipid soluble messenger, made in smooth ER  
🗑
Eicosanoids   Paracrines, prostoglandins, leukotrines & thromboxins  
🗑
Amino acid synthesis   synthesized by glucose, stored until needed in vessicles  
🗑
Amine synthesis...   synth in cytosol in rough ER, stored in vessicles packaged by Golgi Apparatus  
🗑
Eicosanoid synthesis   Synth on demand, cannot be stored  
🗑
Peptide & protein synthesis   stored until needed  
🗑
Steroid synthesis   Cannot be stored, synthesized on demand  
🗑
1/2 life of a lipid   hours  
🗑
1/2 life of a lipophobic   minutes  
🗑
1/2 life   amount of time that it takes for 1/2 of the substance to degrade  
🗑
signal transduction   where the receptors are on the cell membrane or inside it  
🗑
Up regulation   more response needed = increased # of working receptors  
🗑
down regulation   too much chemical = decreased # of working receptors  
🗑
Paracrine   communicate with a neighbor cell  
🗑
Autocrine   Acts on itself  
🗑
Hormone   chemical released from an endocrine cell  
🗑
Neurohormones   released by nerve impulses  
🗑
cytokines   released from white blood cells  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
