Jeopardy Review Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| diabetes insipidus | This is a condition resulting from hyposecretion of ADH in which large volumes of urine are formed |
| steroid hormones | their receptors are located in the target cells' nucleus |
| FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone) | stimulates the testes to grow and form sperm |
| Calcitonin | this hormone decrease the concentration of calcium in blood, inhibits action of osteoclasts |
| hormones | these are substances secreted by an endocrine gland and transported in the blood |
| prostaglandins | they behave much like hormones but usually affect neighboring cells in tissue instead of traveling through the bloodstream to affect distant cells |
| LH (Luteinizing hormone) | this is the ovulation hormone, testosterone production in males |
| insulin | secreted by beta cells |
| target cell | an organ or cell acted on by a particular hormone, receptors of which hormone attaches |
| pituitary gland | secretions from this gland is controlled by releasing hormones of the hypothalamus |
| prolactin | stimulates breast development necessary for eventual lactation (milk secretion) |
| Cushing's syndrome | result of hypersecretion of glucocorticoids |
| nonsteroidal hormones | communicators work according to the second messenger mechanism, water soluble hormone receptor on outer surface of membrane |
| hormone | causes its target cell to react in particular ways |
| oxytocin | stimulates contraction of smooth muscle of the pregnant uterus |
| acromegaly | pituitary gland secretes too much growth hormone after the normal growth years |
| negative feedback | physiological process, a gland is sensitive to the concentration of the substance |
| steroid hormones | lipid soluble and pass through the cell membrane |
| pituitary gland | oxytocin and ADH are produced in this structure |
| PTH (Parathyroid hormone) | this hormone has the opposite effect of calcitonin |
| Tropic hormones | hormones that act in other endocrine glands |
| antidiuretic | causes kidney to return more water into the blood |
| thyroid hormone | T3+T4 increase basal metabolic rate |
| glucocorticoids | regulates metabolism and resistance to stress |
| epinephrine/norepinephrine | intensify sympathetic responses that occur in other parts of the body |
