Endocrine is used for

communiticating with the rest of the body, its one of two systems.

Hormones come in two major forms:

petides/proteins and amins (growth hormone, insultin, oxytocin, epinephrine) and lipid based hormones (steroids, prostaglandins and amines)

generic endocrine pathway-diffuse into the blood and trigger a response in the body somewhere

diffuse locally parachuting into where needed and tiggering a response in neighboring.

secreted to trigger the cells to start secreting themselves.

Neurotransmitors diffuse across syanpas and trigger a response in the target tissue, work on neurons, muscles and shit

signal-transduction pathways allow for small amounts of a hormone to have a large effect

large protein found in the membrane surface or cytoplamic surface or the nuclear one.

Peptide hormones usually act with a

membrane receptor because these are water soluble hormones that can't diffuse across the lipid layer

Steroid hormones interact with

nuclear receptors, because they are fat soluble hormones and usually have to do with transcription factors so need to got the nuclear region anyways.

third ventricle of the brain secretes hormones that influence the synthesse and release of pituitary hormones (GnRH, TRH, and dopamine) Goes into the blood vessel system between hypothalmus and pituitary.

Pituitary has two parts the

adenohypophysis (anterior) and neurohypophysis (posterior)

two lobes in the neck, controls hormones Thyroxine and triiodothyronine which need iodine. Controls metablosim and developement of the nervous system.

Two hormones produced in Islets of Langerhans (glucogan and insulin)

associated with kidneys, produces steroid hormones and plays a major role in stress response.

Andrenal has two parts

Andrenal cortex-outer layer, the true endocrine cells, and the andrenal medula which is the central portion

Gonadotrpin stimulates ... and is stimulted by

Gonadotropin stimulates the gonads and is stimulated by the FSH and LH

Follicle stimulating hormone

stimulates gametogenesis or the growth of follicles in both male and female

stimulates all th steroids needed for girls and boys lubing it up

stimulates lacting, who'd have thoght

stimulates contractions, to much can have the reverse effect

found virtually in all tissues and organs, prostaglandins are in NSAID because block COX aspect of the swelling and inflammation.

Question	Answer
Endocrine is used for	communiticating with the rest of the body, its one of two systems.
Hormones come in two major forms:	petides/proteins and amins (growth hormone, insultin, oxytocin, epinephrine) and lipid based hormones (steroids, prostaglandins and amines)
Endocrine signaling	generic endocrine pathway-diffuse into the blood and trigger a response in the body somewhere
Paracrine signaling	diffuse locally parachuting into where needed and tiggering a response in neighboring.
Autocrine signaling	secreted to trigger the cells to start secreting themselves.
Synaptic signaling	Neurotransmitors diffuse across syanpas and trigger a response in the target tissue, work on neurons, muscles and shit
Neuroendocrine signaling	is a neurohormone
Amplification	signal-transduction pathways allow for small amounts of a hormone to have a large effect
REceptors are	large protein found in the membrane surface or cytoplamic surface or the nuclear one.
Peptide hormones usually act with a	membrane receptor because these are water soluble hormones that can't diffuse across the lipid layer
Steroid hormones interact with	nuclear receptors, because they are fat soluble hormones and usually have to do with transcription factors so need to got the nuclear region anyways.
Hypothalmus	third ventricle of the brain secretes hormones that influence the synthesse and release of pituitary hormones (GnRH, TRH, and dopamine) Goes into the blood vessel system between hypothalmus and pituitary.
Pituitary has two parts the	adenohypophysis (anterior) and neurohypophysis (posterior)
Thyroid	two lobes in the neck, controls hormones Thyroxine and triiodothyronine which need iodine. Controls metablosim and developement of the nervous system.
Endocrine Pancreas	Two hormones produced in Islets of Langerhans (glucogan and insulin)
Andrenal	associated with kidneys, produces steroid hormones and plays a major role in stress response.
