Cyndi's Chapter Six- Nationals
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Hormones | Increasing or decreasing cellular processes. Are transported in the blood, derived from amino acids or steroids. They target organs and cells in low blood concentration |
| Endocrine System | works with the nervous system to maintain homeostasis. Endocrine is involved primarily with the physiologic function. Functional=hormone molecules include antistressor, maintain electrolytes, H2O,blood nutrients,metabolism & energy,& our form-long acting |
| Functional aspects of Endocrine | Defence against stressors, maintainance of electrolyte, water and nutriants balance in blood. It regulates cellular metabolism and energy balance- endocrine control is slow, long |
| Hypersecretion | abnormal increase in endocrine secretion/ excessive release of hormones-tumors are often responsible |
| Hypothalamus/ Neuroendocrine organ=Crown or Brow Chakra | Mind/body/never link. Translates nerve impulses into hormone secretion by endocrine glands- blood pressure, body temp., fluid and electrolyte balance- Primary influence over the pitutary gland which turns controls on for other endocrine glands w/ hormones |
| Endocrine disorders | 1)some cancers produce hormonelike substances that cause endo. syndromes 2)abnormal decrease in hormone receptors on target cells 3)target cells w/ abnormal metabolic responses to hormon-receptors |
| Hyposecretion | insufficent release of hormone secretion- abnormalities in immune function, tumors can be the cause |
| Limbic System | Located in the interior of the cerebrum and connects to the hypothalamus-emotional response |
| Pituitary gland= Crown/Brow Chakra | secretes hormones that regulate growth, fluid balance,lactation and childbirth. Main source of tropic hormones that have a stimulating effect on other endocrine glands. The Hypothalamus regulates the pituitary gland |
| Posterior Pituitary Lobe | Not a true endocrine gland because it only stores and releases hormones but does not synthesesize them. Secret 2 hormones |
| Anterior Pituitary Lobe | Secdretes 7 major hormones-Growth/somatotropin hormone(grow,repair and rebuild,stores fat, raises blood glucose) Anterior Stimulates most body cells to increase size and divide. Major target bones and muscle. |
| Adernal Glands= Root Chakra | 2 Adrenal glands-on top of ea. kidney,inner portion=medulla/ outer portion=cortex- |
| Endocrine Glands = Chakra system | ductless glands=secrete hormones in blood stream EI;Pituitary,thyroid,parathyroid,adrenal,pineal and thymus. |
| Endocrine Tissue | pancreas,ovaries,testes produce hormones in exocrine products. |
| Exocrine gland | duct glands=secrete in areas salivary,sweat |
| Endorphins | Peptide hormones that mainly work like morphoine to supress pain. In fluence mood, producing a mild euphoric feeling- runners high |
| Half-life | The amount of time required for half of a hormone to be eliminated from the blood stream |
| Negative feed back system | A control mechanisum that provides a stimulus to decrease a function |
| Tropic/trophic hormone | hormones produced by the endocrine glands that affect other endocrine glands=Pituitary gland is the primary source of trophic hormone |
| ACTH-Adrenocorticotropic hormone | Tropic hormone that promotes & maintain normal growth & development of adrenal cortex stimulating androgens ei, testosterone. stress/mod. fevers/hypoglycemia increase ACTH |
| THS-Thyroid stimulating hormone | trophic hormone promotes & maintains growth/develpoment of thyroid gland & controls the release of thyroid hormones in a negative feedback system. THS-increases in cold temps |
| Follicle-stimulating hormone | AnteriorPituitaryHormone-TropicHormone-influences positively by cold hydrotherapy-stimulates growth and maturity of ovarian follicles- in men secretes estrogen stimulates sperm production |
| Luteinizing hormone | Tropic hormone in women causes ovulation/ in men production and secretion of testosterone |
| Prolactin | Women-breast development and milk production when stimulated by the central nervous system. Involved in the immune system |
| Melanocyte stimulating hormone | acts on pigment cells and adrenal glands. |
| Posterior Pituitary Hormones | Made up by Hypothalamic neurons and stored in the the posterior pituitary gland |
| Oxytocin | stimulates smooth muscle contraction, especially in the uterus. Child birth, releases milk, bonds mother and child- both sexes supports bonding between couples and ehances parental behavior |
| ADH-Antidiuretic hormone/vasopressin | Stimulates the kidneys to remove water from urine and release it into the blood stream. Release of ADH- pain, anxiety,nicotine,traquilizers and low blood pressure. ADH increases BP, decrease Perspiration |
| Thyroid gland=Throat Chakra | Regulates metabolism and maintains oxygen consumption. |
| Isthum | the bridge that connects the right and left lobe of the thyroid gland. The gland lies on the treachea below the thyroid cartlidge |
| Hyperthyroidism | autoimmune disorder-decrease of thyroid releaseing hormone from hypothalamus. perimenopausal women 35-45. |
| Parathyroid Glands | 4 pea sized bodies located on the posterior surface of the thyroid lobes-"parathormone"=combined w/vitD decreases the amt of Ca excreted |
| Pancreas-Solar Plex | Behind stomach @ the thoracolumbar junction and navel. Excocrine&Endocrine aids in digestion and hormone islets of Langerhans=insulin and glucagon & amylin(agnostic to insulin) somatostatin-inhibits all hormones. |
| Islets of Langerhans | Secrete insulin which lowers glucose levels |
| Insulin | Pancreas releases insulin when levels of blood sugar, amino acids&Fatty acids rise. Supplies energy. |
| Glucagon | Alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans secrete this hormone=increases blood glucose(opposite of Insulin response). Growth hormones stimulate these cells -part of the feedback loop in hypoglycemia. High amino acids raise glucagon |
| Hypothalamic release | massage supports hypothalamic release of growth-releasing hormones |
| Hypothalamus supporter | Loving relationships support growth hormone function in the adult |
| Type II Diabetic basics | Insulin is released when levels of blood sugar, amino acids and fatty acids rise |
| Epinephrine- Adrenaline | Adrenal Medulla= parasympathetic nervous system/ sympathetic autonomic nervous system. Epinephrine hormone extends the fight or flight response. |
| Cortisol | The resistance phase of Selyes general adaptation response is most supported by this hormone-synthesizes amino acids into glucose when the body has no fat or glycogen stored for energy.Massage directly effects for sleep |
| Androgens | Male sex hormones |
| Pineal Gland- 3rd Eye Crown/Brow Chakra | Endocrine gland most sensitive to light and dark circles/ sleep. Inside brain w/in the diencephalon and surrounded by pia matter-in sight and awareness |
| Massage influences Endocrine System | Influence on the autonomic nervous system |
| Massage effect on Hypothalamus | stimulates |
| Prostaglandins | Tissue hormones- chronic inflamation condition. |
| Thyroid disorder | Dry skin, joint pain,edema. |
| Andolsterone | Mineralocorticord-sodium&potassium regulating steroid. Causes kidneys to reabsorb more sodium and water and excrete more potassium and hydrogen |
| Erythropoietin | If oxygen levels drop the kidneys produce this to simulate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow |
| Melatonin | regulates the rhythms of the body |
| Testes and Ovaries-Root Chakra | Male and female gonads located in pelvic area and produce sex hormones identical to those of the adrenal cortex but in much larger amounts. |
| Progesterone | sex hormone |
| Thymus- Heart/Spleen Chakra | Deep to the sternum/4-5thoracic vertrea. Considered part of the lymphatic system - endocrine secretions |
