ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

QuestionAnswer
2 main classes of hormones Steroid Peptide Hormone
Peptide Hormones water-soluble and bind to receptors on the surface of target cells they include a signaling cascade that leads to a rapid, but short-lived, response.
Steroid Hormones fat-soluble and can pass through the plasma membrane and bind to receptors inside the cell. They induce changes in cellular gene expression, so their effects are longer lasting
Positive feedback the response to a deviation will lead to a larger response to a deviation will lead to a larger response large physical changes <delivery a baby>
Negative Feedback a process in which a deviation from normal is detected, a response is made, and the response alleviates need for further action to address the deviation <high blood glucose.. will inhibit insulin>
Regulatory gland of Endocrine system Hypothalamus (located in the brain under the thalamus)
OXYTOCIN stimulates uterine contractions during labor
VASOPRESSIN (antidiuretic hormone) induces water reabsorption in the Kidney.
Anterior Pituitary releases Direct Hormone: stimulate a response directly at a target organ Tropic Hormones: induce hormone release by other glands
FOLLICLE_STIMULATING HORMONE (FSH) Female, induces the maturation of an ovarian follicles Male, stimulates spermatogenesis
LUTEINIZING HORMONE (LH) Female, induces ovulation Male, stimulate testosterone production
ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE (ACTH) stimulate the adrenal glands to release hormones
THYROID_STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) stimulate the thyroid gland to release thyroid hormones
PROLACTIN induces milk production at the mammary glands in females
ENDORPHINS inhibit the perception of pain
GROWTH HORMONE Target: most cell of body : muscle, connective tissue Response: increase growth or healing (tissue regeneration) Stimulus: normal development decrease GH Hypothalamus release: GHRH Anti-pituitary release GH Mechanism: increase protein synthesis, mitosis
PINEAL GLAND light-dark cycles secretes melatonin to regulate sleep cycles
THYROID & PARATHYROID locate in the Neck control both metabolism and calcium balance
PARATHYROID HORMONE response to low blood calcium induces the breakdown of bone to increase blood calcium levels
THYROID HORMONES (T3 and T4) thyroid gland, upon stimulation by TSH, will absorb iodine and produce thyroid hormones regulate metabolic rate releases calcitonin in response to high blood calcium levels and induces the storage of calcium in bone
HYPOTHYROIDISM caused insufficient thyroid hormone production, and symptoms include weight gain, fatigue, and cold intolerance.
HYPERTHYROIDISM caused by overproduction of thyroid hormones Symptoms: weight loss, hyperactivity, and heat tolerance
PANCREAS release 2 main hormones INSULIN GLUCAGON
INSULIN response to high blood glucose. induces the storage of glucose in glycogen and stimulates glucose uptake by cells
GLUCAGON response to low blood sugar. induces the release of glucose from glycogen stores and gluco-neogenesis.
TYPE I DIABETES caused by damaged to the cells that produce Insulin, treated with administration of exogenous insulin
TYPE II DIABETES caused by insulin resistance the body still produces insulin, but the cells are unable to respond managed with diet and lifestyle changes.
ADRENAL GLANDS secrete located just above the kidneys composed of an outer cortex and inner medulla EPINEPHRINE induce "fight or flight" response
regulates salt balance ALDOSTERONE
leads to development of secondary female sex characteristics ESTROGEN produce by Ovary
maintains the uterine wall PROGESTERONE released by the Ovaries
development of secondary male sex characteristics during puberty TESTOTERONE induces male sexual differentiation in utero

2. Which of the following best explains what occurs after a person eats a meal high in refined sugar? (A) Blood glucose rises, triggering a release of insulin and causing blood glucose to increase (B) blood glucose drops, triggering a release of glucagon and causing blood glucose to increase (C) Blood glucose rises, triggering a realease of insulin and
Stimulus: increase[UV], pregnancy Anti-pituitary: median eminence release MSH Target: (epidemis) melanocytes Response: increase skin pigmentation (melanin production) MSH (malanocyte stimulating Hormone)
1. Water- soluble hormones (all amino acid-based hormones except thyroid hormone) 2. Lipid-soluble hormones (steroid and thyroid hormones) TWO POSSIBLE HORMONAL ACTION
one hormone cannot exert its effect w/o another hormone being present Ex: reproductive hormones need thyroid hormone to have effect PERMISSIVENESS
more than one hormone produces same effects on target cells, causing amplification Ex: glucagon and epinephrine both cause liver to release glucose SYNERGISM
one or more hormones oppose(s) action of another hormone Ex: insulin and glucagon ANTAGONISM
MALE (FSH) Hypothalamus release: GnRH Anti-pituitary release: FSH Target: Seminiferous tubules Response: initiate sperm production

? Hormone action on target cells
Hypersecretion of GH caused by anterior pituitary tumor - children result in gigantism : height reach to 8 feet - adult result in acromegaly: overgrowth of hands, feet, face Hyposecretion of GH - childrem results in pituitary dwarfism: Homeostatic Imbalance
receptor protein inside the target cell
amino acid base and water soluble
hormone cascades the result of one kind of hormone bossing around the cells that produce another kind of hormone
steroidal and lipid-soluble
HPA Axis effects your stress response - hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis - Adrenal gland: shutdown digestion release energy increase blood pressure
HPT Axis - hypothalamus. pituitary thyroid axis release TRH into the bloodstream come to the anterior pituitary release TSH into bloodstream -thyroid: regulate just about everything related to your homeostasis Ex: Left the jacket in the bus and then Your Endocrine gets involve as soon as your body senses that the temperature of your blood has change
burning Glucose breaking it down so its component parts can be used to produce ATP
Metabolism
Calorigenic
Thyroid hormone For forgot the jacket in the bus maintaining blood pressure promoting the growth of tissue triggering the secretion of digestive juices
If much people like her mean "Auto immune disease" Abnormal antibody: thyrotropin receptor antibodies (TRAb) mimic hormones If thyroid doesn't stop that's why the sign u to stop Thyroid eye disease those disruptive anti bodies cause inflammation Like her always hot and sweaty: + Her hypothalamus was screaming that she was warm enough, but those antibodies were hijacking the hormone cascade. and she lose weight even eat over time because thyroid no longer regulating her metabolism properly
