| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| hypothalamus | a structure deep within your brain |
| calcium | good for bones and teeth. It also helps send message. |
| negative feedback | All about homeostasis |
| lactation | the process of making human milk , neutral carry stimuli to hypothalamus |
| long distance signaling | endocrine |
| paracrine signaling | between cells that are close together |
| Autocrine signaling | triggers a response in the signaling cell |
| juxtacrince signaling | requires direct contact |
| Endocrine signaling | secrete hormone travels long distance to target cell. |
| signal transduction | only cell with the correct receptor can respond |
| receptor s | responds to signal from outside the cell often functions as an enzyme. |
| ligand | binds to the receptor |
| ligand binding | bindes to non-covalent and reversible |
| intracellular | involved in gene regulation by promoting transcription. |
| ion channel | the influx of ions into the cell will trigger a cellular response |
| kinase | protein that phosphorylates other molecules |
| protein kinase | often activates certain protein in the cell by adding phosphate. |
| g protein linked | activated by a transfer of a phosphate from a molecule of GTP. |
| amplification | making more from less cells amplify the message they receive. |
| Endocrine signaling | hormones are chemical messengers that travel through the blood and act on target cell. |
| pituitary gland | master gland that controls all of the other glands. |
| prolactin | stimulates milk production in womans breast after childbirth and can lower sex hormone. |
| growth hormone | stimulates growth in childhood and targets almost all cells but causes the greatest affect in bones. |
| adrenocorticotropin | stimulates production of cortisol by the adrenal gland. |
| cortisol | called the stress hormone is vital to survival. |
| thyroid stimulating | stimulates the thyroid which in turn regulates the bodys metabolism,energy,growth,and development. |
| luteinizing | regulates testosterone production in men and estrogen production in women |
| follicle hormone | promotes sperm production in men and stimulates the ovaries to develop follicle in women |
| oxytocin | causes a milk let down in nursing mothers and contractions during childbirth |
| antidiuretic hormone | this is stored in the break part of the pituitary gland and regulates water balance. |
| adrenal cortex | sits on top of kidney |
| parathyroid gland | makes parathyroid hormone which raises the blood calcium level |
| pineal gland | located in the brain,secretes melanin to regulate circadian rhythm |
| thymus gland | scretes thymosin which is responsible for development of t-cells. |
| testes | produce testosterone. |
| placenta | developes during pregnancy, secretes estrogen and progesterone to support pregnancy |
| pancreas | gland behind the stomach that regulates the blood sugar level. |
| diabetes | can result from insulin deficiency. |
