| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Secretes a type of hormone to regulate the body | glands |
| Functions of hormones | mood, growth and development, tissue function and metabolism |
| Direct cell signaling | typically involves the movement of ions via gap junctions |
| signaling cell releases a chemical messenger that binds to a receptor on the target cell and activates a signal transduction pathway | indirect cell signaling |
| paracrine | diffusion to a nearby cell |
| autocrine | diffusion back to the signaling cell |
| endocrine | hormone is transported by the circulatory system |
| neural | electrical signal travels along a neuron and releases a neurotransmitter |
| Three steps of indirect signaling | 1)release of chemical messenger; 2)transport of the messenger through the extracellular enviornment to the target cell; 3)communication of the signal to the target cell |
| types of messengers of indirect signaling | hydropphobic(cross membrane by diffusion); and hydrophilic (bind to receptor) |
| a chemical released by one or more cells that affects cells in other parts of the organism | hormones |
| hormonal signaling involves: | biosynthesis; storage and secretion; transport; recognition; relay and amplification(aka translation)(leads to cellular response); degradation |
| hormone actions on target cells | 1)alter plasma membrane permeability; 2)synthesis of proteins; 3)activate or deactivate enzyme systems; 4)mitosis |
| hormones can be divided into 3 classes | 1)amino acid derivatives; 2)peptide hormones; 3)lipid derivatives |
| hormone receptor | protein molecule; responds to several different hormones; combination of receptors; specific receptor |
| agonists | activate receptors |
| antagonists | block receptors; prevent response from happening |
| ligand-gated ion channels | 1)ligand binds receptor; 2) receptor changes shape opening a channel; 3)ions move across membrane;4)concentration and electrical gradients dictate movement;5)alters membrane potential |
| Receptor Enzymes | activated ligand starts a phosphorylation cascade; name based on the reaction catalyzed |
| G protein | enzyme complex coupled to membrane receptor; second messenger |
| cAMP signaling mechanism | 1st messenger binds to receptor;g-protein activated; adenylate cyclase activated; converts ATP to cAMP(2nd messenger);protein kinases |
| peptide hormones | synthesized on rough ER; stored in vesicles; exocytosis; hydrophilic; bind to transmembrane receptors; rapid effects |
| steroid and thyroid hormones | must be synthesized on demand;transport by carrier proteins(albumin);regulate transcription(slow effects); hydrophobic; synthesis smooth ER or mitochondria; can't be stored w/in cell |
| Negative Feedback of regulation of cell signaling | any change from normal; maintains homeostasis |
| positive feedback of regulation of cell signaling | accelerate or enhance; moves away from normal levels |

| what is the location of suprarenal (adrenal)glands | lie along superior border of each kidney |
| superficial suprarenal cortex | stores lipids; manufactures steroid hormones(glucocorticoids[cortisol] and mineralocorticoids[aldosterone]) |
| inner suprarenal medulla | secretions controlled by sympathetic of ANS; produces epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine; metabolic changes persist for several minutes |
| pineal gland | contains pinealocytes=synthesize hormone melatonin |
| functions of melatonin | slows maturation of sperm; antioxidant(protect against damage by free radicals); setting circadian rhythms |
| insulin | peptide hormone release by beta cells; affects target cells |
| glucagon | released by alpha cells; mobilizes energy reserves; affects target cells |
| intestines | hormones important to coordination of digestive activities |
| kidneys | produce the hormones calcitriol and erythropoietin; produce the enzyme renin |
| heart | produces natriuretic peptides: resulting in reduction in blood volume and blood pressure |
| thymus | produces thymosins that help develop and maintain normal immune defenses |
| gonads | testes=testosterone; ovaries=estrogen |
| adipose tissue secretions | leptin=feedback control for appetite; resistin=reduces insulin sensitivity |
| name the hormones important to growth | GH; thyroid hormones; insulin; PTH and Calcitriol; reproductive hormones |
| T/F: hydrophobic needs a receptor outside the cell | false they DO NOT |
| amino acid derivatives examples: | thyroid hormones; catecholamines: epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamin; melatonin |
| peptid hormones examples: | EPO, ADH, oxytocin, insulin |
| lipid derivatives examples: | steroid hormones:estrogens, calcitriol; eicosanoids: prostaglandins |
| peptide hormones characteristics | hydrophilic, made in advance, stored in vesciles, released by exocytosis, short life |
| steroid homrones | hydrophobic, made on demand, released by diffusion, long life |
| competitive antagonist | binds to the same site as nautral ligand=which then blocks natural ligand |
| noncompetitive antagonist | does not bind tot he same site as natural ligand-binds at different area of receptor |
| BONUS:spell out cGMP and cAMP | cyclic guanosine monophosphate; cyclic adenosine monophosphate |
| what happens when protein kinases phosphorylate proteins? | makes them excitable |
| G protein activates enzyme phospholipase C triggers? | receptor cascade: production of diacylglycerol(DAG) and inositol triphosphate (IP3) from membrane phospholipids |
| IP3 diffuses into cytoplasm and triggers? | releases of Ca2+ from intracellular reserves ie. smooth ER |
| DAG and Ca2+ activate? | protein kinase C which phosphorylates Ca2+(2nd messenger), opening them and Ca2+ enters the cell (pos. feedback) |
