Question
Answer
endocrine system   bodys second great controlling system which influences metabolic activited by means of hormones responses are slower but last longer  
🗑
endocrine glands   pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pineal, and thymus  
🗑
hypothalamus   part of brain the communicates with pituitary gland both neural functions and releases hormones  
🗑
hormones   long distance chemical signals that travel in blood or lympth travels anywhere  
🗑
autocrines   cell that affects itself  
🗑
paracrines   affects cells around it  
🗑
autocrines and paracrines are local chemical messengers and will/will not be considered part of endocrine system   will not  
🗑
eicosanoids   biologically active lipids with local hormone like activity  
🗑
what are the three types of hormones   1. amino acid based 2. steroids 3. eicosanoids  
🗑
which hormones use second messengers?   amino acid hormones  
🗑
which hormones use direct gene activation   steroid horomes  
🗑
true or false. steroids use secondary messengers   false. amino acid hormones use secondary hormones.  
🗑
TRUE/FALSE... PIP and cyclic AMP are second messengers   true  
🗑
what does PIP and cyclic AMP do?   binds then goes to the next and then there is a final  
🗑
what does protein synthesis do?   repair  
🗑
what do steroid hormones do?   -dna produces mRNA -mRNA is translated to protein  
🗑
what are the three factors that target cell activation depends on?   1. hormones 2. receptors 3. affinity of receptors  
🗑
up regulations   target cells form more receptors in response to the hormone (you make more, like when you life weights)  
🗑
down regulation   target loose receptors in response to hormone (stop lifting weights)  
🗑
the concentration of circulating hormones in blood reflects   1. rate of release 2. speed of inactivation and removal from body  
🗑
most hormones circulate in blood without carriers. which hormones are attached to plasma proteins?   steroids and thyroid hormones  
🗑
how are hormones removed from the blood   1.degrading enzymes 2. the kidneys 3. live enzyme systems  
🗑
the time required for a hormones blood level to decrease by half is known as   half time  
🗑
what are the three types of hormone interaction?   1.permissiveness 2. synergism 3. antagonism  
🗑
what is permissiveness and an example   one hormone cannot exert its effects without another hormone being present ex- thyroid hormone and reproductive system  
🗑
what is synergism and an example   more than one hormone produces the same effects on a target cell ex- glucagon and epinephrine in release of liver glucose (they both do the same thing)  
🗑
what is antagonism and an example   2 hormones oppose each other ex- insulin puts sugar in cells and glucagon raise sugar levels  
🗑
blood level hormones are controlled by   negative feedback systems so, build up hormone, when its at where it needs to be it shuts off  
🗑
secretion of hormones in direct response to changing blood levels of ions and nutrients in known as   humoral stimuli  
🗑
when is PTH secreted   when blood calcium concentration are declining  
🗑
nerve fibers simulate hormone release   neural stimuli  
🗑
catecholamines are   epinephrin norepinephrine dopamine  
🗑
norepinephrine can function as a ____ and ____   neurotransmitter and hormone  
🗑
example of neural stimuli is when   the sympathetic nervous system fibers stimlate the adrenal medulla to secret catecholamines it happens immediately  
🗑
the release of hormones in response to hormones produced by other endocrine organs   hormonal stimuli  
🗑
example of hormonal stimuli   the hypothalamic hormones stimulate the anterior pituitary and in turn, pituitary hormones stimulate targets to secrete more hormones  
🗑
two lobed organ that secretes nine major hormones is   pituitary gland  
🗑
neurohypophysis   posterior lobe and infundibulum doesnt make hormones recieves and stores and releases hormones from the hypothalamus  
🗑
adenohypophysis   anterior lobe- makes hormones and secretes them  
🗑
what tissue makes up the adenohypophysis   glandular tissue  
🗑
what tissue makes up the neurohypophysis   neural tissue  
🗑
the hypothalamus makes hormones and stores it in the ........   posterior lobe (neurohypphysis)  
🗑
the nuclei of the hypothalmus synethesis ____ and _____   oxytin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH  
🗑
what are the anterior pituitary hormones   1. human growth hormone (hGH) 2. thyroid stimulating hormone (tsh) or thyrotropin 3. adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth) 4. follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) 5. luteinizing hormone (lh) 6. prolactin (prl)  
🗑
the ______ sends a chemical stimulus to the anterior pituitary   hypothalamus  
🗑
releasing and inhibiting hormones are made by the   hypothalamus  
🗑
what do the releasing hormones do   stimulate the synethsis and release hormones  
🗑
what do inhibiting hormones do   shut off the synthesis and release of hormones  
🗑
human growth hormones   1. produce cells called somatotrophs) 2. target bones and skeletal muscles 3. use fats for fuel 4. insulin like growth factors  
🗑
what are the actions of growth hormone   stimulates liver, skeletal muscle, bone and cartilidge to produce insulin like growth factors mobilizes fat and elevated blood glucose by decreasing glucose uptake  
🗑
hypersecretion is children causes   giagantism  
🗑
hypersecretion is adults causes   acromegaly which is an explansion of jaw and feet  
🗑
how can gigantisim be fixed   by removing the pituitary tumor  
🗑
what does hyposecretion is children cause and how can it be fixed   dwarfism and can be fixed by GH injections  
🗑
what is the flow chart from thryoid stimuating hormone   hypothalmas>trh>anterior pituitary>tsh>thyroid gland>thyroid hormones>target cells  
🗑
adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulates the ______ to release_______   adrenal cortex corticosteroids  
🗑
corticotroin releasing hormone makes_____   corticotropin  
🗑
which hormone is absent from blood in prepubertal boys and girls   follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) luteinizing hormone (lh)  
🗑
stimulates gamete production   follicle stimulating hormone (fsh)  
🗑
promotes production of gonadal hormones   luteinizing hormone (lh)  
🗑
what is the end product of gonadotropin releasing hormone   estrogen and testosterone  
🗑
what are the functions of gonadotropins in females   1. maturation of ovarian follicle 2. trigger ovulation 3. estrogen and progesterone  
🗑
what are the functions of gonadotropins in males   lh stimulates interstital cells of testes to make testosterone  
🗑
prolactin   breast milk blood levels rise toward end of pregnancy secreted by lactotro  
🗑
prolactin is primarily controlled by   prolactin inhibiting hormone (dopamine) to prevent it from being used  
🗑
what does the posterior pituitary store   antidiuertic hormone (adh) oxytocin  
🗑
antidiuertic hormone (adh) and oxytocin are synthesized in   the hypothalamus  
🗑
what influences water balance?   adh  
🗑
what stimulated smooth muscle contraction in breasts and uterus   oxytocin  
🗑
what are some functions of oxytocin   uterine contraction positive feedback mechanisim to oxytocin in blood this leads to increased intensity of uterine contractions, ending birth triggers milk ejection plays role in sexual arousal  
🗑
decrease production of urine   antidiuretic hormone  
🗑
when blood is too concentrated, adh is ______   released  
🗑
when blood has to much water, adh is _____   inhibited  
🗑
ADH deficiency   diabetes insipidus; huge output of urine and intense thirst  
🗑
adh hypersecretion   syndrom of inappropiae adh secretion after neurosurgery, trauma, etc  
🗑
the largest endocrine gland is   thyroid  
🗑
he largest gland is   liver  
🗑
largest organ is   skin  
🗑
