Question
Answer

🗑
show integral membrane protein that receives hormones  
🗑
show 2000-100,000  
🗑
show when a hormone is present in excess the number of target cell receptors may decrease  
🗑
steroids   show
🗑
show synthesized by modifying amino acids; T3 and T4, epinephrine, histamine, serotonin  
🗑
show these hormones consist of chains of 3 to 200 amino acids. Oxytocin, ADH, Insulin, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, CCK and gastrin  
🗑
show carrier proteins  
🗑
master gland   show
🗑
seven hormones of anterior pituitary   show
🗑
show antidiuretic hormone ADH, oxytocin  
🗑
show posterior  
🗑
the hypothalamus transports hormones down the axons of the neurosecretory cells for which pituitary   show
🗑
show anterior  
🗑
show hypothalamic substances which regulate the anterior pituitary; CRH stimulates ACTH; TRH stimulates TSH and a little prolactin; GnRH or LHRH stimulates FSH and LH; GIH or somatostatin inhibits GH  
🗑
Growth Hormone   show
🗑
pituitary adenoma causes   show
🗑
gigantism & acromegaly   show
🗑
show overgrowth of bone, particularly of the skull and mandible; nose thickened and puffy, large ears, large tongue, large hands, increased sweating, fatigue, and weight gain  
🗑
Pituitary Dwarfism   show
🗑
show inadequate rise in serum GH after provocative stimulus such as Arginine infusion, oral levodopa, or clonidine  
🗑
show stimulates the production of milk; promotes breast development in pregnancy  
🗑
show promotes and maintains growth and development of the thyroid gland and stimulates it to secrete thyroxine (T4) and triidothyronine (T3)  
🗑
show stimulates growth and develpment of the follicle to maturity, stims the follicle to secrete estrogens, stimulates testicular growth, enhances production of androgen-binding protein in the Sertoli cells (this increases the conentratino of testosterone near  
🗑
Luteinizing hormone LH   show
🗑
show Promotes and maintains normal growth and development of the adrenal cortex and stims the secretion of the glucocorticoids (cortisol); also affects the secretion of the androgens and the mineralcorticoids (aldosterone). ACTH is a polypeptide that is 39 a  
🗑
osteoblast activity   show
🗑
show stimulates by GH; makes space for bone formation  
🗑
show GH exerts growth-promoting effects indirectly by stimulating somatomedins; somatomedin IGF is an insulin-like growth factor  
🗑
show cell division, enhanced protein sythesis, or bone growth  
🗑
where is IGF-I made   show
🗑
show nutritional status, age, and tissue specific factors  
🗑
show sex hormones among other things  
🗑
show oxytocin and ADH (vasopressin)  
🗑
where are posterior pituitary hormones synthesized   show
🗑
oxytocin functions   show
🗑
milk secretion physiology   show
🗑
uterine contraction physiology   show
🗑
show lack of ADH (often due to damage to the pituitary or the hypothalamus. loss of 75% of ADH secretory neurons is necessary before polyuria is evident)  
🗑
show decrease release of  
🗑
Narcotics effect on ADH   show
🗑
show polyuria, polydipsia, dehydration, fever, dry tongue, delirium  
🗑
where are catecholamine hormones secreted   show
🗑
what does the adrenal cortex secrete in general   show
🗑
chromaffin cells do what   show
🗑
corticosteroid hormones of the adrenal cortex   show
🗑
three zones of adrenal cortex   show
🗑
other name for mineralcorticoids   show
🗑
other name for glucocorticoids   show
🗑
show sex hormones  
🗑
action of mineralcorticoids (aldosterone)   show
🗑
regulation of mineralcorticoids (aldosterone)   show
🗑
action of glucocorticoids (cortisol)   show
🗑
show ACTH from the adenohypophysis of the pituitary gland in response to stress  
🗑
show supplement the sex hormones from the gonads  
🗑
show inadequte secretion of glucocorticoids and mineralcorticoids which results in hypoglycemia, na+ and K+ impalance, dehydration, hypotension, weight loss, and general weakness  
🗑
cushing syndrome   show
🗑
adrenogenital syndrome   show
🗑
show thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), and calcitonin  
🗑
physical structure of thyroid   show
🗑
show spherical sacs called thyroid follicles. Humans have about one million follicles. Each follicle is lined with principal cells which synthesize T3 and T4 and contain a protein-rich fluid called colloid. Between the follicles are perifollicular cells whi  
🗑
show regulate metabolism; increase rate of protein synthesis; increase rate of energy release from carbs; regulate growth; stimulate maturity of nervous system; regulate body temp  
🗑
regulation of T3 and T4   show
🗑
Action of Calcitonin (thyrocalcitonin)   show
🗑
regulation of calcitonin   show
🗑
show insufficient secretion of T4 and T3 in infants and children. Stunted growth, thickened facial features, large protruding tongue, abnormal bone growth, mental retardation, decreased metabolic rate, general lethargy. Treat with T3 and T4  
🗑
show insufficient secretion of T4 and T3 in adults. Weight gain, slow pulse, dry brittle hair, decreased basal metabolic rate, lack of energy, sensation of coldness, diminished perspiration, weakness. treat with T3 and T4  
🗑
show a pathological enlargment of the thyroid gland due to insufficient iodine intake. Take iodine.
