Question
Answer
what do you call the system that the endocrine and the nervous system share   neuroendocrine  
🗑
What is the main function of the endocrine system   regulates the body's chemical messengers too maintain homeostasis  
🗑
functions of the endocrine system   water blalnce uterine contractions & milk release growth, meabolism and tissue maturation ion regulation heart rate and blood pressure regulation blood glucose control immune system regulation reproductive function control  
🗑
two types of glands in the endocrine system   exocrine and endocrine  
🗑
describe an exocrine gland and   exocrine glands release there product into ducts, which carry the products into body cavities, the lumen of an organ, or the outer surface of the body  
🗑
describe the endocrine gland   secrete their products into the extracellular space around the secretory cells. the secretions diffuse into capillaries and are carried throughout the body by the circulatory system.  
🗑
Classification by general function   Tropic hormones, Sex hormones, Anabolic hormones  
🗑
Classification by chemical structure   Classification by chemical structure, Nonsteroid hormones  
🗑
Tropic hormones stimulate what function?   target other endocrine glands and stimulate their growth and secretion  
🗑
Sex hormones stimulate what function?   target reproductive tissues  
🗑
Anabolic hormones stimulate what function?   stimulate anabolism in target cells  
🗑
Chemically, hormones are either   Steroid, or steroid-like hormones & Non-steroid hormones  
🗑
Steroid, or steroid-like hormones   Sex hormones Adrenal cortex hormones  
🗑
Non-steroid hormones   Amines Proteins Peptides Glycoproteins  
🗑
Steroid hormones   Synthesized from cholesterol Lipid soluble; easily pass through the phospholipid plasma membrane of target cells Examples: cortisol, aldosterone, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone  
🗑
Hormones that pass into the blood and act on distant target cells are called _________ or ______________.   circulating hormones or endocrines.  
🗑
Hormones that act locally without first entering the bloodstream are called ___________   local hormones  
🗑
Local hormones that act on neighbouring cells are called _____________   paracrines.  
🗑
Local hormones that act on the same cell that secreted them are called __________. Local hormones are usually inactivated very quickly   autocrines.  
🗑
Hormones regulate the ___________ and _________ of the internal environment (extracellular fluid).   chemical composition and volume  
🗑
Hormones help regulate   metabolism and energy balance, & contraction of smooth and cardiac muscle fibers and secretion by glands  
🗑
Hormones help maintain ____________, despite disruptions, such as infection, trauma, emotional stress, dehydration, starvation, hemorrhage, and temperature extremes   homeostasis  
🗑
Hormones are released into the ____________ surrounding endocrine cells   extracellular spaces  
🗑
what is ment by hormone Lock-and-Key Model:   a hormone acts only on cells that have receptors specific to that hormone because the shape of the receptor determines which hormone can react with it…  
🗑
Steroid hormones regulate cells by regulating   production of certain critical proteins  
🗑
The _______ of steroid hormone present determines the _________   amount magnitude  
🗑
Because transcription and protein synthesis take time   responses to steroid hormones are often slow  
🗑
Most hormones have _________ that directly regulate target cells and many __________that influence or modulate other regulatory mechanisms in target cells   primary effects secondary effects  
🗑
Endocrine glands produce more hormone molecules than are needed; the unused hormones are quickly excreted by the ________ or broken down by __________   kidneys metabolic processes  
🗑
The second messenger mechanism: also known as the   fixed membrane receptor model  
🗑
Endocrine glands of the body   Pituitary, Pineal, hypothalamus, pituitary, parathyroid, thyroid, thymus, adrenal, pancreas, heart, gonads, kidneys  
🗑
where is the pituitary gland   Lies at the base of the brain (ventral) in the sella turcica  
🗑
what is the technical name for the pituitary   adenohypophysis and nneurohypophysis  
🗑
what structure connects the pituitary to the brain   infundibulum or pituitary stalk  
🗑
5 hormones and their organs that relate to the adenohypophysis   bone- growth hormone adrenal- ACTH (adrenocorticotropiphic) thyroid -THS thyroid stimulating hormone testees/ovaries -gonadlotrophs FSH&LH (follicle stimulating hormone & Luteinizing hormone) mamary-prolactin  
🗑
2 hormones and their organs that relate to the neurohypophysis   kidney-ADH (antidiuretic hormone) uterine, mammary gland- OT (oxytocin)  
🗑
Pineal gland is responsible for ____ and secretes what product   body's biological clock, melatonin  
🗑
Thyroid gland is located _________ and produces what 3 hormones   just below the larynx, T3, T4, and calcitonin  
🗑
what is the principle action of the thyroid   to increase the rate of metabolism  
🗑
what disorders can be cause by and over/under active thryroid   graves, hashimoto disease, simple goiter  
🗑
what cell in the thyroid secretes the hormone and where is it stored   follicular cell, colloid  
🗑
what is the primary function of calcitonin   to take calcium out of the blood and put it in the bones  
🗑
where are the parathyroid   behind the thyroid, in front of the larynx  
🗑
how many parathyroid are there   4  
🗑
what hormone does the parathyroid secrete and what is its function   PTH (parathyroid hormone), takes calcium from the bone and puts it in the blood.  
🗑
Parathyroid hormone acts as antagonist to calcitonin to maintain   calcium homeostasis  
🗑
where are the adrenal glands   The gland sits like a cap on each kidney  
🗑
what two area secrete hormones in the adrenal gland   the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla  
🗑
how many hormones are secreted by the adrenal gland   many  
🗑
what are the 3 layers of the adrenal cortex   Zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, & zona reticularis  
🗑
3 types of hormones secreted by the adrenal gland   aldosterone, cortisol, and adrenal androgens  
🗑
all cortical hormones are steroids and are known as   corticosteroids  
🗑
each layer of the adrenal is responsible for its own hormone, what layer is matched with what hormone   glomerulosa - mineral corticoids fasciculata - glucocorticoids reticularis - gonadocorticoids Medulla - catecholamines  
🗑
mineralcorticoids   aldosterum (sodium potatsium reguation)
