BSC2086_ Chapter 17

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Two systems—the nervous and endocrine   communicate with neurotransmitters and hormones - Regulate homeostasis  
🗑
Endocrine system   glands, tissues, and cells that secrete hormones  
🗑
Hormones   chemical messengers that are transported by the bloodstream  
🗑
Exocrine glands   Have ducts Extracellular effects  
🗑
Endocrine glands   No ducts Intracellular effects  
🗑
Major Organs of the Endocrine System   Pineal gland Pituitary gland Hypothalamus Thyroid gland Thymus Adrenal gland Pancreas Gonads: Ovary (female) Testis (male) Parathyroid glands  
🗑
Comparison of Nervous and Endocrine Systems   Both serve for internal communication - Nervous: both electrical and chemical - Endocrine: only chemical Speed and persistence of response - Nervous: fast - Endocrine: slow  
🗑
Comparison of Nervous and Endocrine Systems   Adaptation to long-term stimuli - Nervous: quickly - Endocrine: slowly Area of effect - Nervous: targeted and specific (one organ) - Endocrine: general, widespread effects (many organs)  
🗑
Major Chemical Classes of Hormones   Steroid hormones Monoamines Peptide hormones  
🗑
Monoamines   Thyroxine Epinephrine  
🗑
Steroid hormones   Testosterone Estradiol  
🗑
Peptide hormones   Angiotensin II Oxytocin Antidiuretic hormone  
🗑
Hormones stimulate   only those cells that have receptors for them  
🗑
Receptors   On plasma membrane, in the cytoplasm, or in the nucleus  
🗑
Receptors act like switches turning on   metabolic pathways when hormone binds to them  
🗑
Hydrophilic hormones   - Cannot penetrate into target cell - Must stimulate physiology indirectly - Most monoamines and peptides  
🗑
Hydrophobic hormones   - Penetrate plasma membrane and enter nucleus - Act on the genes changing target cell physiology - Estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormone  
🗑
Synergistic effects   Synergism between FSH and testosterone on sperm production  
🗑
Permissive effects   Estrogen prepares uterus for action of progesterone  
🗑
Antagonistic effects   Insulin lowers blood glucose and glucagon raises it  
🗑
Hypothalamic hormones   - Gonadotropin-releasing hormone - Thyrotropin-releasing hormone - Corticotropin-releasing hormone - Prolactin-inhibiting hormone - Growth hormone-releasing hormone - Somatostatin  
🗑
Anterior lobe hormones   - Follicle-stimulating hormone - Luteinizing hormone - Thyroid-stimulating hormone (thyrotropin) - Adrenocorticotropic hormone - Prolactin - Growth hormone  
🗑
Neurohypophysis ( Posterior Pituitary) hormones   Produced in hypothalamus (released by PP) - Oxytocin - Antidiuretic hormone (ADH, vasopressin)  
🗑
Positive Feedback   TRH->TSH->TH->Target organ  
🗑
GH   - induces the liver and other tissue to produce growth stimulants called insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I AND IGF-II) or somatomedins  
🗑
Somatomedins   stimulate target cells in diverse tissue - Mostly IGF-I - IGF-II important in fetal growth  
🗑
Mechanisms of GH-IGF   - Protein synthesis - Lipid metabolism (protein sparring effect) - Carbohydrate metabolism ( glucose sparring effect) - Electrolyte Balance  
🗑
Stress   caused by any situation that upsets homeostasis and threatens one's physical or emotional well-being - Injury, surgery, infection, intense exercise, pain, grief, depression, anger, etc.  
🗑
General adaptation syndrome (GAS)   Three stages: - Alarm reaction (epinephrine and norepinephrine) - Stage of resistance (cortisol) - Stage of exhaustion (can lead to death)  
🗑
Pituitary Disorders   Head trauma affects pituitary gland's ability to secrete ADH - Diabetes insipidus  
🗑
GH Disorders   - Hypersecretion when young: gigantism - Hyposecretion when young: pituitary dwarfism - Hypersecretion as adult: acromegaly  
🗑
Thyroid Disorders   Goiter Myxedema Graves disease  
🗑
Goiter   any pathological enlargement of the thyroid gland  
🗑
Myxedema   Hypothyroidism  
🗑
Graves disease   Hyperthyroidism - may have bulging eyes later  
🗑
Adrenal Disorders   Cushing syndrome Addison's Disease  
🗑
Cushing syndrome   excess cortisol secretion - Hyperglycemia, hypertension, weakness, edema  
🗑
Addison's Disease   insufficient gluco- and mineralocorticoids  
🗑
Diabetes Mellitus   - Disruption of fuel metabolism due to hyposecretion or inaction of insulin - Elevated blood glucose, glucose and ketones in urine  
🗑
Polyuria   increased urine  
🗑
Polydipsia   thirst  
🗑
Polyphagia   hunger  
🗑
Type 1 (IDDM)—5-10%   Treated with insulin  
🗑
Type 2 (NIDDM)—90-95%   - Problem is insulin resistance (target cells do not respond) - Treated with weight-loss program and exercise  
🗑
Pathogenesis   — cells cannot absorb glucose, rely on fat and proteins for energy - Fat catabolism increases free fatty acids and ketones in blood - Ketoacidosis (ketones decr pH)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
