🗑
Generally briefer (milliseconds)   Nervous  
🗑
Far from site of release (target cell)   Endocrine  
🗑
Cells throughout body   Endocrine  
🗑
Seconds, hours, or days   Endocrine  
🗑
Generally longer (seconds to days)   Endocrine  
🗑
Chemical composition, metabolism, energy balance, glandulare secretions, contraction of smooth and cardiac muscle fibers are ALL functions of ____.   hormones  
🗑
What controls growth and development   Hormones  
🗑
What regulates operation of reproductive system?   Hormones  
🗑
What helps establish circadian rhythms?   Hormones  
🗑
Exocrine   outside  
🗑
Endocrine glands   within secretion  
🗑
What are 3 tissues that are not exclusively classified as endocrine glands but contain cells that secrete hormones?   hypothalamus, thymus, pancreas.  
🗑
autocrines   self  
🗑
paracrines   beside or near  
🗑
Down-regulation   if hormones is present in excess, # of target-cell receptors may decrease  
🗑
Up-regulation   hormone is deficient, # of receptors may increase , target cell more sensitive to hormone  
🗑
Lipid-soluble hormone (ex)   steroids, thyroid, and gas  
🗑
Name steroid hormones   aldosterone, cortisol, androgens  
🗑
Location of aldosterone, cortisol, and adrogens   adrenal cortes  
🗑
Name thyroid hormones   T3 triiodothyronine, T4 throxine  
🗑
Another name for thyroid gland   follicular cells  
🗑
Name gas hormone   nitric oxide  
🗑
Where is gas hormone located   endothelial cells lining blood vessels  
🗑
Water-soluble hormones include   amines,peptides and proteins, and eicosanoids  
🗑
Amines includes what hormomes?   epinephrine, norepinephrine, melatonin, histamine, serotonin  
🗑
Location of epinephrine, norepinephrine   adrenal medulla  
🗑
Location of melatonin   pineal gland  
🗑
Location of histamine   mast cells in connective tissues  
🗑
Location of serotonin   platelets in blood  
🗑
List Peptides and proteins hormone   all hpothalmic relasing and inhibiting hormones, onytocine, antidiuretic, prolactin, insulin, glucagon, calcitonin, gastrine, deptin, erythropeitin,  
🗑
Location of peptides and proteins   hypothalamus, posterior pituitary, anterior pitutary, pancreas, throid gland, stomach and small intestine, kidneys, adipose,,  
🗑
What hormone is for eicosanoids   prostaglandins, and leukotrienes  
🗑
Where are prostaglandins, and leukotrienes located   all cells except red blood cells  
🗑
Hormone transport in blood   -make lipid-soluble hormones temporarily water-solube, increasing solubility in blood -retard passage of small hormone molecules through the filtering mechanism in kidneys, thus slowing hormone loss in urine. -provide a ready reserve of hormone  
🗑
What factors determine the responsiveness of a target cell to a hormone?   changing the permeability of the plasma membrane, stimulation transport of a substance into or out of the target cells, altering the are of specific metabolic reactions, causing contraction of smooth muscle or cardiac muscle.  
🗑
permissive effects   increases the number of receptors for the other hormone.  
🗑
synergistic effects   the effect of two hormones acting together is greater or more extensive than the effect of each hormone acting alone.  
🗑
antagonistic effects   one hormone opposes the actions of another hormone  
🗑
What is the action of the receptor-hormone complex?   alter gene expression by turning specific genes of nuclear DNA on or off.  
🗑
What there types of signals control hormone secretion?   nervous, chemical change in blood, other hormones  
🗑
What is the functional importance of the hypophyseal portal veins?   carry blood from the median eminence of the hypothalamus, where hypothalamic releasing and inhibiting hormones are secreted, to anterior pituitary, where these hormones act.  
🗑
What other target gland hormones suppress section of hypothalamic and anterior pituitary hormones by negative feedback?   Thyroid hormones suppress secretion of GSH by throthrophs and of TRH by hypothalami neurosecretory cells, gonadal hor. suppress FSH and LK by gonadotrophs and of GnRH by hypothalamic neurosecretory cells.  
🗑
Hypoglycemia   abnormally low blood glucose concentration, stimulates hypothalamus to secrete GHRH which flow toward the anterior pituitary in the hypophyseal portal veins.  
🗑
Hyperglycemia   abnormally high blood glucose; stimulates hypothalamus to secrete GHIH while inhibiting the secretion of GHRH  
🗑
If a person has a pituitary tumor that secrets a large amount of hGH and the tumor cells are not responsive to regulation by GHRH and GHIH, will hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia be more likely?   hyperglycemia due to excess hGH levels  
🗑
Functionally, how are the hpothalamohpophseal tract and the hypophseal portal veins similar? Structurally, how are they different?   both carry hypothalmic hormones to the pituitary gland.  
🗑
If you drank a liter of water, what effect would this have on osmotic pressure of your blood, and how would the level of ADH change in your blood?   decrease the osmotic pressure of your blood plasma turning off secretion of ADH and decreasing ADH level in blood  
🗑
Human growth hormone (hGH), also known as somatotropin.   Stimulates liver, muscle, cartilage, bone, and other tissues to synthesize and secrete insulin like growth factors (IGFs); IGFs promote growth of body cells, protein synthesis, tissue repair, lipolysis, and elevation of blood glucose concentration.  
🗑
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), also known as thyrotropin   Stimulates synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones by thyroid gland.  
🗑
Which of the following applies to the endocrine system? Select all that apply.   effects are long lasting initial action is measured in hours to days acts on all types of cells  
🗑
Which of the following applies to the nervous system? Select all that apply.   acts on specific muscles and glands effects are brief initial action is measured in milliseconds only releases neurotransmitters  
🗑
