Dr. Cutler SU-Endocrine 1

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

pancreas   produces enzymes that are ducted into the small intestine (exocrine gland)  
🗑
these are on the cells of the pancreas that produce a pancreatic hormone   islets is Langerhans (endocrine)  
🗑
the pancreas maintains homeostasis of this   blood glucose (endocrine)  
🗑
long term hyperglycemia is responsible for most of the complications in   diabetes mellitus (type II)  
🗑
pancreas has TWO types of cells in each islet   alpha and beta  
🗑
alpha cells   glucagon-when sugar is needed in the blood  
🗑
beta cells   insulin-when sugar is too high in the blood  
🗑
delta cells   secrete somatostatin-growth hormone  
🗑
alpha cells are on the   outside  
🗑
beta cells are on the   inside-cell core  
🗑
normal blood sugar   90mg/100ml  
🗑
another word for a hormone can be   ligands  
🗑
intercellular communication: direct   2 cells function as one unit  
🗑
intercellular communication: paracrine   cells in the same tissue talking: most common  
🗑
endocrine   messages from far away: target cells  
🗑
synaptic communication   nerve to: nerve, muscle, or gland  
🗑
how do hormones work   alter the target cell: effects can be slow to appear but can last for days,  
🗑
up regulation   super sensitized  
🗑
down regulation   desensitized  
🗑
amino acid derivatives (aad, looks like mad with mike)   tyrosine and tryptophan (mike tyson tripped a fan)  
🗑
peptide hormones   hypothalamus, heart, digestive system (a peppy cheerleader is now hypo, but eats the wrong thing and dies causing her hearts to stop)  
🗑
lipid derivatives   eicosanoids and steroids (the little geico, took steroids which made him fat and gain weight  
🗑
what does a enzyme to   helps and then leaves  
🗑
amino acids are building blocks   protiens  
🗑
tyrosine makes   thyroid hormon made in the thyroid gland, dopamine, and CATecholamines noraepi, and epic,  
🗑
where does mike tyson (tyrosine) keep his cats (catecholamines)   in the adrenal medulla  
🗑
tryptophan makes   melaney and sara (melatonin by the spinal gland and serotonin by the brain and guts)  
🗑
peptide hormones (mostly are secreted by the pituitary gland) (most often the answer is a peptide hormone)   all hormones secreted by the hypothalamus, heart, digestive tract, pancreas, and thymus gland  
🗑
anti-diuretic hormone   ADH  
🗑
oxytocin   type of peptide hormone  
🗑
growth hormone   GH  
🗑
prolactin   PL  
🗑
adrenocorticotropic hormone   ACTH  
🗑
thyroid stimulating hormone   TSH  
🗑
luteinizing hormone   LH  
🗑
follicle stimulating hormone   FSH  
🗑
Lipid; Eicosaniods( will deny you insurance if)   you have inflammation, allergies, or fevers that cause pain.  
🗑
prostaglandins   sounds like prostate, grows with inflamed pain, aspirin is used but will thin platelets.  
🗑
leukotrienes   this word sounds like white, and three, this medicine is used to tamp down asthma.  
🗑
lipid derivatives steroids (cholesterol) parts:   1. cortex of adrenal glands (salt, sugar, sex-min, glu, gon). 2. kidneys (calcitriol) 3. reproductive organs (gonads) estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.  
🗑
steroid hormones (SH)   lipid soluble, made of cholesterol, protein carriers that enter nucleus, and tell DNA to make a protein (uses direct gene activation), slower, does NOT amplify  
🗑
6 steroid hormones   ADRENAL GLAND(cortex): aldosterone, cortisol, androgens TESTES: testosterone OVARIERS: estrogen and progesterone  
🗑
DGA: direct gene activation of steroid hormones forms what   a hormone receptor complex (HRC) ending product is a protein  
🗑
non steroid hormones (NSH)   water soluble, protein receptors in the plasma membrane, uses the 2nd messenger system, fast acting, DOES causes amplification.  
🗑
1st messenger system of NSH   NSH binds to receptor to form HRC called first messenger, then G protiens cause ADENYLATE CYCLASE to become active,  
🗑
2nd messenger system   cAMP which converts inactive protein kinase to active.  
🗑
protein kinase   adds phosphate from an ATP creating a PHOSPHORYLATED protein  
🗑
what causes the 2nd messenger to stop the reaction   phosphodiesterase: eats up the excess cAMP  
🗑
thyroid gland makes   C cells- Calcitonin (lowers plasma)  
🗑
thyroid gland secretions influence   metabolic rate, protien synthesis and Ca++ balance  
🗑
Largest endocrine gland is the   thyroid gland  
🗑
thyroid gland is make up of   follicles  
🗑
thyroid lobes are connected by   isthmus  
🗑
follicles formed by epithelial cells produce   thyroglobulin  
🗑
T3 + T4 are made from   iodine and tyrosine second messenger hormones  
🗑
T3 + T4 do this in almost every cell   influence metabolic rate  
🗑
calcitonin make   parafollicular C cells  
🗑
this vitamin works with PTH to elevate blood calcium concentrate in the thyroid   vitamin D  
🗑
parathyroid glands make   parathyroid hormone  
🗑
CT   lowers blood calcium using osteoblast  
🗑
PTH   raises blood calcium using osteoclast  
🗑
hypothalamus produces   releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones  
🗑
IH + RH tell what gland what to do   anterior pituitary gland  
🗑
oxytocin and ADH are made and stored where   posterior pituitary gland  
🗑
the hypothalamus oversees the automatic nervous system and stimulates what    
🗑
hypothalamus talks to both what   lobes of the pituitary  
🗑
hypothalamus is a master gland that makes most of the   releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones  
🗑
infundibulum   stalk connecting hypothalamus to the pituitary gland  
🗑
pituitary gland is located   in the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone in the skull  
🗑
anterior lobe   adenohypophysis, granular tissue…etc  
🗑
posterior lobe   neurohypophysis, neurological tissues, stored hormones made in the hypothalamus.  
🗑
releasing hormones (5)   GHRH, somatostatin, TRH, CRH, GRH, VIP  
🗑
nurohormonal control   concentrated, small batches of neurohormones can be manufactured by hypothalamus  
🗑
melanocyte-stimulating hormone   MSH  
🗑
hormone producing cells are   HPC  
🗑
how many major hormones are made in the anterior pituitary   7  
🗑


   

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.
