Question
Answer
endocrine function   communication and control of bodily processes through secretions into the blood - slower communication than nervous, longer lasting effect  
🗑
hormone's various functions   reproductions cycles - cellular metabolism - bodily growth - fluid and electrolyte balance - pH balance - MAINTAIN HOMEOSTASIS  
🗑
two types of glands   exocrine - endocrine  
🗑
releases products into ducts that lead to surface of body and/or into other organs   exocrine  
🗑
hormone release into blood directly -> the blood takes the hormone to the target cell   endocrine  
🗑
the cell affected by hormones   target cell  
🗑
a chemical messenger used to produce cellular function   hormone  
🗑
4 classes of hormones   protein - steroid - prostaglandins - tropic hormones  
🗑
bind to receptors w/in the target cell membrane -> triggers second response inside the cell   protein hormone  
🗑
lipid based - slips through phospholipid bilayer - delivers message to nucleus, telling which gene needs to be transcribed -> leaves cell and becomes muscle   steroid hormone  
🗑
tissue hormone - released from gland into surrounding tissue   prostaglandins  
🗑
special hormone that targets other endocrine glands to release their hormones   tropic hormone  
🗑
the control system of the endocrine system   the hypothalamus  
🗑
the hypothalamus controls the endocrine system through this gland   pituitary gland  
🗑
tropic hormones are found in what gland   pituitary  
🗑
two ways to regulate hormone action   negative and positive feedback  
🗑
opposes a change in the body to return the body to homeostasis   negative feedback  
🗑
amplifies a change in the body to return the body to homeostasis   positive feedback  
🗑
gland that rest under the hypothalamus on the sella turcica - sella turcica is a protective bone for this gland   pituitary  
🗑
the 4 tropic hormones _ANTERIOR PITUITARY   thyroid stim. H - adrenocorticotropic H - follicle stem. H - letenizing H _ANTERIOR PITUITARY  
🗑
stims thyroid gland _ANTERIOR PITUITARY   TSH _ANTERIOR PITUITARY  
🗑
stims. adrenal gland to produce its hormone _ANTERIOR PITUITARY   ACTH _ANTERIOR PITUITARY  
🗑
stimulates ovary -> estrogen production - stims testes -> produces sperm _ANTERIOR PITUITARY   FSH _ANTERIOR PITUITARY  
🗑
ovary -> progesterone, ovulation stims testes -> testosterone production _ANTERIOR PITUITARY   LH _ANTERIOR PITUITARY  
🗑
stims the release of melanin in the skin - disease: albinism -> lack f pigment in the skin, hair, etc ANTERIOR PITUITARY   melanocyte stim H _ANTERIOR PITUITARY  
🗑
increased blood sugar - stims growth -_ANTERIOR PITUITARY   growth hormone _ANTERIOR PITUITARY  
🗑
too much sugar in the blood _ANTERIOR PITUITARY   hyperglycemia _ANTERIOR PITUITARY  
🗑
female only - breast development - lactation _ANTERIOR PITUITARY   prolactin _ANTERIOR PITUITARY  
🗑
