Question
Answer
Hormone   show
🗑
Difference between the signal the endocrine system sends to target tissue and the signal the nervous system sends   show
🗑
show Autocrines: chemical signals released by a cell and the substance affects that same cell, Paracrines: chemical signals released into intercellular fluid and affecting nearby cells  
🗑
what type of molecules hormones are made of   show
🗑
show The action of a substance other than a hormone on an endocrine gland, neural control of endocrine gland, control of secretory activity of one endocrine gland by hormone or neurohormone secreted by another endocrine gland  
🗑
properties of hormones: water soluble and lipid soluble   show
🗑
show synthesized and secreted into the bloodstream by the adrenal cortex and the gonads (lipids)  
🗑
what specificity of binding means   show
🗑
show lipid soluble hormones Membrane-bound receptors, water-soluble hormones intracellular receptors  
🗑
how hormones produce an intracellular response   show
🗑
show Membrane-bound receptors, Intracellular receptors  
🗑
show Regulate intracellular enzyme activities, increase Na and water excretion by the kidney, increase the breakdown of glycogen and release of glucose into circulatory system, contract smooth muscle cells, or relax them if NO is used  
🗑
show (cGMP) produced intracellularly in response to hormone attaching to receptor, cGMP combine with and activate specific enzymes in cytoplasm. Cell responds  
🗑
show middle of the head behind the eye  
🗑
show releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones pass through the hypothalamohypophysial portal system to the anterior pituitary  
🗑
show extension of the nervous system via the infundibulum Secretes neurohormones use Osmoreceptors and baroreceptors, Antidiuretic hormone ADH also called vasopressin  
🗑
what hormones are produced by the anterior pituitary   show
🗑
show secretions of anterior pituitary- body temp, hunger, thirst, fatigue, sleep, and circadian cycles  
🗑
the two forms of thyroid hormone (one is converted to the other in tissue)   show
🗑
show transported in blood bound to T4 binding globulin, 33-40% of T4 converted to T3 in cells, bind with intracellular receptor molecules, increase rate of glucose fat and protein metabolism, normal growth of many tissue dependent  
🗑
show Produced by parafollicular cells Secretion triggered by high Ca2+ concentration in blood; acts to decrease Ca2+ concentration Primary target tissue: bone. Decreases osteoclast activity, lengthens life span of osteoblasts.  
🗑
show Parathyroid glands imbedded in thyroid gland. 2 glands on each side  
🗑
the properties of Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) and what it does   show
🗑
what the adrenal medulla is and what hormones are produced   show
🗑
show Epinephrine and norepinephrine increase heart rate and force of contraction; cause blood vessels to constrict in skin, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, and other viscera  
🗑
the hormones produced by the adrenal cortex   show
🗑
the Zona glomerulosa produces   show
🗑
the effects of cortisol on cells   show
🗑
show mineralocorticoids, Zona glomerulosa, Increases rate of sodium reabsorption by kidneys increasing sodium blood levels  
🗑
what hormones and the cells involved in hormone secretion from the pancreas   show
🗑
show Increases uptake of glucose and amino acids by cells  
🗑
show hyperglycemia, age  
🗑
show Target tissue is liver, Causes breakdown of glycogen and fats for energy  
🗑
which hormone levels increase after a meal   show
🗑
show short term: increased eipnephrine, glucagon and inhibits insulin secretion. Prolonged: ACTH and GH release ACTH stimulates increased cortisol secretion  
🗑
show by the testes and ovaries (Gonads)  
🗑
show oestrogen, progesterone  
🗑
show to produce melatonin which inhibits GnRH secretion from hypothalamus, may help regulate sleep cycles by enhancing the tendency to sleep  
🗑
the function of the Thymus   show
🗑
what substance (We mentioned in class at the end of the chapter) can promote inflammation, pain and vasodilation (not hormone, both autocrine and paracrine effects)   show
🗑
show  
🗑
examples of lipid-soluble hormones   show
🗑
show receptors on the surface of target cells,  
🗑


   

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.
