Human anatomy II Endocrine system Study guide

        Help!  

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
🗑
what types of signals regulate the secretion of hormones   show
🗑
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
🗑
which type of hormones (water soluble vs lipid soluble) bind to which types of receptors.   show
🗑
show small lipid-soluble hormones diffuse through the plasma membrane and combine with intracellular receptors of intracellular receptors. The combination of hormones and intracellular receptors produces a response.  
🗑
the different types of hormone receptors (By site, figure ID)   show
🗑
what things an activated G protein can do   show
🗑
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  
🗑
the hormones and structure of the posterior pituitary   show
🗑
what hormones are produced by the anterior pituitary   show
🗑
what the hypothalamus regulates   show
🗑
show T3 (triioxothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine)  
🗑
The properties of thyroid hormones   show
🗑
the properties of calcitonin and what it does   show
🗑
the location of the parathyroid glands   show
🗑
the properties of Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) and what it does   show
🗑
show formed from neural crest; sympathetic. Secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine located in the center of the adrenal gland  
🗑
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
🗑
show Aldosterone produced in greatest amounts.  
🗑
show Increases fat and protein breakdown, increases glucose synthesis, decreases inflammatory response  
🗑
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  
🗑
where Testosterone and Estrogen are produced   show
🗑
which hormones are produced by the ovaries   show
🗑
the function of the pineal body   show
🗑
show produces T-Cells (T-lymphocytes) which are critical cells of the adaptive immune system  
🗑
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
🗑
the general term for the mechanism of action of hormones   show
🗑
examples of lipid-soluble hormones   show
🗑
water-soluble hormones bind with   show
🗑


   

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.
