Exam 1 Chapter 17 Endocrine System

front 1

Compare and Contrast the Endocrine System and the Nervous System

back 1

Endocrine =chemical, hormones, long or short distances, fast or slow response time, internal target

Nervous = Chemical/electrical, neurotransmitters, short distances, fast response time, internal and external targets

Both work together to maintain homostasis

front 2

What are autocrine signals and paracrine signals

back 2

autocrine= takes place within the same cell

Paracrine= induce response in neighboring cell

front 3

Describe hormones

back 3

The only cells with receptors specific to a given hormone will respond to that hormone.

*help regulate growth, reproduction, metabolism, sleep, fluid balance

If it doesn't fit the receptor, NO RESPONSE

front 4

Which hormones are charged? Anions?

back 4

Those from Amino Acids= peptides, proteins, amines

*they need a receptor to get through the cell membrane

front 5

Which hormones are lipid soluable?

back 5

Steroids ( no charge) they stick together, don't like water

Estrogen, testosterone, aldosterone, cortisol

* melt right into the cell membrane, don't need a receptor, theirs are on the inside

front 6

Describe the G protein signaling pathway of action for hormones

back 6

1.-Ligand( hormone) binds to receptor ( second messenger)

2.-relay info into the cell ( made of G proteins) responsible for relaying hormonal information to downstream pathways

3.-The ligand ( hormone) binds to receptor, hits the enzyme, elicits response

front 7

What is downregulation?

back 7

excess hormones make the body decrease the # of receptors to lower the response

*they endocytosis, taken into the cell and used somewhere else

ex. Diet high in sugar, overload, insulin binds to receptor, opens door to lower the BS ( wear out receptor) causes t2 diabetes

front 8

What is upregulation?

back 8

Hormones are in small quantity-produce more receptors so even a small amt of hormones will give a response

front 9

Three ways hormones act on target cells

back 9

Permissive=enable one to act on another

ex. some reproductive hormones act on thyroid hormone

Synergist= work together to give amplified response

ex. FSH and estrogen=egg maturation

Antagonist= opposing

ex. Insulin ( lowers blood sugar) /Glucagon ( increase Blood sugar)

front 10

Describe regulation of hormone release?

back 10

Negative and positive feedback loops

Negative= stimulus, response, back to normal

Positive= snowball effect. Stimulus enhanced by response

front 11

Give an example of negative feedback loop

back 11

Blood sugar increases

insulin released

lowers blood sugar

front 12

Give an example of positive feedback loop

back 12

ex. hypertension

pressure in arteries

pressure on kidneys

kidney start to fail

more pressure

increased fluid =kidney failure

front 13

How do endocrine glands know what they are suppose to do? 3 ways

back 13

Humoral

Neural

Hormonal

front 14

What is a humoral change

back 14

changes in blood levels of non-hormone chemicals

ex. Increase sodium levels, pee more, drink more, response is because of a change

front 15

What is a neural change?

back 15

hormones are released in response to a neural stimuli

ex. adrenal gland = fight or flight

front 16

What is a hormonal change?

back 16

endocrine glands secrete hormones in response to another hormone

ex. pituitary gland

front 17

What is the master gland and what controls the master gland?

back 17

Pituitary gland is master gland controlled by the Hypothalamus

front 18

What is the function of the hypothalamus

back 18

feeding, fleeing, fighting, reproduction

front 19

Name the hormones that come from the anterior pituitary

back 19

GH- growth hormone

PRL- prolactin, milk production

TSH- thyroid stimulating

ACTH= from adrenal cortex, corticosteroid hormones

LH-Leutenizing ( like hairy apes) in males, females stimulates follicle maturity and triggers ovulation

FSH- sperm in males,

front 20

What is stored in the posterior pituitary

back 20

ADH=antidiuretic hormone ( retain fluid), detects osmolality ( level of salt and solute)

Oxytocin= tend and befriend, milk letdown, uterine contractions

front 21

Give an example of ADH in action

back 21

Eat salty Chinese food

Blood osmolality increases because of sodium

Body tries to retain fluid to dilute the sodium

Acts on kidney tubules to retain the excess water making you thirsty

front 22

If you drink alcohol why do you get dehydrated?

back 22

Increase in sugar

Increase in urine output

Alcohol inhibits antidiuretic so you loose fluids and feel awful

front 23

What is a vasopressin?

back 23

it regulates BP by negative feedback

Increase in blood osmolarity

response is to release ADH ( ADH is a vasopressin)

Causes=retention of fluid to balance it

front 24

what is a tropic hormone?

back 24

Targets other hormones

FSH=gonads

ACTH=adrenal glands

LH=gonads

TSH=thyroid

front 25

back 27

Gigantism= excessive GH in children

Acromegaly= in adults, large hands, feet, face

Pituitary dwarfism= low GH

front 28

What is the TSH

back 28

thyroid stimulating hormone called thyrotropin( t3,t4)

negative feedback ( low t3t4,TSH released or inhibited)

regulates metabolism and calcium homeostasis

front 29

Discuss the thyroid gland

back 29

thyroid hormone made in colloid cells

needs iodine to facilitate TSH ( it binds to the AA to produce t3, t4)

metabolism, protein synthesis and reproductive hormones, can cause sensitivity to E, NE

front 30

What disorder is the cause of a Goiter?

back 30

thyroid disorder

not enough iodine, hormone accumulates in the colloid cells

front 31

elevated thyroid hormone

can be from tumor?

increased metabolism, anxiety, trembling

*graves disease

front 33

What is the role of calcitonin in they thyroid hormone?

back 33

decreases osteoclast activity

ex. too much blood calcium, calcitonin helps inhibit osteoclast to keep more calcium from going into the blood

front 34

How is thyroxine released?

back 34

TSH bind to receptors (needs iodine to do so) transporting to follicular cells

Iodine binds to the AA in thryroglobulin to produce t3,t4

TSH stimulates the release of t3,t4 into the bloodstream

front 35

give and example of negative feedback for thyroid hormone

back 35

Low T3T4 stimulate thyrotropin- cause release of TSH which release TsT4 into the bloodstream

High levels of T3T4 decrease the production and secretion of TSH

back 38

Parathyroid hormone regulates calcium uptake

It increases blood calcium by stimulating osteoclasts

*causes reabsorption increase of calcium in the kidney tubules

*activates vitamin D which helps in digestion and calcium absorption

front 39

What is hyperparathyroidism

back 39

Over production of PTH

Bones break, calcium deposits

front 40

Hyperparathyroidism?
