|---|---|
| In Latin, means "acorn" | Glands |
| Types of glands according to their secretions destinations | Endocrine and Exocrine Glands |
| External glands, secrete products to exit the cell or body OR go into the lumen of another organ. | Exocrine Glands |
| Internal glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream to reach target cells. These glands and their hormones help regulate how the body works-its metabolism | Endocrine Glands |
| Chemical messengers that literally " to arouse, to set into motion, or urge on" | Hormones |
| 2 classes of hormones | Non-steroids and Steroids |
| Non-steroid classifications | Amines, Protein, Glycoproteins, Peptides and Prostaglandins |
| Steroid classifications | Sex hormones and Adrenal cortex secretions |
| Derived from the amino acid tyrosine-epinephrine and norepinephrine OR adrenaline or noradrenaline | Amines |
| Composed of long chains of amino acids. PTH-parathyroid, GH-Growth Hormone and PRL-prolactin | Protein |
| Proteins joined to carbohydrates. FSH-Folicle stimulating , LH- Lutenizing and TSH- Thyroid stimulating Hormones, all found in anterior portion of pituitary gland. | Glycoproteins |
| Short chains of amino acids. ADH-Antidiuretic, OT-Oxytocin, TRH-Thyroptin releasing, SS- Somatostantin and GnRH-Gonadotropin releasing | Peptides |
| Fatty acids produced in a wide variety of cells all over the body. | Prostaglandins |
| Amino acid compounds that do NOT dissolve in lipids | Non-Steroidal Hormones |
| Lipid based derived from cholesterol that dissolves in lipids. | Steroids |
| The cells that the hormones will be acting upon. | Target cells |
| Sequence of Non-Steroidal Hormone Using Cyclic AMP Steps 1-3 | 1. Endocrine gland secretes hormone 2. Body fluid carries hormone to its target cell. 3. Hormone combines w/ receptor site on membrane of its target cell, activating G protein (messenger) |
| Sequence of Non-Steroidal Hormone Using Cyclic AMP Steps 4-6 | 4. G protein then activates adenylate cyclase (integral protein) with its active site facing inside the cell. 5. Adenylate cyclase functions to remove the 2 phosphate groups from ATP converting it into cyclic AMP 6. Cyclic AMP activates protein kinases |
| Sequence of Non-Steroidal Hormone Using Cyclic AMP Steps 7-8 | 7. These enzymes collectively change the metabolic processes within the cell. 8. Resulting in the hormone's effects (ie secretion of product) |
| Sequence of Steroid Hormone Action. Steps 1-3 | 1. Endocrine gland secretes steroid hormone to be carried via blood to target cell. 2. Steroid hormone diffuses through the target cell membrane & enters cytoplasm or nucleus 3. Hormone combines w/a receptor site molecule in the cytoplasm or nucleus. |
| Sequence of Steroid Hormone Action. Steps 4-6 | 4. Steroid hormone-receptor complex binds to DNA & promotes transcription of messenger RNA. 5. Messenger RNA enters the cytoplasm & directs protein synthesis. 6. Newly synthesized proteins produce hormone's specific effects. |
| The control source that brings conditions back to normal, effectors gradually reduce until they shut down | Negative Feedback |
| Negative Feedback Steps | 1. Hormonal Stimulus 2. Neutral Stimulus 3. Humoral Stimulus |
| RH (Releasing hormone) from the hypothalamus releases hormones from the anterior portion of the pituitary gland (trophic-"nourishment" hormones) In this case. Nourishment = Stimulation | Hormonal Stimulus |
| Trophic also known as | Stimulate to release |
| Nervous system directly stimulates some glands. Ex: Adrenal Medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine OR adrenaline and noradrenaline | Neutral Stimulus |
| High blood levels of a given hormone (or its predecessors or products) serve to "turn off" or inhibit further section of that hormone. | Humoral Stimulus |
| Means blood | Humoral |

| Functions of the blood 1-5 | 1. Gas transport 2.Nutrient, electrolyte & vitamin transport to cells 3. Waste transport from cells 4. Hormone transport from production site to target 5. Keep body pH balanced |
| Functions of the blood 6-9 | 6. Regulates tissue fluid 7. Heat transportation 8. Carries cells & antibodies to fight infection 9. Carries binding proteins that prevent coagulation |
| 2 divisions of blood | Plasma and formed elements |
| Straw or yellowish color of the fluid portion of the circulating blood | Plasma |
| Blood consists of: | Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma |
| Plasma consists of: | Albumin, Clotting Factors, Antibodies and Compliment |
| Protein responsible for for maintaining the osmotic pressure in the blood, produced in the liver. | Albumin |
| Aids in coagulation and is produced in the liver | Clotting factors |
| Fights infections, produced by certain white blood cells | Antibodies |
| A group of enzymes that aid antibodies in their fight against infection. | Complement |
| Makes up formed elements: | Erythrocytes or Red blood cells; Leukocytes or White blood cells and Platelets |
| Red cells that transport oxygen and carbon dioxide. Lives for 90 days. | Red blood cells or Erythrocytes |
| White cells that protect against infection. | White blood cells or Leukocytes |
| Diseases caused by an overgrowth of white blood cells or leukocytes. | Lupus or leukemia |
| 2 categories of Leukocyctes | Granulocytes and Agranulocytes |
| White blood cells that have a granular cytoplasm | Granulocytes |
| White blood cells that have a nongranular cytoplasm | Agranulocytes |

| Fine cytoplasmic granules, has a lobed nucleus, is lavender colored, first to arrive at the site of an infection. | Neutophils |
| Pink or red colored, has course cytoplasmic granules, moderates allergic reactions and defends against parasitic worm infestations. | Eosinophils |
| Deep blue colored, fewer irregularly shaped cytoplasmic granules, releases histamine, which promotes inflammation and heparin, which inhibits blood clotting, thus increasing blood flow to injured tissues. | Basophils |
| Types of agranulocytes | Monocytes and Lymphocytes |
| Largest blood cells, leaves the bloodstream to become macrophages that phagotizes bacteria, dead cells and other debris in tissues. | Monocytes |
| Slightly larger than erythrocytes, T-cells and B-cells, both important in immunity. | Lymphocytes |
| Directly attacks microorganisms, tumor cells and transported cells | T cells |
| Produces antibodies which are proteins that attack foreign molecules. | B cells |
| Cell fragments that participate in blood clotting, cells do not have nuclei or DNA. | Thrombocytes or platelets |
| Hemostaisis- Blood stoppage may occur by ways 1-2 | 1. Blood vessel spasm-vasospasm-vasoconstriction 2.Platelet plug formation- utilizing platelets & collagen fibers. |
| Hemostaisis- Blood stoppage may occur by ways 3-4 | 3. Extrinsic clotting- blood contacts damaged vessel walls or tissues outside blood vessels. 4. Intrinsic clotting mechanism- when blood comes into contact with something other than smooth epithelial tissue initiating clotting from inside the vessel. |
| Ways to prevent clotting or coagulation: | 1. Smooth lining of blood vessel 2. Postscyclin 3. Fibrin threads 4. Antithrombin in fibers 5. Heparin |
| Prevents clotting by inhibiting platelets from attaching to blood vessel walls | Postacyclin |

| Indicates the type of antigen or marker located on the surface of a Red blood celles | A, B, AB, O |
| Is a universal donor, lack A and B antigens | O |
| Is the universal acceptor | AB |
| Steps 1-4 of the life cycle of a red blood cell | 1. Hemoatopoiesis-formation begins in the epiphysis of bone. 2. Hemocytoblasts stem cells-origin of all formed cells. 3. Myeloid cell formation- gives rise to reticulocytes 4. Reticulocytes unable to synthesize proteins, grow or divide. |
| Steps 5-7 of the life cycle of a red blood cell | 5. Rbc's age, becoming rigid, & begin to fragment & fall apart 6. Damaged or worn out rbc's rupture when passing through liver or spleen. 7. Macrophages phagotizes units, sending bilirubin & heme to liver to recycle as platelets. |
| Step 8 of the life cycle of a red blood cell | 8. Negative feedback is controlled by erythropoietin in response to oxygen levels. If enough cells are destroyed, oxygen levels will drop and the hormone will stimulate hematopoiesis to begin again. |
