| Autocrine and Paracrine are local chemical messengers and will not be considered part of what ? | The endocrine system |
| The Two main classes of hormones are | Amino acid-based hormones and Steroids |
| Amino acid-based hormones are | Water based and make up the majority of hormones such as Amines, thyroxine,peptides and proteins . |
| Steroids are | Synthesized from cholesterol and are gonadal and adrenocortical hormones |
| The mechanism of hormone action on target cells consist of these 5 steps | 1.Altering PLASMA MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY of membrane potential by opening or closing ion channels. 2. Stimulating SYNTHESIS OF PROTEINS or regulatory molecules 3. ACTIVATING OR DEACTIVATING ENZYME SYSTEMS 4.Induce SECRETORY activity 5.Stimulate MITOSIS |
| What utilizes 2nd messenger systems and cyclic AMP and PIP 2 calcium systems and cannot enter target cells and act on PLASMA MEMBRANE RECEPTORS and is coupled by G-proteins to intracellular messengers ? | Water-Soluble Hormones ( all amino acid-based hormones except thyroid hormone) |
| What acts on intracellular receptors that directly activate genes? | Lipid-Soluble Hormones (steroid and thyroid hormones) |
| cAMP signaling mechanism of the plamsa membrane receptors and second messenger system consist of | 1. Hormone( 1st messenger) binding to receptor 2. And Receptor activating G-proteins 3.The G-Proteins activating ADENYLATE CYCLASE 4. Andenylate cyclase then converts ATP to cAMP (second messenger) 5.Finally, cAMP activates protein kinases |
| cAMP is rapidly degraded by the enzyme | Phosphodiesterase |
| PIP2-calcium mechanism is used by some amino acid-based hormones in some tissues and involves a ______ _______ | G Protein |
| G Protein activates what ? | Phospholipase C enzyme |
| Steroids and thyroid hormone utilizes what method ? | Intracellular receptors and direct gene activation |
| steroids and thyroid hormones diffuses into their target cells and does what ? | 1. Binds with intracellular receptors 2.Then, receptor-hormone complex enters the nucleus 3.Receptor-hormone complex then binds to a specific region of DNA 4.Which prompts DNA transcription to produce mRNA 5.The mRNA then directs protein synthesis |
| Target Cells must have a _______ ________ to which the hormonebinds to | Specific receptor |
| ACTH receptors are only found | on certain cells of the adrenal cortex |
| Thyroxin receptors are found on | nearly all cells of the body |
| What three factors does target cells activation depends on | 1. Blood levels of the hormone 2.relative # of receptors on or in the target cell 3.Affinity of binding between receptor and hormone |
| Hormones influence the number of their recptors by | Up-reglation and down-regulation |
| when target cells form more receptors in response to the hormone is known as | Up-regulation |
| when target cells lose receptors in response to the hormone it is known as | Down-regulation |
| Hormones_____ in the blood either _____ or bound | Circulate, free |
| Steroids and thyroid hormones are | attached to plasma proteins, while others circulate without carriers. |
| The concentration of a circulating hormone reflects | Rate of releases and speed of inactivation and removal from the body. |
| Hormones are removed from the body by | Degrading enzymes such as the Kidneys and Liver |
| Multiple hormones may interact in several ways | Interaction of hormones on targets cells |
| One hormone cannot exert its effects without another hormone being present is known as | Permissiveness |
| More than one hormone produces the same effect on a target cell is know as | Synergism |
| One or more hormones opposes the action of another hormone is known as | Antagonism |
| Blood levels of hormones are | Controlled by negative feedback systems |
| Hormones are synthesized and released in response to | 1. Humoral stimuli 2.Neural Stimuli 3.Hormonal Stimuli |
| Changing of blood levels of ions and nutrients directly stimulates secretion of hormones is known as | Humoral Stimuli |
| Nerve fibers stimulate hormone release and sympathetic nervous system fibers stimulate the adrenal medulla to secrete catecholamines is known as | Neural Stimuli |
| Hormones stimulate other endocrine organs to release their hormones | Hormonal Stimuli |
| The nervous system modifies | the stimulation of endocrine glands and their negative feedback mechanisms |
| The pituitary gland (hypophysis) has two major lobes,what are they called ? | Posterior pituitary lobe and Anterior pituitary lobe |
| Posterior pituitary (lobe) : part of the brain that stores what ? | Stores ADH & Oxytocin Oxytocin-Paraventricular nuclei ADH- Supraoptic neclei Pituicytes (glial-like supporting cells) and nerve fibers |
| Anterior pituitary (lobe) (adenohypophysis) Glandular tissue makes what ? | FSH, ACTH, LH,TSH, PRL & GH FALT = tropic hormones. |
| Posterior lobe | A downgrowth of hypothalamic neural tissue |
| The posterior lobe has a | Neural connection to the hypothalamus |
| Nuclei of the hypothalamus synthesize the neurohormones ______and ________ and Neurohormones are then transported to the posterior pituitary and stored. | oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) |
| Anterior Lobe | Originates as an out-pocketing of the oral mucosa and Carries releasing and inhibiting hormones to the anterior pituitary to regulate hormone secretion |
| What is the only connection between the ant & post pit ? | A vascular connection |
| All are proteins All except GH activate cyclic AMP second-messenger systems at their targets TSH, ACTH, FSH, and LH are all tropic hormones (regulate the secretory action of other endocrine glands) | Anterior Pituitary Hormones |
| Produced by somatotrophs Stimulates most cells, but targets bone and skeletal muscle Promotes protein synthesis and encourages use of fats for fuel Most effects are mediated indirectly by insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) | Growth Hormones |
| What is the action of growth hormone ? | 1.Stimulates liver, skeletal muscle, bone, and cartilage to produce insulin-like growth factors 2.Mobilizes fats, elevates blood glucose by decreasing glucose uptake and encouraging glycogen breakdown (anti-insulin effect of GH |
| Hypersecretion imbalances of growth hormone results in what in what in children and adults ? | In children results in gigantism In adults results in acromegaly |
| Hyposecreation imbalances of growth hormone results in what in children ? | In children results in pituitary dwarfism |
| Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (Thyrotropin) is produced and stimulated by what ? | Produced by thyrotrophs of the anterior pituitary and Stimulates the normal development and secretory activity of the thyroid |
| Regulation of TSH release is stimulated and inhibitated by what ? | Stimulated by thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and is Inhibited by rising blood levels of thyroid hormones that act on the pituitary and hypothalamus ( negative feedback) |
| Adrenocorticotropic Hormone is secreated by and stimulates what ? | Secreted by corticotrophs of the anterior pituitary and Stimulates the adrenal cortex to release corticosteroids |
| Regulation of ACTH release is triggered by what and peaks in AM after rising ? | Triggered by hypothalamic corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in a daily rhythm |
| What factors can alter the release of CRH ? | Internal and external factors such as fever, hypoglycemia, and stressors can alter the release of CRH |
| Gonadotropins are | Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) Secreted by gonadotrophs of the anterior pituitary |
| FSH | stimulates gamete (egg or sperm) production |
| LH | LH promotes production of gonadal hormones Absent from the blood in prepubertal boys and girls |
| Prolactin (PRL) is secreted by and stimulates what ? | Secreted by lactotrophs of the anterior pituitary Stimulates milk production |
| Regulation of PRL release | Primarily controlled by prolactin-inhibiting hormone (PIH) (dopamine) Blood levels rise toward the end of pregnancy Suckling stimulates PRH release and promotes continued milk production |
