Apologia Human Body
Module 10
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| neurosecretory cells | neurons of the hypothalamus that secrete neurohormone rather than neurotransmitter |
| prostaglandins | biologically active lipids which produce many effects in the body, including smooth muscle contractions, inflammation, and pain |
| The ___________ system responds much more quickly than the __________________ system | nervous, endocrine |
| The influence of the ____________________ system lasts longer than that of the ________________ system. | endocrine, nervous |
| The nervous system controls ______________and ____________, while the endocrine system controls virtually every ___________ in the body. | muscles, glands, cell |
| The nervous system is more _____________________ to repair than the endocrine system. | difficult |
| Hormones must be carried in the blood. If a hormone can't dissolve in water, it will need a __________________________in order to be transported by the blood, which is mostly water. | carrier protein |
| Hormones are eliminated by the _________________ in the urine and the ____________________ in the feces. | kidneys, liver |
| Amines, steroids, peptide/proteins | three types of hormones |
| ___________________ stimulate membrane-bound receptors only because they are too big to get into the cell. | peptide/proteins |
| _____________ stimulate intracellular receptors only, because the are fat-soluble and can diffuse right through the cell membrane. | steroids |
| ______________ stimulate both membrane-bound receptors and intracellular receptors, depending on the particular hormone. | amines |
| In _______________________________, the nervous sytem innervates the gland with neurons. Those neurons secrete neurotransmitter to stimulate the gland to secrete the hormone, or the neurons secrete the hormone directly as a neurohormone. | direct neural control |
| In _________________, one gland releases a hormone which will stimulate another gland to release a different hormone. | hormone control |
| The level of a particular hormone in the body varies markedly, but can be predicted based on the day that it is measured. Which pattern of secretion is this? | cyclic |
| When a hormone interacts with a receptor, stimulating the cell to synthesize and secrete a new protein, the receptor is _________________________. | intracellular |
