ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
Question | Answer |
---|---|
2 main classes of hormones | Steroid Peptide Hormone |
Peptide Hormones | water-soluble and bind to receptors on the surface of target cells they include a signaling cascade that leads to a rapid, but short-lived, response. |
Steroid Hormones | fat-soluble and can pass through the plasma membrane and bind to receptors inside the cell. They induce changes in cellular gene expression, so their effects are longer lasting |
Positive feedback | the response to a deviation will lead to a larger response to a deviation will lead to a larger response large physical changes <delivery a baby> |
Negative Feedback | a process in which a deviation from normal is detected, a response is made, and the response alleviates need for further action to address the deviation <high blood glucose.. will inhibit insulin> |
Regulatory gland of Endocrine system | Hypothalamus (located in the brain under the thalamus) |
OXYTOCIN | stimulates uterine contractions during labor |
VASOPRESSIN (antidiuretic hormone) | induces water reabsorption in the Kidney. |
Anterior Pituitary releases | Direct Hormone: stimulate a response directly at a target organ Tropic Hormones: induce hormone release by other glands |
FOLLICLE_STIMULATING HORMONE (FSH) | Female, induces the maturation of an ovarian follicles Male, stimulates spermatogenesis |
LUTEINIZING HORMONE (LH) | Female, induces ovulation Male, stimulate testosterone production |
ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE (ACTH) | stimulate the adrenal glands to release hormones |
THYROID_STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) | stimulate the thyroid gland to release thyroid hormones |
PROLACTIN | induces milk production at the mammary glands in females |
ENDORPHINS | inhibit the perception of pain |
GROWTH HORMONE Target: most cell of body : muscle, connective tissue Response: increase growth or healing (tissue regeneration) | Stimulus: normal development decrease GH Hypothalamus release: GHRH Anti-pituitary release GH Mechanism: increase protein synthesis, mitosis |
PINEAL GLAND light-dark cycles | secretes melatonin to regulate sleep cycles |
THYROID & PARATHYROID locate in the Neck | control both metabolism and calcium balance |
PARATHYROID HORMONE | response to low blood calcium induces the breakdown of bone to increase blood calcium levels |
THYROID HORMONES (T3 and T4) thyroid gland, upon stimulation by TSH, will absorb iodine and produce thyroid hormones | regulate metabolic rate releases calcitonin in response to high blood calcium levels and induces the storage of calcium in bone |
HYPOTHYROIDISM | caused insufficient thyroid hormone production, and symptoms include weight gain, fatigue, and cold intolerance. |
HYPERTHYROIDISM | caused by overproduction of thyroid hormones Symptoms: weight loss, hyperactivity, and heat tolerance |
PANCREAS release 2 main hormones | INSULIN GLUCAGON |
INSULIN | response to high blood glucose. induces the storage of glucose in glycogen and stimulates glucose uptake by cells |
GLUCAGON | response to low blood sugar. induces the release of glucose from glycogen stores and gluco-neogenesis. |
TYPE I DIABETES | caused by damaged to the cells that produce Insulin, treated with administration of exogenous insulin |
TYPE II DIABETES | caused by insulin resistance the body still produces insulin, but the cells are unable to respond managed with diet and lifestyle changes. |
ADRENAL GLANDS secrete located just above the kidneys composed of an outer cortex and inner medulla | EPINEPHRINE induce "fight or flight" response |
regulates salt balance | ALDOSTERONE |

1. Water- soluble hormones (all amino acid-based hormones except thyroid hormone) 2. Lipid-soluble hormones (steroid and thyroid hormones) | TWO POSSIBLE HORMONAL ACTION |
one hormone cannot exert its effect w/o another hormone being present Ex: reproductive hormones need thyroid hormone to have effect | PERMISSIVENESS |
more than one hormone produces same effects on target cells, causing amplification Ex: glucagon and epinephrine both cause liver to release glucose | SYNERGISM |
one or more hormones oppose(s) action of another hormone Ex: insulin and glucagon | ANTAGONISM |

If much people like her mean "Auto immune disease" Abnormal antibody: thyrotropin receptor antibodies (TRAb) mimic hormones If thyroid doesn't stop that's why the sign u to stop Thyroid eye disease those disruptive anti bodies cause inflammation | Like her always hot and sweaty: + Her hypothalamus was screaming that she was warm enough, but those antibodies were hijacking the hormone cascade. and she lose weight even eat over time because thyroid no longer regulating her metabolism properly |
