Question | Answer |
---|---|
Hormone Characteristics | -Produced in small amounts -Secreted directly into bloodstream -Travel through blood to specific receptor sites -Act to increase or decrease normal metabolic process when react with receptor site -Immediately broken down |
Hormone Production | -Pituitary -Ovary -Testes -Adrenal -Thyroid -Parathyroid -Pancreas |
Hormone Actions: 1 | -Reacts w/specific receptor site on cell membrane activation of cAMP leading to change in cell activity analyzes input from periphery and CNS causes fast reaction (insulin) |
Hormone Actions: 2 | -Enters cell,react w/messenger RNA enters nucleus,cause change in cell function, takes time to cause effects (estrogen, testosterone) |
Hypothalamus | -Master gland of neuroendocrine system -Action - Constantly monitor body homeostasis, Input from periphery and CNS, Coordinate responses by ANS, CNS, endocrine system |
Releasing Hormones Produced and Secreted | -GHRH:Growth hormone-releasing hormone -TRH:Thyrotropin releasing hormone -GnRH:Gonadatropic releasing hormone -CRH:Coricotropic releasing hormone -PRH:Prolactin releasing hormone |
Inhibiting Factors Produced | -Somatostatin: growth hormone release inhibiting factor -PIF: Prolactin inhibiting factor |
Other hormones produced | -ADH:Antidiuretic hormone -Oxytocin:Uterine contractions, milk letdown |
Hypothalamus to pituitary network | -Vascular:Carries hypothalamic releasing factors directly to anterior pituitary -Neurological: Delivers ADH and oxytocin to posterior pituitary |
Pituitary Gland Lobes | -Anterior -Posterior -Intermediate |
Pituitary Gland Lobe: Anterior | -Growth Hormone (no target organ) -Adrenocorticotropic hormone-ACTH -Follicle stimulating hormone-FSH -Lutenizing Hormone-LH -Prolactin-PRL no target organ -Thyroid stimulating hormone-TSH |
Pituitary Gland Lobe: Posterior | -Oxytocin -Antidiuretic hormone |
Pituitary Gland Lobe: Intermediate | -Endorphins -Encephalins |
Negative Feedback System | -Hypothalamus senses a need -Secretes releasing factor directly to ant. pituitary -Ant. Pit. secretes hormone -Stimulation of gland -Hypothalamus senses increase -Sends message to AP to stop production |
Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis | 1 Hypothalamus secretes releasing factors 2 AP releases stimulating hormone 3 Hormone acts w/ specific endocrine gland 4 Release hormone/stimulate cell directly 5 Production of releasing factor shut down 6 Decrease stimulating factor & hormone releas |
One of 2 ways a hormone can work in the body to enter the cell and react with... | -Messenger RNA -Can react with messenger RNA to enter nucleus, causing change in cell function -Takes time to cause effects -Estrogen and Testosterone work this way to cause puberty |
What hormone prepares the body for flight or fight? | -ACTH -Activation of SNS causes release of ACTH and adrenocortical hormones |
