18
Q

example of non trophic

A

nerual hormes produe ni hypothalus travel to te to posterio pituatry though axons to release a chemical into blodd

19
Q

examples o ftropic hormoens

A

nueroal hormes secrete into capillarei travell to antiero pituary

20
Q

type of neruon in posterior pituatry

A

magnocelluar neurons

21
Q

role of magnocelluar hromes

A

release Peptie neuro hormones - vasopressing - anti diurectic hrome adh
oxytocin - stimalres uterine corntioact (during labour) and adis in exression of milk in locating brest

22
Q

role of oxytoicn and vasopressin in postieor prituatry

A

act like peptide hormes to pacakage and store the visible allowing its release

23
Q

how are postioer pituar hroemes transprt from hypotha

A

as veiscels so the poster ptiaury can erasle them into the blood after being stored

24
Q

what are the main 5 hypothalmic relases hormones

A

trh
crh - corticotropin releaseing hormone
ghrh
gnrh - gonadotropin relaasing hromone
prolactin releasing horomone

25
what are the hypothalic inhibiting hormone
growth hormone inhibing horome dopamine / prolactin inhibing hormone
26
what are the type of horme are they
pepties , ext dopamine whihc is catecholamines
27
what can thryoid regulaing hormoen stimular
tsh and prolacing
28
what does ghih stop
g rotwh hrome reles
29
what does dopamine stop
porlactain
30
what is teh hypothalmo hypophyseal portal system
system of tiny vessels whihc tranfer tropic hormones from hypothalamus to antiero pituatary
31
what are the anteior pituatary hormones
tsh acth fsh - follicle stimulating hormone lh - luteising hormone gh prolactin
32
what type of action is prolactin
it is direct acting thus not trophic
33
what is long loop vs short loop feed back
long loop fromt eh endocrine target short loop from anttieor pituaty hypothalamus
34
primary disoerds
from cell that secrete hormone
35
secondar disorder
where there is too little or too much tropic hormone from pituatry
36
3rd order
due to hypothalmic defects
37
hyperresponsiveness cause
alternation in recptoer for hormone, disorderd post recpeotr failure, failure of metaboi activation of hormone
38
hyperresponsivness
thyrodi hormone adrenaline mediated liposisly
39
what happens after prologed exposure to low hormone levels
up regulation of receptor number
40
what happens with prolonged high exposrue to hormone
down regulatio f receuprot number due to decreasecd senstity of tissue to hormone
41
what is permissive effect of hormoens
when one hormone enhances the effect of another hormone when used in combination , ie when epineer only cause slight lipois but when used wit thryoid hores it is much greater
42
why does th cause increaed lymp;o for epinerh
due to it being periem to it th does not cause fatty acid release
43
antagonsit effect
where one drug stops another drug from working as well
