Q

(Where does dopamine come from)

  1. what in the HT?
  2. some dopaminergic neurons in the what that connect via what?
  3. Non lactotroph cells of the AP secrete a small amount of DP that diffuses to the lactotrophs and inhbits prl secretion by a what mechanism?
A
  1. dopaminergic neurons in HT
  2. posterior pituitary; short portal veins
  3. paracrine

Q

(Prolactin: Major effects)

  1. What does it do?
A
  1. mammary gland development, milk production and reproduction

just read these

pay extra atention to GnRH on end of list (need to resources for developing milk and not developing fetus - won’t get preggers while lactating)

Q

(Antidiuretic Hormone aka ADH aka Vasopressin)

  1. ADH is a how many AA peptide?
  2. Within hypothalamic neurons, the hormone is pacakged in secretory vesicles with a carrier protein called what? Both are released up what?
  3. Major effect in on what (regulates what)?
  4. Major role?
A
  1. 9 AA
  2. neurophysin; hormone secretion
  3. kidney (fulid osmolarity)
  4. water conservation

Q

(Antidiuretic Hormone aka ADH aka Vasopressin)

  1. diuretic does what?

(Effects on Vascular systems of ADH)

  1. high conc of ADH cause widespread constriction or opposite of arterioles? leads to what?
A
  1. increases rate of urine formation
  2. constriction; increased arterial pressure (why vasopressin was coined)

Q

(Actions of ADH)

  1. ADH binds to receptors in what of kidny?
  2. promotes what?
  3. In absence of ADH, kidney tubules are what?
  4. big thing it does then?
A
  1. distal or collecting tubules of kidney
  2. reabsorption of water back into circulation
  3. impermeable to urine
  4. increase in water permeability

Q

(Actions of Antidiuretic Hormone)

  1. ADH receptor is coupled to a IP#/Ca2+ messenger system which results in what?
  2. Increae in vascular resistance causes increase in what?
  3. When is ADH released?
A
  1. contraction of vascular smooth muscle (constriction of arterioles and increased peripheral resistance)
  2. blood pressure
  3. when dehydrated (increased osmolarity)

Q

(control of ADH)

  1. main variable which regulates ADH is what?
  2. osmolarity sensed by what?
  3. What stimulate secretion of ADH?
  4. When osmolarity is below a threshold, osmoreceptors are what? What is suppressed?
A
  1. plasma osmolarity
  2. osmoreceptors (HT neurons)
  3. neurons
  4. osmoreceptors are not active - ADH is suppressed

Q

(pathophysiology of ADH)

  1. What is it called when there is a definiency in ADH secretion from posterior pituitary?
  2. occurence in catas and gods?
  3. what is it called wh kidney is unable to respond to ADH? ADH concentrations high or low? typically due to what?
  4. signs (of both)?
A
  1. Diabete insipidus (large amts of dilute urine and body fluid become concentrated)
  2. rare
  3. nephrogenic diabetes insipidus; high (due to simulation by icreased serum osmolarity); renal disease
  4. excessive thirst; PU/PD
