Q

T or F - the reason its called homeostasis is b/c it keeps the body static (stasis)

A
  1. diabetes - unable to balance blood sugar
  2. thyroid disorder - related w/ growth and development
  3. ovarian disorders - infertility
18
Q

Describe the 3 types of basic endocrine dys-fxns

A
  1. hyper-fxn = releasing too much hormones
  2. hypo-fxn = releasing too little hormones
  3. resistance = lack of sensitivity towards hormones
19
Q

Describe the endocrine gland

A

a tissue that secretes hormones into the bloodstream in order to influence a target cell

20
Q

ANS the following wrt insulin.
a) what produces it?
b) What is its fxn?

A

a) beta cells of the pancreas
b) promotes the absorption of glucose from the BV to tissue

21
Q

What hormone does the pancreas secrete?

22
Q

What are the 5 types of model systems which result from the pancreas malfxning? (diabetes)

A
  1. intact control
  2. alloxan-induced diabetes
  3. Steptozotocin-induced diabetes
  4. Immune-dependent diabetes
  5. Streptozotocin-nicotinaminde-induced diabetes
23
Q

What are the 4 types of hormones and where are they derived from? Which one is the most common?

A
  1. proteins/polypeptides (most) - AA
  2. steroids - cholesterol
  3. amines - catecholamines (NXT)
  4. amines - thyroid
24
Q

Describe the three ways that hormones go from the secretory cell to the target cells. Draw each.

A
  1. autocrine - cell that secretes the hormone also received the hormone
  2. Paracrine - one cell secretes the hormone while and adjacent target cell receives that hormone
  3. Endocrine - the secretory cell releases the hormone into the blood stream which travels towards the target cell
25
Describe the mode of secretion for peptides following the image
26
Describe the mode of secretion for Steroids following the image
27
Describe the mode of secretion for Catecholamines following the image
28
Describe the mode of secretion for Thyroid amines following the image
29
In the endocrine sys hormones are released by secreting cells, sent through the blood vessels until it reaches its target cell. How does the hormone know when it has reached its target cell?
When it reaches a target cell that contains receptors that it can bind to
30
T or F - while receptors have a high specificity for particular hormones non-specific binding can occur
T
31
When it says "There is a continuous turn-over of the receptor-hormone complex" What does this mean? Also what is the purpose of this?
a) it means that the receptors and the hormones are continuously recycled b) this allows for the continuous signaling to these target cells even after a hormone has bound to a receptor
32
a) Where are most hormone receptors found? b) Where are steroid hormone receptors found? c) Where are the thyroid hormone receptors found?
a) the membrane of the target cell b) in the cytoplasm of the target cell c) in the nucleus of the target cell
33
Briefly describe the 2 pathways involved in transmembrane receptor binding of hormones
1. Adenylate cyclase (AC) pathway = hormone binds to beta-adrenergic receptors resulting in enzymic activation 2. phospholipase C-Ca2+ pathway = hormone binds to alpha-adrenergic receptors resulting in enzymic activation
34
What are the 6 steps in the adenylate cyclase pathways? Use the following terms; G-proteins, adenylate cyclase, A-subunit, cAMP, regulatory subunit, protein kinase
1. hormone binds to receptor causing the G-proteins to dissociate 2. The A-subunit activates adenylate cyclase 3. the AC uses ATP to produce cAMP 4. cAMP activates the protein kinase by removing it from the regulatory subunit 5. the PK phosphorylates/activates other proteins 6. Hormone response
35
This image demonstrates which of the following? a) AC pathway b) PIPLC pathway c) steroid hormone binding d) thyroid hormone binding
a
36
What are the 6 steps in the phospholipase C-Ca2+ pathways? Use the following terms; G-proteins, Phospholipase C (PLC), IP3, endoplasmic reticulum, Ca2+, cytoplasm
1. hormone binds to the receptor + the G-proteins disassociate 2. the g-proteins activate the PLC 3. The PLC breaks down the phospholipid mem in order to produce IP3 4. the IP3 binds to the endoplasmic reticulum causing the Ca2+ stored w/in to be released into the cytoplasm 5. the released Ca2+ activates other proteins w/in the cell 6. Hormone response
37
This image demonstrates which of the following? a) AC pathway b) PIPLC pathway c) steroid hormone binding d) thyroid hormone binding
b
38
What are the 6 steps for receptor binding inside the cell for steroids? include the following terms; plasma carrier protein, cytoplasm receptor, nucleus, DNA, transcription factor
1. steroid hormone is transported to the target cell via a plasma carrier protein 2. the steroid is released by the transporter, enters the cell via simple diffusion, + binds to the cytoplasm receptor w/in the target cell 3. the steroid-receptor complex translocate to the nucleus and binds to DNA as a transcription factor 4. stimulation of gene transcription 5. a protein is produced 6. response is induced
39
This image demonstrates which of the following? a) AC pathway b) PIPLC pathway c) steroid hormone binding d) thyroid hormone binding
c
40
This image demonstrates which of the following? a) AC pathway b) PIPLC pathway c) steroid hormone binding d) thyroid hormone binding
d
41
What are the 7 steps for receptor binding inside the cell for THs? include the following terms; thyroxine (T4), carrier protein, TBG, triiodothyronine T3, binding protein, mRNA, DNA, nucleus
1. the TBG carrier protein transports T4/T3 to the target cell where it releases the hormone so it can simply diffuse through the cell mem 2. All T4s --> T3s 3. T3 binds to the binding protein and is translocated into the nucleus 4. the hormone-receptor complex binds to DNA 5. a new mRNA is transcribed 6. a protein is produced 7. response
