A&P PART 3 Flashcards
Local hormones that don’t circulate are called
Paracrines
Hormones that act on the same cells that secretes them are called
Autocrines
Lipid soluble hormones
(STN)
-Steroid
-Thyroid
-Nitric Oxide
Lipid soluble hormones circulate
Bound to transport proteins
Water-soluble hormones (APPE)
-Amine
-Peptide
-protein
-eicosanoid
Hormones
Water-soluble hormones circulate
Freely in the plasma
Steroid hormones
(SKOT PET ALANCO)
-Suprarenal cortex: aldesterone, androgenic, cortisol
- Kidneys: calcitriol(active form of vitamin D)
- ovaries: progesterone estrogen
- Testis- Testosterone
Thyroid hormones
- T3 and T4
- found in thyroid gland( T thyrocytes)
Gas
Nitric oxide- endothelial lining blood vessels
Prostaglandin & Leukotrienes: endothelial cells lining blood cells, all cells except red blood cells
What are the Amines, and where are they found?
-Epinephrine & Norepinephrine: suprenal medulla
-Melatonin- pineal gland
-Histamine- mast cells in connective tissues
-Seratonin- platelets in blood
Epinephrine and norepinephrine is found in the
Suprarenal medulla
Melatonin is found in the
Pineal gland
Histamine is found in
Mast cells in connective tissues
Serotonin is found in
Platelets in blood
