Q

The effects of sympathetic stimulation are

A

longer lasting and more widespread than the effects of parasympathetic stimulation

1) Sympathetic postganglionic acons diverge more extensively
2) Lack of stuff to get rid of norepinephrine

Q

transport protein

A

they make the lipid soluble hormones temporarily water soluble thus increasing their solubility in blood

They retard passage of small hormone molecules through the filtering mechanism in the kidneys, thus slowing the rate of hormone loss in urine

Q

Lipid soluble

A

diffuse from blood through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane

2) receptors in cytosol/nucleus.

The activated receptor hormone complex alters gene expression, turing specific genes of nuclear DNA on and off causing mRNA to synthesize a new protein on the ribosomes

Q

Water soluble

A

integral transmembrane proteins in plasma membrane
hormone is first messenger
2nd messenger is cAMP

G protein, Adenylate cyclase turns ATP to cAMP in the cytosol, activates kinase, which phosphorylate a lot of shit

Q

Mineralocorticoids

A

regulates homeostasis of sodium ions and potassium ions

1) adjust blood pressure
2) adjust blood volume

help excrete H+ from urine to prevent acidosis

Q

Glucocorticoids

A

protein break down in muscle fibers, liberation of amino acids for synthesis of new protein

turns lactic acid and amino acid to glucose

Q

Control of secretion

A

CRH=>ACTH=>Adrenal cortex=> glucocorticoids

17
Q

ACH/norepinephrine

A

ACh ( sweat gland which is sympathetic) but also all the parasympathetic

Norepinephrine for sympathetic

18
Q

Hypothalamus for

A

1) behavioral patterns
2) circadian rhythms
3) eating/drinking behaviors
4) body temperature
