Q

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone

A

Hypothalamic/Pituitary
Hormone. Stimulates development of ovarian follicles and secretion of
estrogens

17
Q

Luteinizing Hormone

A

Hypothalamic/Pituitary
Hormone. Stimulates Leydig cell development and testosterone
production. Stimulates corpora lutea development and
production of progesterone

18
Q

Growth Hormone

A

Hypothalamic/Pituitary
Hormone. Mediates somatic cell growth

19
Q

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

A

Hypothalamic/Pituitary
Hormone. The primary stimulus for thyroid hormone production by the
thyroid gland

20
Q

Endocrine

A

cells secrete hormones that interact with hormone receptors. Endocrine glands are glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood. cell fuses to synaptic membrane, fuses, released into bloodstream to goes to target cells

21
Q

Exocrine:

A

cells secrete hormones via a duct or tube into the internal or external environment. hormone gets put into a vesicle then fuses to membrane then gets released into lumen instead

22
Q

ECTOCRINE:

A

substances released outside the individual and affect another animal. For example: pheromones and chemosignals

23
Q

PARACRINE:

A

cells secrete products that affect other cells

24
Q

INTRACRINE:

A

chemical mediation of intracellular events

25
Q

Endocrinology

A

the study of endocrine glands and their associated hormones.

26
Q

Rosalyn Sussman Yalow

A

Winner of the 1977 Nobel
Prize in Physiology or
Medicine for her role in
developing radioimmunoassays. uses radioactive labels to measure hormones quantitatively

27
Q

ELISA’s

A

~340 well plate. On surface of well plate there is antibody coating bottom of well. Antigone added to cover well and then an antibody on top pipetted. This antibody binds to antibody, specific to progesterone. Creates luminescence that is quantified to tell us how much progesterone is present in the antigen.

28
Q

neural transmission

A

chemical, rapid onset, synaptic cleft, more voluntary control, 20-30 nM

29
Q

hormonal transmission

A

chemical, slower with longer term effects, blood stream or extracellular space, less voluntary control, 1 nM - 2 nM

30
Q

why is the hypothalamus so important to endocrine system?

A

regulates hormone levels

31
Q

symptoms of hypothyroidism

A
32
Q

symptoms of hyperthyroidism

A
