Block 6 Formative Flashcards
ADH
Anti-diuretic hormone. Synthesised in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland. It regulates water reabsorption in the DCT and collecting duct via aquaporin channels.
B2 receptors
Found in smooth muscle of bronchioles and arterioles to trigger vasodilation.
Stimulates conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II
Renin- secreted by juxtaglomerular cells in the kidney. Increased release with haemhorrage due to blood loss and dehydration due to low Na+.
Alpha adrenergic receptors
Found in the smooth muscles, sphlanchnic vessels. Adrenaline and noradrenaline induces vasoconstriction.
Isoprenaline
Non selective B-adrenergic receptor which causes vasodilation.
Memory store of a few minutes to a lifetime
Long term memory
Safe behaviour
To avoid a consequence but maintains anxiety.
Induces vasodilation in b-adrenergic receptors and vasoconstriction in a-adrenergic receptors
Adrenaline
Removes reinforcer to reduce frequency of behaviour
Extinction
Which hormone does cortisol control secretion of?
Corticotroponin hormone
Endorphin
Endogenous opioid polypeptide which inhibits substance P release
parent-child attachment in which the child shows little exploratory behavior when the parent is present, great distress when the parent leaves the room, and ambivalence upon the parent’s return
Insecure resistant attachment
What does the posterior pituitary gland release in response to stress?
ADH
What does the anterior pituitary gland release in response to stress?
ACTH
Condition with extremely unstable mood, identity and impulse control
Borderline personality disorder
