Q

More receptors available on a receptor cell means what

A

Hyper reaction, intent reaction

31
Q

Are effects of hormones the exact same day to day or can they differ?

A

They can differ

32
Q

Pituitary gland

A

Found in brain, projection off of hypothalamus

33
Q

Within the pituitary ( hypothalamus $

A

Nervous system has direct control over endocrine system

34
Q

Hypothalamus to pituitary gland interaction is called

A

Hypothalamic pituitary axis (HPA)

35
Q

Pituitary gland is made of 2 parts

A

Anterior pituitary (adenohypothisis) - actual gland

Posterior pituitary ( neurohypothisis)- made of neurons

2 separate structures

36
Q

How does hypothalamus communicate with pituitary

A

Posterior- impulses( action potential) originate in hypothalamus— travel down axon to posterior- triggers hormones to hormone be released — neurons travel— neurological

37
Q

Hypothalamic pituitary tract

A

Group of axon (neuron)- begin in hypothalamus and end in posterior pituitary

38
Q

How does hypothalamus communicate Anterior pituitary

A

Secretes hormone to blood stream, to anterior pituitary and cells are stimulated

39
Q

Anterior and posterior communication

A

Requires vascular connections

40
Q

Infundibulum

A

Where hypothalamus and pituitary connect— connection structure

Tracts travel through

41
Q

Hypothalamic pituitary portal system

A

Vascular connection between anterior and posterior pituitary

42
Q

What is a Portal system ( standard circulatory system)

A

Specialized vascular system

Standard ;Heart into arteries into capillaries into veins back to heart

Portal; heart to arteries to capillaries to veins to capillaries to second vein then back to heart— blood vessel that begins in capillaries and ends in capillaries

43
Q

Capillaries start in and end in

A

Arteries , veins

44
Q

Portal system is an open or closed system?

A

Closed- blood within portal system doesn’t circulate into body- direct vascular communication between hypothalamus to anterior pituitary. Target cells go direct

45
Q

Hypothalamus acts like what with the anterior pituitary

A

Endocrine gland

46
Q

Hypothalamus produces hormones true or false

A

True- they control anterior pituitary, that also produces hormones

47
Q

Tropic hormones- produced by hypothalamus

A

Stimulate or inhibit hormone secretion

48
Q

Tropic hormone- Releasing hormones

A

Those that stimulate

49
Q

Tropic hormone- inhibiting hormone

A

Those that slow secretion

50
Q

At least ______tropic hormones are made by hypothalamus

A

9- these controlTSH, FH, LH, FSH, ACTH, and prolactin

51
Q

Anterior is made up of ___types of cells

A

5

52
Q

Cells within anterior pituitary

A

Trophic cells

53
Q

5 groups of trophs

A

1 somatotroph- growth hormone- bones,muscles

  1. Lactotroph - PRL- mammory
  2. Corticotrophs - ACTH- adrenal cortex
  3. Thyrotroph- TSH- thyroid
  4. Gonadotroph- gonads- FSH, LH
54
Q

Growth hormone

A

Primary job is to grow Lean tissue

Effects: stimulates epiphyseal plates in bones

Causes muscles to enlarge

Tiggers growth factors— thee trigger the growth plates

55
Q

Prolactin

A

Job is to travel to mammory glands, causing them to produce milk

56
Q

ACTH

A

Works on adrenal cortex( outer layers)release cortisol and aldosterone (steroids)— releases from anterior pituitary- glands on top kidneys- controls levels of steroids

57
Q

TSH

A

Stimulates thyroid gland, releasing thyroid hormone-t3 and t4 ( numbers indicate iodine molecules)

58
Q

FSH, LH

A

Gonads

Work on testes and ovaries. FSH targets follicles in ovary- triggers maturation steps

LH triggers- releasing process (ovulation)

59
Q

LH and FSH in male

A

FSH- testes- works on cells ( sertoli)— spermatogenisis- producing sperm ( reproductive cell)

LH- leydig cell- testosterone synthesis- this gives bigger stature, deep voice etc

60
Q

All trophs

A

Do not release hormones unless signaled by hypothalamus

61
Q

Anterior pituitary _____ do anything unless hypothalamus tells it to

A

Doesn’t

62
Q

Hypothalamus hav_____ that produce and release hormones much like NT are released

A

Neurons

63
Q

Releasing and inhibiting ____ the anterior pituitary

A

Control

64
Q

How growth hormone release

A

In hypothalamus releases growth hormone releasing hormone—- goes to to anterior pituitary— somatotroph releases growth hormone- triggering growth of bone (spurt) —- after spurt hypothalamus releases growth hormone inhibiting hormone (shuts off anterior pituitary)

65
Q

Prolactin

A

Hypothalamus received signal of pregnancy and releases prolactin releasing hormone- activates mammory glands (milk production)

Turned off/on- hypothalamus releases prolactin inhibiting hormone, shuts off production in anterior pituitary

66
Q

Gonadotroph

A

Hypothalamus- produce- gonadotroph releasing— LH and FSH-

67
Q

TRH- hypothalamus releases

A

Anterior pituitary releases TSH- thyroid gland—- releases TSH

68
Q

Adrenal gland

A

Hypothalamus—- CRH —- anterior pituitary— releases ACTH- finds adrenal cortex- release of corticosteroids

69
Q

Control secretion

A

Control effects- target cells control receptor available

70
Q

Posterior pituitary produces hormones

A
  1. ADH- anti diuretic
  2. Oxytocin- pregnancy

Produced and released in anterior pituitary

71
Q

Tracts

A

Begin in thalamus, end in posterior pituitary

72
Q

How do you shut off anterior pituitary

A

Neuronal impulse

73
Q

ADH

A

Anti diuretic hormone- anti water loss-

Kidneys and skin- tells kidneys to produce less urine, retaining water

Skin- sweat glands — decreases sweat gland activity

Also targets blood vessels- water loss in blood, blood volume drops- leads to decrease in BP— vessels constrict — increasing BP

74
Q

Oxytocin - works through positive feedback

A

1 uterus
2 mammory glands

Looking for smooth muscle contraction (positive feedback)

Mammory cells produce milk - smooth muscle wraps around - when oxytocin finds smooth muscle is will cause construction - squeeze gland- forces milk out(milk let down reflex)
