chapter 16 Flashcards
What are the effects caused by hormones?
Change in the plasma membrane permeability or electrical state.
stimulation of mitosis
promotion of the secretory activity
What is Steroids?
derived from cholesterol. lipid soluble.
Non- Steroids?
synthesized from amino acid which includes proteins, gylcoprotiens,
Prostaglandins.?
Derived from fatty acid.
what are the two mechanisms in which hormones act
direct gene activation ;
Second messenger system
Steriod Homone Action
Diffuse.
enter the nucles
bind to a specific sites on the cells DNA
activate genes that result in synthesis of new proteins.
range from 45min- days.
Nonsteroid hormone action
from the second messenger
does not make more protein.
effects range from seconds to minutes.
Hormone levels in the blood are mostly maintained by negative feedback
Information
A stimulus or low hormone levels in the blood triggers the release of more hormone
Imformation
Hormone release stops once an appropriate level in the blood is reached.
Information.
Hormonal stimuli 1st
Stimuli by hormones to other hormones
Hormones act on other glandes to stimuli hormones
Humoral stimuli 2nd
changing blood levels ions & nutrients
body fluids such as blood and bile
Neural Stimuli 3
Control of the sympathetic
example: release of norepinephrine.
Pituitary
protected by the sphenoid bone has two functional lobes anterior posterior ** called the master endocrine gland**
what does the anterior pituitary do
glandular tissue
what does the posterior pituitary do
nervous tissue
Andrenorticotropic (ACTH) hormone
information
Two gonadotropic hormones are?
(FSH & LH)
Anterior Pituitary
Proteins
act throught second-messenger systems
Regulated by hormonal stimuli, mostly negative feedback
Go see page 547 must know this
Information
What is growth hormone ?
general metabolic
growth of skeletal muscles and long bones
fats to be broken down
what is pituitary dwarfism
results from hyposecretion of the GH during childhood
What is Gigantism ?
Results from hypersecretion of GH during childhood
What is Acromegaly ?
results from hypersecretion of GH during adulthood.
What is prolactin
Milk production following childbirth
what is Adrenocorticotropic
Regulates endocrine activity of the adrenal cortex
