chapter 16 Flashcards
hormones
long distance chemical signals that travel the blood or lymph
two types of hormones?
Amino acid based hormones and steroid hormones
Amino acid based hormone?
amines, thyroxine, proteins, and peptides
what hormone is synthesized from cholesterol? This class includes gonadal and adrenocorticoid homromes
steroid hormones
what are two mechanisms of hormone action?
Water soluble hormones and lipid soluble hormones
Know that all water soluble hormones are all amino acid based except?
thyroid
___________ act on intracellular receptors that directly activate genes ( directly diffuse into cell)
lipid soluble hormones
______ bind to receptors thru secondary messengers
water soluble hormones
Steps of mechanisms of hormone actions
- alter plasma membrane permeability pf membrane potential by opening and closing ion channels
- stimulate synthesis of proteins or regulatory molecules
- activate/ deactivate enzyme systems
- induce secretory activity
- stimulate mitosis
cAMP steps
- hormone binds to receptor
- receptor changes shape, activate G protein inside the cell.
- GTP binds to G protein, activate adenylate cyclase
- Adenylate cyclase converts ATP to cyclic AMP
- cAMP activates protein kinases
What is up regulation?
target cells form more receptors
What is down regulation?
target cell loses receptors
hormones can act in several different ways, what are the 3 ways?
permissiveness
synergism
antagonism
What is it called when one hormone cant work w/o another one present?
permissivness
What is synergism?
more than one hormone can produce the same effect on a target cell
what Is it called when one or more hormone oppose the action of another?
antagonism
intracellular receptors ( steroid hormones and thyroid hormone)
- diffuse into target cell, bond w intracellular receptors
- receptor- hormone complex enters nucleus
- receptor hormone binds to DNA
- prompts DNA transcription-> mRNA
- mRNA direct protein synthesis
target cell activation depends on what three things?
- blood level of hormone
- # of hormone receptors on or in target cell
- affinity of binding between hormone and receptor
blood level of hormones are controlled by
negative feedback systems
hormones are synthesized and released in response to?
- humoral stimuli
- neural stimuli
- hormonal stimuli
changes blood levels of ions and nutrients directly stimulates secretion of hormones is what stimuli?
humoral
ex of humoral stimuli?
Ca2+ in de blood
Declining ca@+ in the blood stimulate PTG to release PTH and then the Ca2+ levels rise and stimulus is removed
Neural/ hormonal stimuli?
nerve fibers stimulate hormone release. hormones stimulate other endocrine organs to release their hormones
the pituitary gland has two lobes called what
anterior pituitary and posterior pituitary
what makes up the anterior pituitary?
pituicytes and nerve fibers
what makes up the posterior pituitary?
glandular tissue
Anterior pituitary hormones are all ______ except _____ activate cAMP
proteins and GH
Which hormones are tropic?
TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH
name all the anterior pituitary hormones
GH, TSH, LH, PRL, ACTH, FSH
