Q

How does amino-acid based hormones use membrane passage mechanisms?

A

Enters cell→finds a chaperone cell→complex migrates to nucleus→ binds to a internal receptor

Q

How does steroid hormones used membrane passage mechanism

A

Binds to a extracelluiar receptor→signal transduction occurs→generates cAMP→ activates enzymes

Q

5 hormone effects on target cells?

A

1) alters plasma membrane permeability (insulin)
2) stimulates protein synthesis (promote anabolic reactions)
3) activates or deactivates enzyme system (on and off)
4) induces secretory activity (causes substance release)
5) stimulates mitosis (supports growth, maintenance, and repair)

16
Q

What are amino-acid based hormones?

A
17
Q

What are the mechanism of steroid hormone activation ?

A

Binds to a extracellular receptor → signal transduction occurs→ activates a 2nd messenger system

18
Q

What is the relationship between a target cell receptor and its hormone?

A

Receptor binding of hormone turns on a”pre-programmed” function

19
Q

What are the Three target cell activation?

A

1) hormone blood levels (concentration)
2) relative number of target cells receptors (how many)
3) hormone-receptor affinity (attractive force/binding strength)

20
Q

What are the principles of peptide hormone receptor up-regulation?

A

A persistently low hormone levels, which causesa increase in receptor numbers

21
Q

What are the principles of peptide hormones receptor down-regulation?

A

Continuously high levels of circulating hormone causes a decrease in receptor numbers

22
Q

What is the role of cAMP in peptide hormone signaling?

A

Triggers actuation of cytoplasmic enzymes like protein kinase

23
Q

What are bound hormones?

A

Steriod/thyroid hormones attachedto blood carrier proteins

24
Q

What are protein hormones?

A

Peptide hormones, lack carrier proteins

25
Q

What are two major factorsthat determine the concentration of a hormone in the blood?

A
  1. Rate of release
    2.speed of inactivation/body removal
26
Q

What are three ways hormones can be removed from the body

A

Humoral- changing ion/nutrient blood levels (direct response)
Neural- nerve fiber innervation (stimulus release)
Hormonal- produces/ release different release (hormone released by 1st gland causing 2nd to →)

27
Q

What is the major feedback mechanism controlling hormone release?

A

The negative Feedback system

28
Q

What is hormone half-life?

A

Length of time required for a blood hormone level to decrease by 50%

29
Q

What is a permissiveness hormone?

A

A hormone that cannot exert full effects without another hormone being present

30
Q

What is a synergism hormone?

A

A hormone’s effect are multiplied by another hormone being present
(Effects on a target lens are additive)

31
Q

What are antagonism hormones?

A

One or more hormones opposing action of another hormone

32
Q

List two characteristics of blood hormone levels

A

1.) most removaloccurs by target cell enzyme degradation or kidney/liver action
2.) exhibit very low concentration
