Chapter 17 Endocrine Flashcards
Describe an anabolic reaction
Smaller and simpler reactants form more complex and bigger molecules.
What is a catabolic reaction?
The breakdown of a reaction of more complex molecules into smaller and more simple products
ATP can be made by which two processes? And what are they?
Glycolysis- anaerobic respiration through conversion of glucose to pyruvate 2 ATP
Oxidative phosphorylation- aerobic mitochondria use electron transport chain 30-36 ATP
Define glycolysis
Catabolism of glucose to pyruvate
Define Glycogenesis
Anabolism of glucose to glycogen
Define glycogenolysis
Catabolism of glycogen to glucose
Define gluconeogenesis
Production of glucose from amino acids or neutral fats
What’s the endocrine system?
The gland tissues and cells that secrete hormones
Endocrinology
The study of the endocrine system and the diagnosis/treatment of its disorders
Endocrine glands
Organs that are traditional sources of hormones
Hormones
Chemical messengers that are transported through the blood stream that stimulate physiological responses on the cells
Describe exocrine glands
Have ducts
Have extra cellular effects
Describe endocrine glands
Do not have ducts
Capillary networks
Intercellular effects
How is the endocrine system different than the nervous system
Chemical communication no electrical
Reacts and responds slower
Adapts slower than nervous system
Endocrine is less targeted to an area and more widespread effects
What are the three different types of hormones?
Amines hormones - derived from amino acids epineferine norepienephrine
Steroid hormones- derived from cholesterol like estradiol, testosterone aldosterone
Peptide hormones- water soluble and made of 3+ amino acids (most common)
Which organ has an anterior and a posterior lobe made up of two different tissues.
The pituitary gland
Which lobe of the pituitary gland Is responsible for storing hormones? What hormones does it store?
Posterior pituitary responsible for storing oxytocin and anti diuretic hormone. Hypothalamus tells it what to do
Which lobe of the pituitary gland regulates and produces its own hormones. Which hormones does it produce?
Anterior pituitary Somatostatin Growth hormone Prolactin Follicle stimulating hormone Luetinizing hormone Adrenocorticotropic hormone Thyroid stimulating hormone
Which lobe of the pituitary is formed from the brain (nervous tissue)
Posterior lobe
Which lobe of the pituitary is formed from the epithelial tissue?
Anterior pituitary
What is follicle stimulating hormone for?
Secretion of ovarian hormones, development of ovarian follicles , sperm production
What is luteinizing hormone do?
Stimulate ovulation, secretion of progesterone, stimulate testes to produce testosterone
