Q

T/F, Thyroid hormones and steroids get stopped at the cell membrane?

20
Q

When a catecholamine or peptide hormone bind with a receptor what happens next?

A

The second messenger appears in the cytoplasm of the cell

21
Q

What happens when the enzyme adenyl cyclase is activated

A

cAMP is formed, which means If the adenyl cyclase activity of the liver cells were missing, Glucagon hormones could no longer stimulate the release of insulin

22
Q

When PDE (phosphodiesterase) is activated, what happens?

A

cAMP is broken down.

23
Q

RH (Realising Hormone) and IH (Inhibiting hormone) control the functions of what?

A

The Anterior Pituitary Gland

24
Q

Where do Rh and IH are released from where?

A

The Median Eminence of the Hypothalamus

25
Q

What organ system is the Hypothalamus involved in?

A

Neural and Endocrine

26
Q

What does the hypothalamus control the release of?

A

Adenhypophysis (anterior pituitary gland) by recreating RH and IH into the hypophysealportal system

27
Q

If the hypothalamus was damaged no TRH, CRH, GnRH would be released by the hypothalamus, What would happen?

A

NO TRH- The hypothalamus could not control the Thyroid hormone.
NO CRH- The hypothalamus could no longer control the Cortison
NO GnRH- the hypothalamus would no longer control gonadal Hormones ( sex hormones)

28
Q

Hormones that control the function of the Posterior Pituitary Gland?

A

ADH and Oxytocin of the Hypothalamus

29
Q

What would result if there was the destruction of the Supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus

A

A decrease of ADH

30
Q

What’s the Main Function of ADH

A

Decrease the loss of water loss at the Kidneys, This will cause a change of the blood osmotic pressure

31
Q

Where is the Pituitary gland?

A

Stella Tarcugia of the Sphenoid bone

32
Q

What is the posterior portion of the Pituitary Gland called?

A

Neurohypophysis

33
Q

Whats the anterior portion of the Pituitary gland called?

A

Adenohypophysis

34
Q

What hormones are released from the pituitary gland? (7)

A

TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH,MSH, GH, AND PRL

35
Q

Whats the hormone that is released by the pars intermedia of the adenohypophysis during early childhood?

36
Q

What hormone may lead to acromegaly if hypersecreted after the closure of the epiphyseal plate?

A

GH, From the anterior pituary gland

37
Q

What will happen if there is an excess secretion of GH PRIOR to puberty?

38
Q

What will occur if there is an excess secretion of GH AFTER puberty?

A

Acromegaly

39
Q

What is the hormone Prolactin for?

A

Milk Production

40
Q

Whats the hormone Oxytocin for?

A

Milk Ejection, and promoting Contrations

41
Q

How does GH Promote bone and muscle growth?

A

Increasing the Amino acid uptake.

42
Q

Growth Hormone can also cause what? (diabetic effect)

A

Hyperglycemia

43
Q

Liver cells respond to GH by releasing what?

A

Somatomedins or IGF (insulin-like growth hormones)

44
Q

Hormones that stimulate endocrine glands to release other hormones are called what?

A

Tropic hormones

45
Q

The anterior pituitary hormones that trigger the release of thyroid hormones from the thyroid
