Chapter 5 Flashcards
exocrine glands
release enzymes to the external environment through ducts- include sweat, oil, mucous and digestive glands
endocrine glands
release hormones directly into body fluids
receptors
hormones act by binding to proteins called _____
peptide hormones
derived from hormones, made in the rough ER then transferred to Golgi appartus where it is modified with carbohydrates to become its final form
effector
target cell of the hormone
how peptide hormones diffuse into the cell membrane of the effector
attach to a membrane bound receptor,
intracellular second messenger
cAMP, cGMP or calmodulin –> activates/deactivates enzymes and/or ion channels, cascade of chemical reactions
AP hormones
FSH, LH, ACTH, hGH, TSH, prolactin
PP hormones
ADH, oxytocin
Parathyroid hormones
PTH
Pancreatic hormones
glucagon, insulin
steroid hormones
derived from cholesterol, require a protein transport molecule to dissolve in the blood stream, diffuse through the cell membrane of the effector, combine with a receptor in the cytosol, receptor transports the steroid into the nucleus and the steroid acts at transcription level, formed in the smooth ER and in the mitochondria
steroid hormones list
cortisol, aldosterone, estrogen, progesterone, tesosterone
tyrosine derivative hormones list
T3 and T4, catecholamines (epinephrine and nrepinephrine)
tyrosine derivative hormones
formed by enzymes in the cytosols or on the rough ER, slowly released to their target tissues and bind to receptors inside the nucelus, latent period to their response, increase the durate of their effect
