chapter 7 Flashcards
endocrinology
study evolution of physiological funct of hormones
endocrine system
regulates and coordinated organs thr secretion of hormones
hormones
signal molecules delivered by circulatory fluids
endocrine requires
duration rather than speed
chem classes of hormones
peptide
prt
amines
steriods
peptide and prt hormones
aa
hydrophilic
amines types
tyrosine derived
catecholamines
thyroid hormones
catecholamines
hydrophilic aminest
thyroid hormones
thyroxine
lipophilic
steriods
cholesterol
lipophilic
peptide hormones
preprohormones synthesized
cleaved and peptide horm packaged into secretory vesicles
released from cell by exosytosis
cholesterol steroid
synthesized from diet
steriods are modified by series of
enzymatic rxns
steroid hormones – across membrane immediately
diffuse
hormones target
only target cells with specific hormone receptors
hormone mech
target receptor
peptides and catecholamines bind with rec
alter configuration of ion channels
or activate second messenger
steroid and thyroid hormone mech
pass thr membr bind with internal rec
transcription factors
hormone response element on DNA bind turning on synthesis of prt
reg of plasma concentration of hormones
negative feedback
neuroendocrine reflex
biological rhythms
neuroendocrine reflex
produce sudden incr in HS in resp to stimuli
biological rhythms
secre most hormones
biological clocks
