Q

What is permissiveness in hormone interactions?

A

It is where one hormone cannot fully exert its effects unless a second hormone is present. (needs help from a second hormone to do its job)

Q

Name 4 hormones that increase blood pressure, and how does it happen in each of these hormones?

A
  1. Antidiuretic (ADH or vasopressin)- Increases blood pressure because of water reabsorption in the kidneys
  2. Thyroid hormones (T4 & T3)- It increases your blood pressure by Helping you be more sensitive to epinephrine and norepinephrine (the flight of flight hormones)
  3. Catecholamines (epinepthrine and norepinphrine)- By doing vasoconstriction (contracting the smooth muscles in blood vessels)
  4. Aldosterone- It increases blood pressure by increasing reabsorption of Na+ in the kidney (so the water stays in the kidney), increases desire for salty foods

Q

If thyroid hormones are high will the TSH and the TRH be high or low in the hypothalamus, anterior pituitary, and endocrine organ cascade?

A

TRH and TSH will low because of the negative feedback loop (already have good thyroid hormone levels sot they do not need TSH and TRH to be active and make more)

Q

How does hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism effects the body and its cells?

A

Hypothyroidism- it affects your body by slowing everything down (metabolism) and making you more weak constant fatigue because your cells aren’t functioning properly, feeling cold etc.

Hyperthyroidism- It affects your body by increasing everything (metabolism), So it increases heart rate which can lead to heart diseases, causes osteoporosis by speeding up bone remodeling instead of reabsorbing calcium

Q

What is the difference between calcitonin and parathyroid hormones in calcium regulation?

A

Calcitonin- Responds to hypercalcemia in the blood (high calcium levels in the blood), Which slows down osteoclasts which reduces the rate of calcium being released, has the kidney excrete calcium, and prevents the intestines from absorbing calcium

Parathyroid hormones- Responds to hypocalcemia in the blood (low calcium levels), Which increases osteoclasts and increases calcium storage in bones, and increases the absorption of calcium in the intestines,

Q

What is the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes?

A

Type 1- It is insulin dependent, the pancreas cannot produce insulin, an autoimmune disorder, not that genetic, have to inject insulin, often develops during childhood, need of insulin pump

Type 2- It is very genetic, the pancreas produces insulin but the cells cannot respond to the insulin properly (GLUT 4 receptors), so it is insulin resistant, most common, associated with obesity

Q

What is the difference between body cell response when Insulin or glucagon bind to the cells?

A

Insulin- Helps with glucose uptake in the cells by increasing transport proteins, enhances ATP production, helps with glycogen formation so glucose can be stored, helps with amino acid absorption and protein synthesis, helps with absorption of glucose in adipose tissue which makes more triglycerides

Glucagon- Helps with breakdown of glycogen in skeletal muscles and liver cells, helps breakdown triglycerides, helps with production of glucose in the liver

Q

What is the hypothalamus, anterior pituitary gland, and endocrine gland cascade?

A
  1. The hypothalamus releases RH hormones to the anterior pituitary gland
  2. The anterior pituitary gland releases the hormone (#1) to the endocrine target organ
  3. The endocrine target organ responds to the hormone received by the anterior pituitary gland and makes its own hormone (#2)
  4. When hormone #2 is secreted from the endocrine target organ it send it to the target cells it also drives a negative feedback response which inhibits secretion of the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary hormone

Q

What is the result (function) of Cortisol?

A
  • Increases glucose and glycogen formation in the liver
  • does anti-inflammatory effects
  • release of lipids from adipose tissue
  • releases amino acids from skeletal muscles
106
Q

What is the result (function) of Aldosterone?

A
  • Increases blood pressure and volume by increasing reabsorption of Na+ in the kidney
  • accelerates urinary loss of K+
107
Q

What is the result (function) of Androgens?

A
  • Grows pubic hair in males and females before puberty
  • sex drive in females
  • promotes muscle mass in females and blood cell formation
108
Q

What is the result (function) of Catecholamines?

A
  • Accelerates breakdown of glucose then sends it to the neural tissue
  • breaks down fatty acids to make ATP
  • Makes the heart beat faster
  • increases blood glucose levels
109
Q

What is the result (function) of insulin?

A
  • Accelerates glucose uptake in cells
  • utilizes glucose well and makes ATP
  • Makes glycogen
  • makes triglycerides
110
Q

What is the result (function) of Glucagon?

A
  • breaks down glycogen and triglycerides
  • stimulates production of glucose in the liver
111
Q

What is the basic function of leptin? (EXTRA CREDIT)

A

It makes you full (satiety) and suppresses your appetite

112
Q

What is the basic function of erythropoietin? (EXTRA CREDIT)

A

It forms red blood cells and does vasoconstriction

113
Q

What is the basic function of Thymosin? (EXTRA CREDIT)

A

It makes and matures T cells and it regulates the immune system response

114
Q

What is the basic function of FSH? (EXTRA CREDIT)

A

Secretes estrogen (to release eggs)
does perm production and maturation
growth of ovarian follicles

115
Q

What is the basic function of melatonin? (EXTRA CREDIT)

A
  • It changes the sleeping cycles (works better on adults than kids)
  • It inhibits early sexual maturation in children
116
Q

What is the function of natriuretic peptides? (EXTRA CREDIT)

A

It decreases the blood volume and pressure by

  • increasing excretion of Na+ from the kidney (it pees out sodium and the water goes with it)
  • suppresses aldosterone
  • it is antagonistic to aldosterone
117
Q

What is the other word for the ADH hormone? (EXTRA CREDIT)

A

VASOPRESSIN

118
Q

What would happen if there was no leptin? (EXTRA CREDIT)

A
  • excessive hunger
  • weight gain and obesity
119
Q

What would happen if there was no erythropoietin? (EXTRA CREDIT)

A
  • lack of blood cells being produced
  • You would have lower red blood cells and have anemia
120
Q

What would happen if there was no Thymosin? (EXTRA CREDIT)

A
  • You would have a weakened immune system do to the fact that there would be not enough T cells in the body
120
Q

What would happen if there was no melatonin? (EXTRA CREDIT)

A
  • We would have sleeping disorders (disruption during sleep)
  • Children would mature faster
121
Q

What would happen if there was no FSH? (EXTRA CREDIT)

A
  • Fertility issues in men and women (lack of sperm production and lack or egg production)
  • poor ovarian and testicular work
122
Q

What would happen if there was no natriuretic peptides? (EXTRA CREDIT)

A
  • You would have excessive amount of sodium in the body (and water)
  • could cause hypertension
  • You would be thirsty all the time
123
