Question 18

Synthesis and secretion of peptide hormones

Answer 18

nucleus–>DNA–>transcription–>mRNA–>translation–>ER–>Golgi apparatus–>secretory vesicles–>ECF (stimulated by Ca++ and cAMP)

Question 19

After a hormone binds with a receptor, communication with the cell can continue via a second messenger such as?

Answer 19

cAMP, phospholipid

Question 20

Insulin stimulates which processes?

Answer 20

glucose transport, fat synthesis, growth and gene expression, protein synthesis, glucose synthesis (insulin receptor substrates - phosphorylation of enzymes)

Question 21

The most common second messenger system?

Answer 21

cAMP (then in order phospholipid, tyrosine kinase/cytokine, cGMP)

Question 22

Protein hormones have little protein binding and a short plasma half life which results in a large/small insulin response to a small sugar intake.

Answer 22

large

Question 23

Adrenal cortex hormones

Answer 23

cortisol, aldosterone, androgens

Question 24

Testes hormone

Answer 24

Question 30

Synthesis of Amine Hormones

Answer 30

tyrosine–>L-dopa–>dopamine–>NE–>EPI (or tyrosine–>thyroid hormones)

Question 31

T/F The majority of thyroid hormones are bound by proteins and thus have a longer plasma half life.

Answer 31

true
