54
Q

3 types of hormones

A 
1. peptide
hormones
2. steroid hormones
3. amino-acid
derived hormones.
55
Q

peptide hormone is produced where

A

rough ER and made

of amino acids connected by peptide bonds.

56
Q

what does peptide hormones do?

A

binds to cell surface receptors because
they cannot pass freely through the cell
membrane as a result of being water-soluble
(and not lipid-soluble). The process of hormone
function is an indirect stimulation.

57
Q

The two

ways the signal can be received in peptide hormone

A

secondary messengers or

ligand-gated ion channels.

58
Q

secondary messengers are initiated by

A

G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) which are cell

surface receptors

59
Q

how does secondary messengers work

A

after binding to a peptide
hormone extracellularly. A G protein is coupled
to the receptor and dissociates into subunits
(alpha (α), beta (β) and gamma (γ)) after
activation. These subunits then act upon
intracellular second messengers to propagate
the signal.

60
Q

another way of initiating second messenger response upon binding to a peptide hormone.

A

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are another

cell surface receptor that dimerizes

61
Q

how does receptor tyrosine kinases work?

A

The intracellular
domains of RTKs cross-phosphorylate each
other and initiate second messenger signaling
within the cell.

62
Q

The second messenger system of peptide
hormone signaling allows for _____ and
_____physiological changes.

A

quick and immediate

63
Q

Ligand-gated ion channels change _____ upon
binding to peptide hormones, allowing ___ to flow
across the ______. No second messengers
are involved.

A

shape
ions
cell membrane

64
Q

where are steroid hormones made

A

smooth ER and

made up of a fused 4-ring structure.

65
Q

how does steroid hormones work?

A

requires a protein carrier to travel
through the bloodstream due to being lipophilic.
Freely crosses the cell membrane, and binds to
receptors either in the cytoplasm or the nucleus to
form molecule-receptor complexes that bind to
DNA, and influence gene transcription. This
process is known as direct stimulation.

66
Q

Steroid hormones cause ___ and _____

physiological changes.

A

slow and gradual

67
Q
  1. Amino-acid derived hormones:

T3 and T4 production by the thyroid gland to
increase metabolism.

89
Q

what is the largest endocrine organ

A

thyroid gland

90
Q

where is the thyroid gland located?

A

trachea

91
Q

3 main hormones of the thyroid

A

Triiodothyronine (T3)
Thyroxine (T4)
Calcitonin

92
Q

Triiodothyronine (T3) function

A

released in response
to TSH and increases metabolism in the
body. Has a negative feedback effect on
TSH secretion.

93
Q

Thyroxine (T4)

function

A

performs the same actions
as T3 above. However, T4 has one more
iodine and gets converted into T3 upon cell
uptake. It is much less potent than T3 but is
more stable in the blood.

94
Q

Calcitonin function

A 
secreted by the parafollicular
cells to decrease blood calcium levels.
Stimulates osteoblasts to use up blood
calcium to build bone and inhibits
osteoclasts. Also decreases calcium uptake in
intestines and kidneys.
95
Q

Hypothyroidism describes

A

over-secretion of
T3 and T4, resulting in increased levels of
metabolism in the body.

96
Q

what two things can lead to goiter?

A

hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism

Hypothyroidism causes
over-secretion of TRH to compensate for low T3
and T4, enlarging the thyroid gland, while
hyperthyroidism itself results from a
hyperactive thyroid gland.

97
Q

The parathyroid gland secrets

A

parathyroid

hormone (PTH)

98
Q 
parathyroid
hormone (PTH) function
A

performs in the opposite
way as calcitonin. It stimulates osteoclasts and
decreases calcium uptake by bones. Parathyroid
hormone increases blood calcium levels.

99
Q

what two tissues does the pancreas contain?

A

exocrine and endocrine

100
Q

Exocrine tissue secretes

A

digestive enzymes

through the pancreatic duct to the small intestine.

101
Q 
endocrine tissue (the islets of Langerhans)
secretes
A

glucagon, insulin and somatostatin.
These three hormones are each secreted by a
different cell type as listed below: alpha/beta/delta

102
Q

alpha cells secrete what

A

glucagon in response
to low blood glucose levels. Glucagon raises
glucose levels by stimulating the liver and fat
tissue to release their glucose storages.

103
Q

beta cells secrete what

A

insulin in response to
high blood glucose levels. Insulin lowers
glucose levels by stimulating the liver,
muscle, and fat tissue to store glucose.

104
Q

Delta (δ) cells - secrete

A

somatostatin, which
inhibits growth hormone. It also inhibits the
secretion of glucagon and insulin.

105
Q

how many adrenal gland does our body have

A

2

106
Q

adrenal gland structure

A

Each adrenal
gland has an outer cortex and an inner medulla.
They mainly help the body deal with stress.

107
Q

function of adrenal cortex

A

Deals with longer term stress.
● Stimulated by secretion of ACTH from the
anterior pituitary.
● Releases steroid hormones.
● Produces glucocorticoids (i.e. cortisol) to
raise blood glucose levels for immediate fuel
during periods of long-term stress. However,
this also lowers our immune response.
● Produces mineralocorticoids (i.e.
aldosterone) to increase blood volume and
blood pressure by raising reabsorption of
Na
+
. Water passively gets reabsorbed with
Na
+ due to osmosis.
● Produces a small amount of male sex
hormones (androgens).

108
Q

function of Adrenal medulla:

A

● Deals with short-term stress.
● Stimulated by sympathetic nervous system.
● Releases amino-acid derived hormones.
● Produces catecholamines (epinephrine and
norepinephrine) to initiate “fight or flight”
response by increasing heart rate and the
breakdown of glucose. Also increases blood
flow to brain/muscles and air flow to lungs.

109
Q

After stimulation by LH and FSH, what do the ovaries and testes produce?

A

ovaries
produce progesterone and estrogen, while the
testes produce androgens such as testosterone.

110
Q

LH function in females

A

LH - during menstrual cycle, the LH surge
causes ovulation. This results in the
formation of a corpus luteum, which
produces progesterone and estrogen.

111
Q

FSH function in females

A

FSH - stimulates follicle growth in ovaries,
which results in the increased production of
progesterone and estrogen.

112
Q

LH function in males

A

LH - triggers testosterone production by

Leydig cells.

113
Q

FSH function in males

A

FSH - stimulates sperm maturation.

114
Q

Hormonal control relies on

A

feedback systems,
which fall under positive and negative feedback
loops.

115
Q

Positive feedback

A

the change causes the
amplification of itself, forming a loop that
continues to intensify. You can think of it as
promoting exponential growth.

116
Q

Negative feedback

A

the change causes the
inhibition of itself, forming a loop that
prevents hormone overproduction. You can
think of it as promoting stability in the body
