Q

Hormone regulation occurs through feedback control
* What types of feedbacks (2)
* Endocrine cell has ability to do what?
* Enables endocrine cell to do what?

A
  • The mechanism is usually negative feedback, although a few positive feedback are known.
  • Endocrine cell has ability to “sense” biologic consequences of secretion of that hormone.
  • Enables endocrine cell to adjust its rate of hormone secretion to produce the desired level of effect, ensuring homeostasis

Q

Explain the difference in how anterior pit and posterior pit work?

A
  • Anterior pituitary hormones are synthesized and secreted in response to hypothalamic-releasing hormones carried in the hypophyseal portal circulation.
  • Magnocellular neurons in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus, whose axons terminate in the posterior lobe, synthesize posterior pituitary hormones.

Q

Gigantism
* When does problem occur?
* Typically due to what? What are other causes?
* Sometimes accompanied by what?

A
  • Problem occurs before closure of epiphyseal plate
  • Typically due to anterior pituitary adenoma causing hypersecretion of GH.
  • Other causes include hypothalamic tumor, ectopic GH from other tumors, genetic disorders
  • Sometimes accompanied by excess prolactin secretion – break milk, decreased menstruation, male breasts

Q

Acromegaly
* When does this occur?
* Typically due to what?
* What are some other causes?
* Can have what effect?

A
  • Problem occurs after closure of epiphyseal plate
  • Typically due to anterior pituitary adenoma causing hypersecretion of GH and IGF-1.
  • Other causes include hypothalamic tumor, ectopic GH from other tumors, genetic disorders
