Q

hydrophobic hormones

A

hormone receptor complex in cytoplasm bc can cross lipid bilayer easily

Q

differences between hydrophobic and hydrophilic hormones

A
  • abundance (hydrophilic more abundant)
  • how they enter cell
    -signaling time
    -effect lasting time

16
Q

pituitary targets that ONLY function as part of endocrine system

A

thyroid, adrenal glands

17
Q

pituitary targets that have endocrine AND other functions

A

lungs, kidneys, digestive tract

18
Q

hypothalmus function

A

transmit signals (release factors) to pituitary gland; neurosecretory cells -> releasing hormones

19
Q

tropic hormones

A

hormones that control the release of other hormones:
FSH, LH, ACTH, thyroid stimulating hormone

20
Q

FSH and LH

A

ovaries release estrogen and testes produce testosterone

21
Q

ACTH

A

adrenal glands release cortisol

22
Q

direct hormones and functions

A
  • prolactin: stimulate lactation
  • endorphins
  • growth hormone
23
Q

posterior pituitary gland hormones (stores)

A

oxytocin and ADH/ vasopressin

24
Q

oxytocin function

A
  • female reproductive
  • contractions during birth
25
Q

Vasopressin function

A
  • kidneys (conc of urine)
  • maintain water and solute balance
26
Q

how are stored hormones released from posterior pituitary gland

A

stores in axons from the hypothalamus -> release hormones into capillary beds to body

27
Q

high blood sugar negative feedback

A

high blood glucose -> beta cells in pancreas secrete insulin (hormone) -> glucose stored as glycogen

28
Q

low blood sugar negative feedback

A

alpha cells from pancreas secrete hormone glucagon -> glycogen to glucose for energy

29
Q

what hormone released when blood sugar is high

A

insulin

30
Q

what hormone released when blood sugar is low

A

glucagon

31
Q

how is stress amplified by the ES

A

Hypothalamus 1 mg corticotropin releasing factor -> anterior pituitary gland (1 mg hormone) -> adrenal cortex (40 mg cortisol) -> liver (5600 mg glycogen)
* gives body energy for survival

32
Q

what kind of feedback is amplification

A

positive feedback

33
Q

positive feedback: birth

A

head pushes against cervix -> hypothalamus -> pituitary gland release oxytocin -> oxytocin stimulates contractions -> cycle

34
Q

pheromone functions in animals (3)

A
  • signal readiness for reproduction (ex. ladybugs)
  • marking territory (ex. dogs and wolves)
  • alert colony of food (ex. ants)
35
Q

trail pheromones

A

alert other soil insects of food nearby
