Exam 1 Flashcards
Simple Squamous
-single layer of flattened cells
-fusion and filtration, not involved in protection
ex: kidney, lungs, endothelial lining of blood vessels(!!)
Simple Cuboidal
- single layer of cube cells with large spherical central nuclei
-secretion and absorption
Simple Columnar
-single layer of tall cells w round OVAL nuclei
-absorption and secretion
-secretion of mucus and enzymes
-some are ciliated (part of the airway)
Ex: airway (mucus), uterine tubes (ciliated),
Pseudostratified Columnar
-single layer of cells at different heights, nuclei is dispersed at random
-secretion, propulsion, more mucus
ex: goblet cells, airway, GI tract
Stratified Squamous
-several layers (cuboidal, columnar,squamous)
- areas that are open to outside of body
ex: upper throat area, areas subject to abrasion, vagina
Transitional Epithelia
-looks like both stratified squamous and cuboidal
-stretches
ex: bladder
endocrinology
- communication between cells OVER DISTANCE
Autocrine chemical messenger
-Cell A releases chemical outside of cell A, but it only affects Cell A
-self regulation
Paracrine chemical messenger
-chemical secreted outside of cell A but it affects neighboring cells
-hay fever
ex: histamines
Neurotransmitter chemical messenger
- produced by neuron
-into synaptic cleft by presynaptic nerve terminal
-short distance
ex: acetylcholine, epinephrine
Endocrine chemical messenger
-chemicals are secreted into blood stream
-travel distance to their target
-coordinated regulation of cell function
-multiple receptors affected by cell A
ex: testosterone, thyroid, growth hormone, estrogen, etc
Major endocrine glands (AP,PP,PG,TG,PTG,AG)
Anterior Pituitary :
Posterior Pituitary:
Pineal gland: releases melatonin (sleep wake cycle)
Thyroid: produces hormone that regulates metabolic rate
Parathyroid: (behind the thyroid), regulates calcium in the blood
Adrenal: snowflakes on top of kidneys
Adrenal cortex:
Adrenal medulla: epinephrine, norephedrine
Organs containing endocrine cells
Hypothalamus:
Ventral hypothalamic hormones: stimulate/inhibit release hormones from the anterior pituitary
super optic nuclei
paraventricular nuclei
skin
thymus: regulates maturation of immune cells
heart: atria regulates blood pressure
liver: digestion control, endocrine hormones
Pancreas: 99% is digestive, 1% (endocrine) insulin and glucagon
Gonads: testes (testosterone) and ovaries (progesterone, estrogen)
acute epinephrine
adrenaline
fight or flight
RR, HR go up
eyes go wide
Endocrine System chart
Amplitude moderated
concentration determines strength and magnitude
concentration equals size/strength of signal
Nervous system chart
Frequency moderated
depends on frequency of action potentials
all APs are the same size
Control of Hormone Release (PTH)
Humoral
Low Ca2+ concentration in capillary blood stimulates Parathyroid hormone (PTH).
released in response to blood levels of non-hormones: Ca2+, Na+, glucose
Control of Hormone Release (catecholamines)
Neural
Preganglionic SNS stimulates adrenal medulla to release catecholamine
fight or flight control
Control of Hormone Release (Tropins)
Hormonal
Hypothalamus secretes hormones that stimulates anterior pituitary gland to secrete hormones (thyroid gland, adrenal cortex, gonadotropin) that stimulate other endo glands to secrete hormones
chain reaction
Negative Feedback
Anterior pituitary secretes a tropic hormone that travels to target endocrine cell through blood
The hormone from the target endocrine cell secretes a hormone to the target cell
Hormone from the target endocrine cell has neg feedback effect on anterior pituitary and hypothalamus; decreases secretion of tropic hormone
tropic hormone–> hormone–> stop tropic hormone
Ex: sweat
Glucose
Insulin
Glucagon
Blood sugar
hormone released when glucose is too high
hormone released when glucose is too low
Positive Feedback
Anterior Pituitary gland secretes tropic hormone that travels to endocrine cell
hormone from the endocrine cell travels to target cell
Hormone from the target endocrine cell has PF on anterior pituitary and increases tropic hormone release
tropic hormone–>hormone–> more tropic hormone
intensifies
ex: serotonin during birth, contractions, pressure
Receptors
3 factors of specificity
receptor dynamics
hormone levels, # receptors on target organ, affinity of hormone for receptor
up-regulation: speeds up, more receptors are created when cell binds to hormone, reduces concentration in blood
down-regulation: slows down, cell destroys receptors @ high levels, more hormones than needed, minimizes site so less hormones bind, increases concentration
Hormone actions on target cell (5 categories, some do all/some/none)
-alter plasma permeability
opens/closes ion channels
- stimulates protein synthesis in ribosomes
- (de)activates enzymes
- induces secretory activity
- stimulates mitotic activity
Hormone Structures
(steroid,protein, biogenic amine)
Steroid:
lipid soluble, adrenal cortex/gonads
Ex: cortisol
Protein: water soluble, amino acid chain
Ex: Parathyroid
Biogenic amine: water soluble EXCEPT thyroid hormone, from AA that is modified
Ex: Tyrosine
cAMP 2nd messenger system
ALL amino acid base EXCEPT Thyroid
- ligand hormone (1st messenger) binds to receptor (lipophobic)
- receptor activates G protein (Gs)
GDP falls off, GTP is added on - Gs (GTP-alpha) activates adenylate cyclase (amplifier enzyme)
- Adenylate cyclase converts ATP to cAMP (2nd messenger)
- cAMP activates protein kinase A
triggers responses from target cells
PIP2 2nd Messenger Systems (IP3)
- hormone binds complementary receptor
- G protein activates
- Phospholipase C enzyme activates
(PIP2 is converted to IP3) - IP3 binds to channel in endoplasmic reticulum
- channel opens and Ca2+ enters cytoplasm (alters enzymes or binds to calmodulin)
Turning off cAMP response
hormone falls off receptor
deactivate Gs protein by hydrolysing GTP back to GDP+ phosphate (hydrolysis)
PDE lowers levels of cAMP
PIP2 2nd MS (DAG)
- hormone binds complementary receptor
- G protein activates
(PIP2 converts to DAG) - DAG activates protein kinase
Steroid Hormones
- steroid hormone diffuses thru plasma and binds to intracellular receptor
- receptor-hormone complex enters nucleus
- receptor-hormone complex binds a hormone response element
- binding starts transcription of gene to the mRNA
- mRNA directs protein synthesis
ex: Lance Armstrong and the anabolic steroids, Mares and the Cyclic estrus cycle (convinces horses they’re pregnant)
Hormone interactions (synergistic, permissive, antagonistic)
work together to increase effect
gentleman effect; one lets the other go first
hormones counteract each other
hypothalamus and pituitary
- Neurons in the ventral hypothalamus releases hormones into primary capillary plexus
Oxytocin and ADH
Hypothalamic neurons synthesize ADH and oxytocin
Oxy/ADH transported along of hypothalamic-hypophyseal tract to posterior pituitary(stored until the neurons fire)
Oxy/ADH stored in axon terminals in posterior pituitary
Oxy/ADH released into blood when hypothalamic neurons fire.
Hormones stored in neurohypophysis
neuronal regulations
Paraventricular: Oxytocin (contractions/ mammary glands)
Supraoptic Nucleus: antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or Vasopressin (AVP)
ADH
-diabetes insipidus
-breaking the seal
-hangovers
-neural damage leads to lack of ADH
-alc inhibits ADH
-dehydration
ventral hypothalamus
hypothalamic hormones
ventral hypothalamic neurons secrete releasing and inhibiting hormones into capillary plexus
hypothalamic hormones travel thru portal veins to anterior pituitary where they stimulate/inhibit hormone release from anterior pituitary
secreted into secondary capillary plexus
hormonal regulation
GHRH- release of growth
GHIH- stops growth
TRH- acts on endo tissue
CRH- releases ACTH
GnRH- gonads
PRH- prolactin stimulatory
PIH- prolactin inhibitory
