Exam 2 Flashcards
Endocrinology
The study of hormones and their effects on the body.
Nueroendocrinology
Hormones can be divided into several classes based on chemical makeup: peptides, proteins, steroids
Control on hormone secretion
Endocrine glands release hormones directly into the blood which Carrie’s the hormone to a tissue to exert effect.
Rate at which a hormone is secreted from an endocrine gland is dependent on the magnitude of the input.
Type 2 Diabetes
The pancreas does not produce enough insulin and cells, respond poorly to insulin 
Hyperglycemia
When sugar cannot enter cells, a high level of sugar build up in the blood 
Type 1 Diabetes
When is the pancreas doesn’t make insulin
Symptoms
Being very thirsty
Feeling hungry
Losing weight without trying
What is the major site for hormone metabolism?
Liver
Growth hormone
The growth hormone increases during exercise to mobilize the lies fatty acids from adipose tissue, and to aid in the maintenance of blood glucose 
Growth hormone
Excess growth hormone during childhood results in gigantism and inadequate secretion causes dwarfism this is acromegaly
Steroids
Synthetic version of hormones 
Ways to natural balance, your hormones
Get enough protein, exercise regularly maintain a moderate wait low sugar intake get enough
Anabolic steroids
Synthetic substances that mimic the effects of testosterone
Side effects
Fluid retention, difficulty sleeping skin changes 
Heart rate during exercise
Play exercise between 60 to 70% of your maximum heart rate
Moderate exercise between 71 to 85% of your maximum heart rate 
Hormone Secretion
Insulin releases from the pancreas
And is made in the pancreas
What increases insulin secretion
Plasma glucose and amino acids
What decreases insulin secretion?
Increase in sympathetic nervous system activity
