Q

Where are amine hormones stored?

In granules (Amines) and follicular cells (T3 and T4)

17
Q

Where are steroid hormones synthesized?

A

Cytosol, ER, and mitochondria

18
Q

What is the active version of vitamins 3? Where does this conversion happen?

A

1,25- dihydroxyvitamine D3

Hydroxylations occur in the liver and kidney

19
Q

What is humoral hormone secretion?

A

Hormone release that is activated by blood born substrate

Ex)low plasma Calcium triggers PTH release from parathyroid gland

20
Q

What is neural hormone secretion?

A

An extension of the CNS that signals a gland to secrete hormones

Ex) fight to flight response and altered physiologic states (Hypoglycemia, exercise, shock, and stress)

21
Q

What is hormonal hormone secretion?

A

Hormones that regulate the secretion of other hormones.

Ex) hypothalamic factors (TRH) stimulates pituitary hormones (TSH) which stimulates the endocrine gland (thyroid) to secrete thyroid hormone

22
Q

Hydrophilic hormones bind to receptors located on ***.

A

The outer cell membrane of the target cell

23
Q

Hydrophobic hormones bind to ***.

A

A nuclear receptor within the cell, they must diffuse through the lipid bilayer

24
Q

What is the threshold of hormone action?

A

The minimal amount of hormone needed to achieve an effect

25
Q

What is tissue sensitivity to a hormone?

A

The hormone concentration that produces 50% of the maximal response.
Determines how sensitive or resistant tissues are to a hormone

26
Q

What is the maximal dose of a hormone?

A

The effect of a saturating hormone dose. When adding more hormone wont change the response

27
Q

What does it mean if a hormone is permissive?

A

It cannot exert its full effects without another hormone being present.

28
Q

What are the 4 glycoproteins that are also in the peptide hormone family?

A

FSH, TSH, LH, and hCG

29
Q

What are the 3 functions of binding proteins?

A

1) provides a reserve that can be called upon to replenish the free pool
2) Keeps the hormone in the blood in the inactive state
3) involved in hormone turnover, which is the rate at which the hormone is released into the plasma and removed from the plasma.

30
Q

How go group 1 hormones do signal transduction?

A

They enter the cell nucleus where they bind to receptors on the DNA where specific thyroid (TSE) or steroid responsive elements (SRE) are activated
