Exam 5 Final Flashcards
Rise in intracellular ______ releases peptide/protein hormones via exocytosis
Ca2+
Only the ___________ pituitary uses releasing hormones from the hypothalamus
anterior
What does dopamine inhibit?
prolactin
What is the affect of blood glucose in response to GH?
increase BG
When in development is GH secreted?
only AFTER birth
What are the 4 roles of GH?
- linear growth
- decreased fat
- increased muscle
- stimulate immune system
What hormone is very important for in utero developnment?
insulin
How does GH induce linear bone growth?
stimulates IGFs (somatomedins) which will stimulate chondrocytes to lengthen bone
What cell type do IGFs stimulate for linear growth?
chondrocytes
What is the target organ of growth hormone?
liver
What does GH DIRECTLY affect?
increases production of IGF-1
What 2 things can inhibit GH?
- itself
- IGFs on the hypothalamus
What is the main role of thyroid hormone?
increase metabolism
T___ is able to inhibit TRH and TSH
T4
What cells produce calcitonin?
C cells (parathyroid)
What is the role of calcitonin?
inhibits osteoclasts from destroying bone
- opposite of PTH
In hypothyroidism, what are the levels of T3, T4, and TSH?
T3 and 4: decrease
TSH: increase
In hyperthyroidism, what are the levels of T3, T4, and TSH?
T3 and 4: increase
TSH: decrease
What is the transporter that brings iodide out of the cell?
pendrin
What enzyme does deiodination?
TPX
What is a short loop feed back?
pituitary hormones inhibiting hypothalamus
What is a long loop feedback?
target organ’s hormone feeds back to hypothalamus
What is the role of parathyroid hormone?
increase Ca2+
lowers HPO3-
Where does PTH act?
kidneys **
gut
bones
How does PTH raise Ca2+ levels using the bones?
stimulates osteoBLASTS which stimulate osteoCLASTS to break down bone
High levels of Ca2+ and HPO3- stimulate which form of Vitamin D?
24,25-OH-D3
(inactive)
What cell type produces PTH?
chief cells
