final a&p 2 Flashcards
Endocrine system
Glands, tissues, and cells that secrete hormones
Hormones
Chem messengers transported through bloodstream
What is pituitary gland controlled by
Hypothalamus
4 principal mechanisms of communication btwn cells
Gap junctions
neurotransmitters
Paracrines
Hormones
Exocrine glands
Have ducts, carry secretion to epithelial surface or mucosa of digestive tract
Extracellular effects (food digestion)
Endocrine system
No ducts, capillary network takes hormones into blood
Nervous/Endocrine - communication
Nervous - electrical impulses and neurotransmitters
Endocrine - hormones
Nervous/Endochrine - releases
Nervous - neurotransmitters at synapses at specific target cells
Endocrine - hormones into bloodstream for general distribution
Nervous/Endocrine - effects
Nervous - relatively local, specific effects
Endocrine - very general, widespread effects
Nervous/Endocrine reaction time
Nervous - quick, within 1-10 ms
Endocrine - slow, seconds to days
Nervous/Endocrine - stopping
Nervous - stops when stim stops
Endocrine - may continue to respond after stim stops
Nervous/Endocrine adaptation
Nervous - relatively quick to continual stim
Endocrine - relatively slowly, days to weeks
What is the adenohypophysis
Anterior pituitary
What is the neurohypophsis
Posterior pituitary
hypothalamic hormones
GnRH
TRH
CRH
PIH
GHRH
Somatostatin
Anterior lobe hormones
FSH
LH
TSH
ACTH
Prolactin
GH
posterior pituitary hormones
oxytocin
ADH
What is the full name, source, and target of ACTH
Adrenocorticotropic hormone
anterior pituitary
adrenal glands
What is the full name, source, and target of ADH
Antidiuretic hormone
posterior pituitary
kidneys
What is the full name and source of ANP
Atrial natriuretic peptide
