Final Memorize Flashcards
lipid soluble hormones 3
steroids
thyroid
nitric oxide - hormone and neurotransmitter, vasodilation
water soluble hormones – 3
amines - epinephrine, NE, dopamine, histamine, serotonin, melatonin - fight or flight
peptide/proteins - peptide 3-49 amino acids, proteins 50-200 - carries lipid soluble in blood
eicosanoids - prostaglandins (vasodilation), leukotriens (vasoconstriction)
pituitary secretes 5 classes
somatotrophs - growth hormone, most plentiful
thyrotrophs - TSH
gonadotrophs - FSH and luteinizing hormone
lactotrophs - prolactin (PRL)
corticotrophs – ACTH
Adrenal Cortex zones 3
Outside to inside
Zona glomerulosa - secretes mineralocorticoids - aldosterone
Zona fasciculata - secretes glucocorticoids - cortisone
Zona reticularis - secretes androgens - DHEA
Pancreas – 2 cell types, secrete what
Alpha cells secrete glucagon, 17%
Beta cells secrete insulin 70%
produced in salivary gland
stimulates proliferation of epithelial cells, fibroblasts, neurons, astrocytes
suppresses some cancer cells & secretion of gastric juices by stomach
Epidermal Growth Factors
Produced in blood platelets
stimulates proliferation of neuroglia, smooth muscle fibers, fibroblasts
appears to have a role in wound healing
may contribute to atherosclerosis development
Platelet Derived Growth Factor
Found in pituitary and brain
stimulates proliferation of many cells derived from embryonic mesoderm - fibroblasts, adrenocortical, smooth muscle, endothelial
stimulates formation of new blood vessels – angiogenesis
Fibroblast Growth Factor
Produced in submandibular (salivary) glands and hippocampus
stimulates growth of ganglia in embryo
maintains sympathetic nervous system
stimulates hypertrophy and differentiation of neurons
Nerve Growth Factor
Produced by normal and tumor cells
stimulate growth of new capillaries, organ regeneration, wound healing
Tumor Angiogenesis Factor
Produced by various cells as separate molecules
TGF-alpha has activities similar to EGF
TGF-beta inhibits proliferation of many cell types
Transforming Growth Factor
RBC breaks down into – 6
iron - transferred to marrow by transferrin
Biliverdin - green
Bilirubin - yellow, released into sm. intestines
Urobilinogen - breakdown of bilirubin in lg. intestines
urobilin - breakdown of urobilinogen, secreted in urine
Stercobilin - breakdown of urobilinogen, excreted in feces
Anemia requires 3
Lowered RBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit
normal amounts of WBC in blood 5
60% Neutrophils 30% Lymphocytes 6% Monocytes 3% Eosinophils 0% Basophils
Why is Neutrophil High Low
High: Bacterial Infection, burns, stress, inflammation
Low: Vitamin B12 deficiency, radiation, lupus, erythematosus
Why is Lymphocyte High Low
High: Viral Infection, some leukemias
Low: Prolonged illness, immunosuppression, treatment with cortisol
