final review (18-20) Flashcards
pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pineal glands
endocrine glands
Steroid hormones
Thyroid hormones
Nitric oxide (NO)
lipid soluble hormones- use transport proteins
Amines
Peptides/ proteins
Eicosanoids
water soluble hormones -circulating in ‘free’ form
most hormonal regulation is by
negative feedback
major link btwn nervous and endocrine system
hypothalamus
pituitary attached to hypothalamus by the ___
infundibulum
condition caused by lack of insulin
diabetes mellitus
condition in which kidneys are unable to conserve water
diabetes insipitus
somatotrophs(hGH); insulin like growth factors(IGFs); thyrotrophs(TSH); gonadotrophs; follicle stimulating hormone(fSH), luteninzing hormone (LH); lactotrophs(prolactin PRL); cortiocrophs(ACTH); melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)
adenohypophyosis cells
Stimulates secretion of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) that promote growth, protein synthesis
hGH or somatostatin
stimulates synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones by thyroid
TSH
ovaries initiate development of oocytes; testes stimulate testosterone production
FSH
ovaries stimulate ovulation; tests stimulate testosterone production
LH
excess GH in adulthood
acromegaly
promotes milk secretion by mammary glands
PRL prolactin
stimulates glucocorticoid secretion by adrenal cortex
adrenocorticotropic hormone (ATCH) or corticotrophin
uncertain complete roles in humans
melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)
too much CRH, ACTH, cortisol
cushings syndrome
too little CRH, ACTH, cortisol
addison’s disease
produced by hypothalamus and secreted by neurohypophysis
OT oxytocin; ADH antidiuretic hormone
located inferior to larynx; 2 lobes connected by isthmus
thyroid gland
- Thyroxine or tetraiodothyronine (T4)
- Triiodothyronine (T3)
- Both increase BMR, stimulate protein synthesis, increase use of glucose and fatty acids for ATP production
thyroid hormones
cells that produce calcitonin and lower blood Ca by inhibiting bone resorption
parafollicular cells or C cells
thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) released from
hypothalamus
thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from
anterior pituitary
-Mineralocorticoids affect mineral homeostasis (Aldosterone retains Na in exchange for K)
-Glucocorticoids affect glucose homeostasis (Cortisol)
Androgens have masculinzing effects
adrenal cortex
intensifies sympathetic responses with epinephrine and norepinephrine
adrenal medulla
___ islets are both exocrine and endocrine gland
pancreatic
alpha or A cells secrete __ raising blood sugar
glucagon
beta or B cells secrete ____- lowering blood sugar
insulin
delta or D cells secrete ___- inhibiting both insulin and glucagon
somatostatin
f cells secrete ___ ___- inhibiting somatostatin, gallbladder contraction, and secretiion of pancreatic digestive enzymes
pancreatic polypeptide
attached to roof of 3rd ventricle of brain at midline; has masses of neuroglia and pinealocytes; secretes melatonin controlling bio clock
pineal gland
stress response with stages:
Initial flight-or-fight
Slower resistance reaction
Eventually exhaustion
general adaptation syndrome (GAS)
formed elements include RBCs, WBCs, and platelets/plasma proteins including
albumins, fribrinogen, antibodies
formation of blood cells taking place in the red bone marrow/abundance of WBC types based on response to invading pathogens
hemopoiesis
have ability to develop into many diff types of cells: myeloid and lymphoid
pluripotent stem cells
give rise to RBCs, platelets, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils
myeloid stem cells
