Q

where is the second place things can go wrong in the endocrine system because of hormone binding?

A

the bloodstream

27
Q

the third place things can go wrong in the endocrine system due to receptors not receiving the hormone

A

the target cell

28
Q

a cell decreases the amount of receptors and becomes less sensitive

A

down regulation

29
Q

made from cholesterol, fat soluble, readily cross cell membranes

A

steroid hormones

30
Q

need a receptor and carrier to cross the cell membrane

A

non-steroid hormones

31
Q

a hormone being secreted causes something in the body to be inhibited

A

negative feedback

32
Q

what does the hormone-receptor complex activate in steroid hormones?

A

cell DNA to form messenger RNA

33
Q

what does the hormone-receptor complex activate in non-steroid hormones?

A

messenger cAMP

34
Q

when insulin levels are low you make more of what anabolic hormone?

A

growth hormone

35
Q

during exhaustive workouts insulin is low so what hormone is high?

A

growth hormone

36
Q

the amount of what in the bloodstream determines how much carbs/fat is being burnt?

A

insulin

37
Q

____ is used by fat to go through the bloodstream

estrogen is made in what cells

A

fat cells

40
Q

what converts testosterone into estrogen

43
Q

separates glycerol from the triglyceride

A

estrogen

44
Q

the stress hormone and spikes during high intensity exercise

A

cortisol

45
Q

controls fight or flight, mobilize energy sources, stored as fat when not used

A

cortisol

46
Q

adrenaline, comes out at high intensities and is dominant, sympathetic

A

epinephrine

47
Q

always comes out with epinephrine, burns fat when dominant, sympathetic

A

norepinephrine

48
Q

targets the hypothalamus and is made in the small intestine, closes pyloric sphincter, decreases appetite

A

CCK

49

testosterone, estrogen, cortisol, aldosterone

A

examples of steroid hormones

50
Q

T3, T4, epinephrine, norepinephrine

A

examples of non-steroidal hormones

51
Q

hormones cause a change and when that change happens it turns off the hormone

A

negative feedback loop

52
Q

insulin coming out when glucose levels are high

A

example of the hormone negative feedback loop

53

where is TSH made

A

pituitary
