HORMONES CLASSIFICATION Flashcards
TYPES OF HORMONES
Endocrine
Paracrine
Autocrine
Juxtacrine
Intracrine
Exocrine
Neurocrine
Neuroendocrine
Classic or traditional hormones
ENDOCRINE HORMONES
Secreted in one location
ENDOCRINE HORMONES
Secreted in endocrine cells
PARACRINE HORMONE
Reach the target organs within the same site by diffusing through interstitial fluid (ECF) or spaces
PARACRINE HORMONES
In short Hormone acts locally by diffusing from its source to target cells in the neighborhood
PARACRINE HORMONES
Binds to specific receptor on cell of origin resulting to self-regulation of its function
AUTOCRINE
Best example of Autocrine Hormone:
Prolactin
Secreted in endocrine cells and remain in relation to plasma membrane
JUXTACRINE HORMONES
Acting on adjacent cell by direct cell-to-cell contact
JUXTACRINE HORMONES
JUXTACRINE HORMONES Best example: ____
There is direct cell-to-cell interaction
Peptide Hormones
Hormones that acts in the cell without being released
INTRACRINE HORMONES
INTRACRINE HORMONES EXAMPLE:
INSULIN
Produced / secreted in endocrine cells
EXOCRINE
Released into the lumen of gut or GIT
EXOCRINE HORMONES
Secreted in neurons
Released into the extracellular space
NEUROCRINE HORMONES
Secreted in neurons
Released from the nerve endings
NEUROENDOCRINE HORMONES
Specifically, there is classification of hormones based on composition:
Peptides and Proteins
Steroids
Amines
Eicosanoids
Synthesized and stored within the cell in the form of secretory granules
PEPTIDES & PROTEINS
__are large molecules which is why they cannot diffuse or cross cell membrane
Proteins
Larger chains of Amino Acids
GLYCOPROTEINS
More than___ amino acids and bound to one more carbohydrate group
100
Chains of Amino acids only
POLYPEPTIDES
PRECURSOR OF STEROIDS
CHOLESTEROL
