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
Classification According to # of Carbon Atoms
ESTROGEN
ANDROGENS
GLUCOCORTICOIDS, MINERALOCORTICOIDS AND PROGESTINS
18,19 AND 21
Derived from Amino acids
Modified Amino Acids
Intermediary between steroid and protein hormones
AMINES
Derived from Thyroxine
Thyroid hormones
(T3 and T4)
Derived from Tryptophan
Melatonin
Derived from fatty acid, arachidonic acid
Modified Arachidonic Acid
EICOSANOIDS
GROUP 1 HORMONES
Steroids
Iodothyronines (Т3Т4)
Calcitriol
Retinoids
GROUP2 HORMONES
Polypeptides
Glycoproteins
Catecholamines
Production of anterior pituitary hormone
RELEASING HORMONE
Decreases / Suppress the secretion by another organ
INHIBITING HORMONE
For growth and activity of other endocrine glands
E.g.
TROPIC HORMONE
Produced by all other endocrine glands other than anterior pituitary gland and hypothalamus
Responsible for physiologic changes
HORMONE PRODUCTION
Contains sequences leader of amino acids called a signal sequences
Pre-prohormone
Has a sequence of amino acids and is called
Pre-hormone
Testosterone converted to dihydrotestosterone (active hormones) by ____
5 alpha-reductase
Enzyme aromatase will convert testosterone to an active form, ____
estradiol
G proteins: binds and hydrolyze____
GTP (Guanosine Triphosphate)
Just like cAMP (second messenger)
Also a second messenger
IP3 (INOSITOL TRIPHOSPHATE)
Calcium binding protein
Calmodulin
As a second messenger, it promotes the release or mobilization of calcium
Specific function
IP3 (INOSITOL TRIPHOSPHATE)
Enzyme Phospholipase C splits PIP2 into ____
IP3 and DAG
____hormones are capable of diffusing into the cell membrane for they are smaller in size
Group I
HYPOTHALAMUS is connected to the posterior pituitary by___
infundibulum or pituitary stalk
Send process through the pituitary stalk
Supraoptic neurons and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus
Directly involved of reabsorption of water by the renal tubules
Vasopressin or Antidiuretic Hormone
CRH
RELEASING:
TARGET ORGAN:
ACTH
ADRENAL GLAND
GNRH
