Q

Why bother with packaging and storing of peptide hormones?

A
  1. prevent from degradation
  2. reduce effects of hormone on cell thats making it
  3. can be released in large quantities when needed

Q

A 4th class of hormones is…. which are lipids derived from…. and are locally acting

A

eicosanoids

arachidonic acid

17
Q

Some eicosanoids are… , … , … and …

A

prostaglandins
prostacyclins
thromboxanes
leukotrienes

18
Q

do peptide hormones and catecholamines need binding carrier proteins?

A

no because they are hydrophilic and can readily dissolve in the plasma. but they can use they to reduce the chance of degradation/clearance

19
Q

… hormones use binding carrier proteins

A

lipophilic (steroid and thyroid hormones)

20
Q

hormones in the blood have 4 fates

A
  1. excreted in urine or feces
  2. inactivated by metabolism
  3. activated by metabolism
  4. goto target cell and produce response
21
Q

the amount of hormone circulating in the blood at any one time is a function of what has been …combined with the rate of…

A

synthesized/secreted

clearance

22
Q

the effects of a hormone depends on the following 3 factors

A
  1. how much is secreted
  2. how quickly its cleared from the blood
  3. receptor expression on target
23
Q

receptors for peptides and catecholamines are on….

These hormones are too … or too… to pass through membrane

A

cell surface in plasma membrane

large
lipophobic

24
Q

2 possible responses to peptides and catecholamines

A
  1. ionotropic

2. metabotropic

25
Q

do peptides and catecholamines need to use a 2nd messenger system?

26
Q

the hypothalamus forms the floor of the … and surrounds the…

A

diencephalon

3rd ventricle

27
Q

The…. is the hollow stalk of tissue that connects the posterior pituitary gland to the base of median eminence of the hypothalamus

A

infundibulum

28
Q

The… or… develops from an outpocketing of the oral ectoderm that pinches off the roof of the mouth and lies above the palate

A

anterior pituitary gland

adenohypophysis

29
Q

The…. or… buds off of the floor of the hypothalamus and is suspended below the brain by the infundibulum

A

posterior pituitary gland

neurohypophysis

A

oxytocin

vasopressin (ADH)

32
Q

the posterior pituitary contains axon terminals of 2 hypothalamic nuclei… and..

A

supraoptic

paraventricular

33
Q

… inhibits secretion of GH

A

Somatostatin

34
Q

… inhibits the secretion of prolactin

35
Q

… stimulates secretion of ACTH

36
Q

… stimulates the secretion of TSH

37
