Lecture #20 Endocrine System Flashcards

1
Q

What are some of the similarities between the Endocrine and Nervous system?

A

Both act together to coordinate body activites (control processes)

Both systems use chemical messengers for intercellular communitication (gap junctions released one cell to the next)

Main homeostasis

Q

What are some of the differences betwee the Endocrine and Nervous system?

A

In the Nervous system, the signals we look at are Action Potential, intensity of cell, and frequency of action potential–also the messaging speed is extremely fast in (milliseconds to seconds)

The endocrine system, are hormones realease by one type of cells influencing a target cell–message is slower (second to minutes, days to weeks, affect for a long period of time)

Q

What are exocrine glands?

A

Secrete products into ducts or lumens or the outer surface of the body such like tears, sweat, and mucous

Which can cause chemicals to arise from these glands, secretion of chemicals, and skin surface

Q

What are some examples of steroid hormones?

A

Corisol, Testorone,

Estrogens, Progestrone, Aldosterone

18
Q

Are thyorid hormones lipid soluble?

A

Yes, very lipidy soluble.

19
Q

What are thyroid hormones made of?

A

Made of tyrosin ring with attached iodines–synthesized by attaching iodine to the amino acid tyrosine (T3 & T4)

20
Q

What are Water soluble hormones?

A

Peptide and protein hormones and biogenic amines

21
Q

What are peptide and protein hormones made of?

A

Chains of amino acids

22
Q

What part of the brain helps with releasing and inhibiting hormone called for the peptide and protein hormone?

A

Hypothalamic releasing and inhibiting hormones

23
Q

What are some examples for Peptide and protein hormones?

A

ADH, oxytocin, hGH, TSH, ACTH

Insulin, glucagon, EPO

24
Q

Are Biogenic Amines water soluble?

A

Yes

25
Q

What are biogenic amines?

A

Modified Amino acids

26
Q

What are some examples of Biogenic Amines?

A

Catecholamines: NE, epinephrine, dopamine

Serotonin, melatonin, histamine

27
Q

What are the functions of the hormones?

A

Hormones are released from glands in response to internal and external changes

Hormones produce wide reaching, coordinated effects on multiple target tissues, and help to main homeostasis

28
Q

How do hormones regulate the organ system function?

A

Ion and nutrient levels in extracellular fluid and blood

Metabolic Pathways

Biological clock

Contraction of cardiac and smooth muscle

Glandular secretion

Some immune functions

Growth & Development

Reproduction

29
Q

How do circulating hormones work?

A

Hormones only affect target cells with specific membrane or intracellular proteins called hormone receptors

30
Q

All hormones have 1 or more types of target cells. To be a target cell for a hormone, all a cell must do is have a receptor for that hormone… True or false?

A

True

31
Q

How do circulating hormones bind to cells?

A

Can bind on the cell surfaces or to receptors inside target cell

32
Q

How does a cell know when to respond?

A

Synthesis of new molecules

Change in membrane permeability

Altered rates of reaction

33
Q

Do different target cells respond to the same hormone diffrently?

A

Yes!

For examples: Hepatocytes–insulin stimulates glycogen sythesis

Adipocytes–insulin stimulates triglyceride synthesis

34
Q

What happens with steroid hormones when they react to the cell?

A

Receptors are typically intracellular

Work by changing the level of specific gene expression–leading to slow response

35
Q

Draw out and expalin the cycle of steroid hormone action.

A
  1. Lipid soluble hormone diffuses into cell
  2. Activated receptor–hormone complex alters gene expression
  3. Newly formed mRNA directs synthesis of specific proteins on ribsomes
36
Q

What is going on with the peptide hormone action?

A

Peptide hormones bind to cell surface receptors

Peptide hormones evoke changes in activity of existing proteins through a second messenger

Second messengers alter the phosphorylation state of existing proteins—response to water soluble hormones is very fast!

37
Q

Draw out and describe the process of peptide hormone action.

A
  1. Binding of hormone (1st messenger) to its recpetor activates a specific G protein, which activates adenylate cyclase
  2. Activated adenylate cyclase converts ATP to cAMP
  3. cAMP serves as a 2nd messenger to activate protein kinase
  4. Activated protein kinases phosphorylate cellular proteins
  5. Millions of phosphorlated proteins cause reactions that produce physiological responses
  6. Phosphodieterase inactivates cAMP
38
Q

Is it water soluble or lipid soluble hormones cause a producition of sencond messengers?

A

Water soluble (peptide) hormones

39
Q

What are second messengers?

A

They happen when peptide hormones bind to the cell surface receptors and the first messerger hormones can increase or decrease the levels of the second messengers

40
Q

What are some examples of second messengers?

A

cAMP
Calcium ions
cGMP

41
Q

Can the same hormone be used with different second messengers in different target cells (for example: NE)?

A

YES!

42
Q

What do second messengers initiate?

A

A cascade of biochemcial reactions, often involving phosphorlaytion or dephosphorylation, within target cells
