Lecture 67 Flashcards
_______ two hormones does the thyroid gland produce?
T3 and T4
Overall function of T3 and T4: Increase rate of basal oxygen use, _______, and rate of heat production
Basal metabolism
Overall function of T3 and T4: Modulate delivery of substrates and oxygen by
cardiovascular and respiratory systems to sustain metabolic rate
_______ does thyroid hormone levels change based on?
Energy need, calorie supply and environmental temperature
_______ do you need for hormone thyroid synthesis?
2 tyrosines and iodine
_______ is the major thyroid hormone produced?
3, 5, 3’, 5’ Tetraiodothyronine (thyroxine, T4)
Thyroxine functions as a circulating _______
prohormone
_______ is the thyroid hormone that is secreted in lesser quanitity
3,5,3’- triiodothyronine (T3)
_______ is the biologically active hormone?
T3
_______ is the T4 hormone?
3, 5, 3’, 5’ - Tetraiodothyronine
_______ is the T3 hormone?
3,5,3’- triiodothyronine
T3 provides all thyroid hormone activity in
target cells
_______ converts T4 to T3
5’-deiodinase enzyme
alternative product of T4 (inactive form of T3)
Reverse T3
when is reverse T3 produced?
when less thyroid hormone action needed
Thyroid gland structure: single layered circular follicles comprised of _______ surrounded by a basement membrane
Cuboidal endocrine cells
Thyroid gland structure: Lumen of follicle contains _______?
Colloid material
Colloid material is newly synthesized, stored hormones which are attached to _______?
thyroglobulin
under stimulation, colloidal thyroid hormones are absorbed into?
follicular cells
Parafollicular cells (C cells) secrete _______?
Calcitonin
how is iodine supplied for thyroid synthesis?
by the diet
Synthesis of hormones is partially
intracellular and extracellular
Where are hormones stored?
Extracellularly in follicular lumen until stimulated to secrete
T4 is _______ but T3 is biologically active
hormone secreted
Step 1 in thyroid synthesis: Need to synthesize protein molecule called?
Thyroglobulin
_______ is needed to synthesize thyroglobulin
tyrosine
where is thyroglobulin synthesized?
on rough ER and golgi of follicular cells and put into follicular lumen
Step 2 in synthesis of thyroid hormones: Iodide transported from blood into follicular epithelial cells via?
2 Na/ 1 I symporter
Iodide transported from blood into follicular epithelial cells via 2 Na/ 1 I symporter and the activity is regulated by?
iodine levels in diet ( Decrease in levels stimulate)
step 3 of thyroid synthesis: Iodide (I) transported across apical membrane into colloid follicle via _______ and oxidized to iodine
Pendrin
step 3 of thyroid synthesis: Iodide (I) transported across apical membrane into colloid follicle via pendrin and oxidized to iodine via?
thyroid peroxidase
step 4 of thyroid synthesis: Iodide incorporated into tyrosines at specific sites in
thyroglobulin via thyroid peroxidase
step 5 of thyroid synthesis: coupling reaction results in?
MIT (monoiodotyrosine) and DIT (diiodotyrosine)
step 5 of thyroid synthesis: MIT and DIT remain attached to thyroglobulin until?
stimulus for secretion
