Lecture: endocrine Flashcards
glucagon function
increases blood glucose
glucagon target
liver (glycogen storage), adipose
insulin function
decrease blood glucose
insulin target
most cells, liver (glycogen storage), adipose
insulin and glucagon interaction
antagonism
process of making new glucose molecules
glycoNEOgenesis
process of lypolysis
breaking triglycerides into glyceride and 3 free fatty acids
FFA is useful fuel
metabolic process of breaking apart
catalysis
metabolic process of creating
anabolism
which process is triggered when GH arrives at the liver
lipolysis
glycogen
glucose+glucose stored in liver (savings)
process of creating glycogen
glycogenesis
process of breaking glycogen apart
glycogeNOlysis
what happens when the process of glycogenolysis occurs
blood glucose increases
what is the antagonist to calcitonin
parathyroid hormone (PTH)
calcitonin decreases blood calcium, PTH increases
what is the functional role of thyroid hormone
permissiveness IN ALL SYSTEMS
what does TH do?
Increase basal metabolic rate
what does increasing basal metabolic rate do?
increases upregulation/more Na-K pumps to burn more ATP into usable energy and heat
