Lecture & Vodcast 1 -- Exam 5 Flashcards
The ______________ is responsible for processing the body’s sensory input like light and temperature
hypothalamus
The ______________ in the brain recognizes stress
hypothalamus
The pituitary sits on the ___________ bone
sphenoid
What tissue type is the anterior pituitary made of?
oral epithelium
What tissue type is the posterior pituitary made of?
neural tissue
What connects the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland?
hypothalamus stalk
What is the first symptoms of a pituitary tumor vision issues?
optical chiasm is being compressed by tumor
___________ signaling is when signal molecule travels to act far from where it was made
endocrine
_____________ signaling is when signal molecules acts on neighboring cells
paracrine
_____________ signaling is when signal molecules act on the cell that secreted it
autocrine
_______________ signaling is when signal molecules produced in CNS act somewhere else in to body
neuro-endocrine
What are 2 examples of peptide/protein hormones?
growth hormone (GH)
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
_______________ hormones are synthesized as pre-hormones, stored in secretory vesicles, and are released when intracellular Ca2+ rises
Peptide/protein
____________ hormones are derived from tyrosine
Amine
What are 2 examples of amine hormones?
epi/norepinepherine (EPI/NOREPI)
thyroid hormone (TH)
___________ hormones are derived from cholesterol
steroid
What are 2 examples of steroid hormones?
cortisol
testosterone
____________ hormones are synthesized in cytoplasm and mitochondria and not stored long term
steroid
_________ hormones are not synthesized as pre-hormones and are not stored long term
amine
Increased concentration of ______ causes release of peptide/protein hormones
Ca2+
What are the 3 types of G-coupled protein receptors peptide/protein hormones use?
Gs
Gq
Gi
What hormone type can freely pass through cell membranes via passive diffusion?
steroid hormones
What hormone is transported in blood bound to proteins because they have a short half life?
steroid hormones
What hormone interacts with intracellular receptors and doesn’t have cell membrane receptors?
steroid hormones
What hormone acts as a gene inducer or supressor?
steroid hormones
What are the 2 negative feedback mechanisms used to regulate hormone secretion?
- physiological regualted
- hypothalamic regulated
How can hormone secretion be physiologically regulated?
The physiological effect of the hormone (glucagon raising BG) causes release of a compound which enters blood and can tell endocrine glands to turn off secretion
Hypothalamic regulation of hormone secretion has a _______ loop and _______ loop
long loop
short loop
How can hormone secretion be hypothalamiclly regulated?
hormone can act on the target organ but also loop back and effect glands/organs back upstream to cut them off
____________ ___________ from the hypothalamus tells the pituitary gland to release hormones
release hormones (RH)
What is the role of hypothalamohypophyseal portal vessels?
blood vessels that deliver release hormones to ANTERIOR pituitary
What is the role of the median eminence?
location where releasing hormones enter the blood stream (hypothalmic stalk)
What are the 5 hormones the anterior pituitary releases?
prolactin (PRL)
thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
LH & FSH
ACTH
growth hormone (GH)
Why are hypothalamic releasing hormones secreted in pulses?
to make sure a new membrane receptor is always present
What is the second messenger pathway of Gs receptors?
- activate adenylyl cyclase
- cAMP
- PKA
- rise in intracellular calcium
- release hormone
What is the second messenger pathway of Gq receptors?
- PLC
- IP3
- rise in intracellular calcium and PKC
- release hormone
