midterm physio deck 1 Flashcards
FSH negative feedback
has a set point from the hypothalamus when level falls –> hypothalamus released pituitary FSH which acts on ovaries to enhance steroid production –> back to set pointestrogen and progesterone give feedback to the hypothalamus and pituitary to inhibit FSH secretion
two amine hormones?
norepi and epi (catecholamines)
7 protein peptide hormones
prolactinADHadrenocorticotropinTRH (thyrotropin releasing hormone)inhibinsomatomedinschorionic gonadotropin (HCG)
ribosomal vs enzymatic hormone synthesis
ribosomal –> protein hormones; 1 large precursor –> posttranslational cleavagesenzymatic –> amine, iodothyronine and steroid hormones; direct synthesis
what hormones circulate free (not bound to carrier)?
protein and amine hormones
what hormones need to be bound to carriers in circulation?
iodothyronines and steroids (insoluble)
where are carrier proteins made?
liver
site of hormone action for1) protein and amine hormones2) iodothyronine and steroid hormones
1) cell surface (more receptors = more responsiveness)2) cytosol and nucleus
what kind of receptor does insulin and growth factors use?
tryosine kinase
cell surface g protein mechanism
amine or protein hormone binds –> conformational change –> GTP binds to regulatory protein –> activation of adenylate cyclase (ATP –> cAMP)
mechanism of cell surface receptor linked to phospholipase c
hormone binds –> enzyme PLC is activated by g protein and splits membrane PIP2 (phosphatdyl inositol 45 bisphosphate) into IP3 and DG (diacylglycerol)–DG activated protein kinase c (PKC) –> phosphorylates proteins–IP3 stimulates ca release from ER –> ca is a tertiary messenger for enzymes
steroid hormone mechanism
lipid soluble and dissolves through lipid bilayer –> binds to cytosol and nuclear intracellular receptors –> form dimers –> dimers go to nucleus and bind chromatin-promoter elements –> enaple expression or repression of that genesteroid hormones directly regulate transcription
thyroid hormone mechanism
act in nucleus to regulate DNA expressionthyroxine (T4) is the precursor for the active t3(triiodothyronine)t4 is activated to t3 by a deiodinase enzymet3 then diffuses into nucleus and binds chromatin receptors
pituitary divisions
adenohypophysis = anterior—-pars tuberalis, pars distalis(anterior), and pars intermedianeurohypophysis = posterior—-pars nervosa infundibulum = neural stalk
pituitary comes from 2 embryonic sources =at 11 weeks, ?
neural ectoderm and upward growth from oral cavityat 11 weeks it is cradled by the sphenoid in the sella turcica
hormones from the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary) =
FLAT PGFSHLHACTHTSHprolactinGH
three types of cells in the adenohypophysis
basophilsacidophils chromophobes
basophils secrete?
secrete FSH, LH, ACTH, TSH (FLAT)thyrotrophs –> TSHgonadotrophs –> FSH and LHcorticotrophs –> ACTH, B endorphin and B lipotrophin
acidophils secrete?
prolactin, GH and APGlactotrophs –> prolactinsomatotrophs –> GH
chromophobes
are degranulated, precursor, or apoptotic cells
does pituitary have a vascular system?
yes, capillaries are fenestrated with diaphragms
TRH
made by hypothalamus and works on thryotroph to make TSH –> thyroid hormones do negative feedback on thyrotrophs and hypothalamus neuroendocrine cells
dopamine vs prolactin
dopamine inhibits prolactin productionsucking and estrogen decrease dopamine release
intermediate lobe of pituitary releases…
MSH (appetite regulation)opioids (endorphin, dynorphin)POMC (pro-opiomelanocortin)
POMC
pro-opiomelanocortinthe precursor to ACTH, alpha-MSH, B-MSH, gamma MSH, and B endorphin
Pars nervosa and its products
posterior lobe (neurohypophysis)—major nuclei are above the gland and contain neurosecretory cells –> their projections enter the pars nervosaocytocin - contraction of SM ADH (vasopressin)
