pre-final anaphy reviewer (endo) Flashcards
“endo”
“krine”
within
to secrete
allows cells to communicate with each other to regulate body acts
chemical messenger
produced by a specific collection of cells or by glands
chemical messenger
secreted by cells in the local area
autocrine
it acts locally in nearby cells. secreted by one cell type in the extracellular fluid and affects the surrounding cells.
paracrine
secreted by neuron to activate an adjacent cell. travels short distances.
neurotransmitter
secreted into the bloodstream by certain glands and cells.
endocrine
4 classes of chemical messenger
autocrine
paracrine
neurotransmitter
endocrine
10 functions of endocrine system
metabolism
control of food intake ad digestion
tissue development
ion regulation
water balance
heart rate and blood pressure changes
control of blood glucose and other nutrients
control reproductive functions
uterine contractions and milk release
immune system function
secretes endocrine cells called “hormones” into the bloodstream.
endocrine glands
differences of ES and NS (6)
- NS uses electrical impulses -ES uses chemical signals
- NS is rapid - ES is slow
- electrical impulses travels - ES chemical messenger travels
- NS consists of spinal cord n brain - ES consists of glands
- NS control both voluntary n involuntary - ES involuntary
- NS activates its target quickly - ES longer-lasting effects
similarities of NS n ES (2)
both reacts to a stimuli
both helps maintain homeostasis
both sends n receives messages
hypothalamus is linked
difference of endocrine nd exocrine
endo-within exo-going out
endo-xducts exo-with ducts
“hormon”
set into motion
hormones must remain active in the circulation long enough to arrive at their target cells
stability
lifespan of a given hormone
half-life-TRH=water soluble
long-life-cortisol=lipid soluble
can reach target cells within 2 mins
half life
can reach target cells more than an hour
long life
hormones must be able to interact to the target cells
communication
hormones require chaperone to arrive safely to the target
distribution
protects smaller hormones
bounding hormones\binding proteins/chaperone
3 characteristics of hormone
stability
communication
distribution
chemical nature of hormones
water soluble
lipid soluble
can dissolve easily in the blood and circulates as free hormones.
water-soluble
can transport to the blood with the help of binding proteins
lipid soluble
refers to the control of hormonal release in response to changes. ex. release of insulin
humoral stimuli
“bodily fluid”
humor
hormone secretion in response to action potentials in neuron. occuring during stress activity
neural stimuli
release of a hormone in response to other hormone
hormonal stimuli
Allows secretion of other hormones
tropic hormones
inhibits secretion of other hormones
inhibiting hormones
inhibits secretion of other hormones
inhibiting hormones
