29
Q

main functions of gonads

A

2
produce gametes
produce reproductive hormones

30
Q

Pathway of hormones binding to receptor

A

hormones are produced from the endocrine cells and circulate in the blood capillaries and binds to the hormone receptor of a specific target cell.

31
Q

pathway of hormone example:

Testosterone released by _____ travels to _____ and then ____ to ______ of ______ called ____

A 
endocrine cells 
capillaries 
binds
the receptor (androgen receptor)
the specific target cell
32
Q

receptors are found __

A

attached/on the target cell

33
Q

gonadrotophins

A

FSH (follicle stimulating hormone)

LH (leutinising hormone)

34
Q

primarily female hormone

A

progesterone

35
Q

___ produced by female adipose tissue

___ produced by male adipose tissue

A

androgens

oestrogen

36
Q

water-soluble hormones circulate in the ___ and bind to ___

A

blood

surface cell receptors

37
Q

___ soluble hormones have to be attached to a ___ in order to be ____ ( a ____ percentage of ____ is free which ___ into ____). The hormone _____ to ___

A 
lipid
transport protein
transported around in the blood
small
lipid soluble hormones
diffuse
cells
doesn't bind to surface receptors as the receptors are located inside the cell
38
Q

how do steroid hormones work? overview and be specific

A

They change gene expression of

The lipid soluble hormones will be transported through the blood streamed attached to key transport molecules (proteins) to allow them to be dissolved in the blood and not cause any problems with things such as coagulation. A small percentage of the lipid soluble hormones in the blood are free floating. The hormones bind do not bind to cell-surface receptors as the receptors are found inside the cytoplasm or nucleus of the cell.

enter cell> bind to receptor > change gene expression

39
Q

slow/fast? the process of lipid soluble hormones changing the gene expression why?

A

slow (hours-months) to have effect eg. menstrual cycle

slow= no phosphorylation cascade

40
Q

____ ____ or ___ will make a person infertile

A

removing the hypothalamus or pituitary gland

41
Q

regular nerves vs neurosecretory nerves

A

regular nerves:
conduct nerve impulse, releasing neurotransmitters

conduct nerve impulse, synthesise, carry and release neurosecretory peptide hormones

42
Q

A

hormones??
cell bodies (hypothalamus)
bound to carrier proteins down the axon terminals
stored

44
Q

A

??
pass through
anterior pituitary

45
Q

_____ travel along the ____ to ___ of the ____.

A

nerve impulses
axon
trigger exocytosis
secretory vesicles, releasing the peptide hormones into the arteries below which will carry out its function.
