Q

Ghrelin

A 
orexigenic hormone (hunger related)
stomach is major source of ghrelin in blood. can be entrained by regular feeding schedule. can act on brain and locally to stimulate gastric acid release. stimulates pit GH secretion which in turn inhibits ghrelin release

Q

Leptin

Q

Neural signalling

A

stimulate > neuron > target (pain reflex)

39
Q

Endocrine signalling

A

stimulate > endocrine cell > blood stream > target (PTH for calcium regulation in blood)

40
Q

Cytocrine signalling

A

stimulate > endocrine cell > Extra Cellular Fluid > target (histamine)

41
Q

First order Neuroendocrine signalling

A

Stimulate > neuron > bloodstream > target (oxytocin - mammary glands)

42
Q

Second order Neuroendocrine signalling

A

stimulate > neuron > endocrine cell > bloodstream > target

GnRH - seasonal reproduction

43
Q

Inverse Neuroendocrine signalling

A

stimulate > endocrine cells > bloodstream > cross blood brain barrier > neurons (target)
(gonodal steroids)

44
Q

Example of endocrine controlling endocrine

A

hypothalamus releases TRH to pituitary, which releases TSH to thyroid

45
Q

Example of endocrine controlling exocrine

A

G cell releases gastrin into blood stream, which then acts on chief cell to increase pepsinogen production into stomach

46
Q

Example of exocrine controlling endocrine

A

chief cell releasing pepsinogen into the stomach, which turns to pepsin, which breaks down protein to amino acid that can activate the G cell to produce gastrin into the blood stream

47
Q

Example of endocrine controlling cytocrine

A

G cell producing Gastrin into the blood stream, which goes to the mast cell, which releases histamine

48
Q

cytocrine control of exocrine

A

Histamine released from Mast cell, which goes to pareital cell which releases acid (cytocrine key is that it goes to extracellular fluid)

49
Q

Q

cytocrine control of exocrine

paracrine

A
