Unit 3: Chapter 5 Flashcards
Objective Questions?
Localized regulatory factors lead to _____ responses.
physiologic
(cells, tissues, organs)
What are the roles of hormones?
Chemical messengers
What is endocrinology?
The study of hormones and their effects on the body.
Hormone production is affected by exercise and other stressors.
Endocrine systems hormones are most responsible for homeostatic maintenance and following__.
exercise
What is exercise?
Structured repetitive movement
What are some physiologic processes hormones control? How is it achieved?
The regulation of macronutrient fuel stores
“Fight or flight” response
The adaptive response to exercise and maturation
Achieved through cell signaling
Neuroendocrinology
The study of the physiology of the control systems
Studies the roles of nervous and endocrine systems
The ____ system and ___ system encompass the two major homeostatic systems in the control and regulation of various functions: ______
Nervous; endocrine
Functions:
—Body temp
—Metabolic regulation
—Cardiovascular
—Renal
—etec
What is the neuroendocrine response?
Both systems (nervous and endocrine) sense physiologic stressors, organize a response, and deliver messages to organs or tissues.
How do the systems differ in the message delivery?
Endocrine system—Hormones—(Slow)
Nervous System—Neurotransmitters (Fast)
What are the classes of Hormones?
Amino Acid derivates
peptides
proteins
steroids
(Through blood)
Blood hormone concentration:
Effect a hormone exerts on a tissue—A proportional to: ___ & ______
Hormone concentration in the plasma and;
the number of active receptors
Plsama Concentration depends on:
1) the hormone secretion rate
2) The rate of hormonal metabolism or exercising
3) Transport protein quantity (for lipid-based hormones)
4) Changes in the plasma volume
Control of hormone secretion:
Rate of secretion of hormone from endocrine ……….
What are two Factors that influence the secretion of hormones from the endocrine gland?
- Magnitude of input
- Stimulatory versus inhibitory input
Rate of metabolism or exertion of hormone:
Is it active or Inactivate near receptor?
Where is it metabolized from?
Inactive;
Liver + Kidneys
Quantity of transport proteins
What do steroid hormones and thyroxine bind to?
Bind to plasma proteins.
Changes in plasma volume are ___ proportional to changes in the hormone concentration.
inversely
What 3 factors affect blood hormone concentration?
- Capacity. (maximal quantity for a hormone to bind to transport protein)
- Affinity (the chemical tendency for a hormone to bind to transport protein)
- Increased Capacity and increases affinity. (reduced amount of free hormones
What can hormones affect?
Hormones only affect tissues that contain specific hormone receptors.
What is downregulation
Receptor # decreases when hormone levels are elevated.
What is up-regulation
Increase in receptor # when there are low lvls of hormones.
What are the actions of hormones?
- Activation of genes (DNA), AKA PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
- Activating second messengers through G protein
(Ex. Cyclic AMP).
(G protein links hormone receptors from in and
outside of the cell) - Altering membrane transport.
(Carrier molecules) (INSLUIN)
What Do the hypothalamus, Anterior Pituitary Gland, and Posterior Gland do and secrete?
- Hypothamalus
—Controls secretion - Anterior Pituitary Gland
—All of them
—ACTH. (Adrenocorticotropic hormone)
—FSH. (Follicle-stimulating hormone)
—LH (Luteinizing hormone)
—MSH. (Melanocyte-stimulating hormone)
—TSH (Thyroid-stimulating hormone)
—GH (growth hormone) - Posterior Pituitary Gland
—Oxytocin
—(ADH) antidiuretic hormone
…………
What is oxytocin?
What stimulates growth hormones?
Hypertrophy training—Stress training
(Alt. Restriction of blood flow)
What is Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)?
What is another name?
What does it do?
What stimulates ADH?
aka, vasopressin
Reduces water loss from the body to maintain plasma volume
Exercise Stimulates it
What are thyroid hormones?
Calcitonin
Lowers Calcium
Blocks Ca++ release from bone, decreases osteoclast activity,
stimulates excretion by kidneys lowers plasma Ca++
AP Triiodothyronine (T3 ) and thyroxine (T4
