Term
what is the endocrine systems goal
Definition
to comminuicate internally, coordinating the activities of the organ system
Term
what secretes hormones
Definition
endocrine glands
Term
how do hormones move
Definition
throughout the circulitory system
Term
where are hormones secreted (12)
Definition
hypothalmus, pituarity glands (anterior and posterior), thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas, testes, ovaries, pineal, kidney, GI glands, heart, and thymus
Term
exocrines glands
Definition
glands like gall bladder and pancreas that secrete and move via DUCTS
Term
how are hormones specified
Definition
hormones are specified by where they END UP
Term
where are adrenal glands
Definition
on top of the kidney
Term
ACTH
Definition
produced by anterior pituratary but secreted by Adrenal Cortex which are for steriod hormones (corticosteriods-cholesterol)
Term
What is the hormones from the Adrenal Cortex vs Adrenal Medulla
Definition
Cortex secretes ACTH(produced by AP)   ,(Gluco/Mineral)octoids and corticol sex horomones        medulla-has only (non)epinephrine
Term
Glucocorticoids
Definition
aka cortisone or corticole rasie gluclose levels via proteins breakdown…also raises gluclose in plasma against insulin
Term
Mineralocorticoids
Definition
aka aldosterone regulate Na and K levels in plasma, rise reabsorption of Na, K, H20 in Nephron which leads to high blood pressure
Term
Cortical Sex Hormones
Definition
secretes andorgens that are overall male body hormones
Term
Epinephrine...from where?
Definition
from Adrenal Medulla: increases heart rate, contracts blood vessels, dilates air passages, and glyocgen to gluclose…also a neurotransmitter
Term
what are the parts of the pituartary gland
Definition
overall aka hypophysis….Anerior, Posterior, and Intermediate for humans
Term
what are the anterior pituarty hormones, which ones are direct vs tropic
Definition
A(nteiror) A FLAT PiG Mmmmm FSH,LH,ACTH,TSH, Prolactin,GH, MSH PiG is direct, all others are tropic
Term
GH
Definition
used for growth of bone and muscle
Term
acromegaly
Definition
a disorder: disproportionate growth of GH
Term
Prolactin
Definition
stimulates milk growth in female breasts
Term
ACTH
Definition
FROM AP TO ADRENAL CORTEX hormones (except for mineralcortoid, which is directly from Kidney's Adrenal Gland
Term
TSH
Definition
stimulates hormones from thyroid
Term
LH
Definition
Lutenizing Hormone: ovulation and for corpus leuteum AND stimulates testerone
Term
FSH
Definition
Follicle Stimulting hormone: stimulates growth of follicle AND stimulates semiferious tubules
Term
MSH
Definition
hormone from AP but unclear but makes frogs dark skin
Term
posterior pituartary
Definition
aka neurohypophysis only stores and release oxytocin and ADH
Term
oxytocin
Definition
stimulated by sucking, causes uterine wall to contract and milk release
Term
ADH
Definition
aka vasopressin, when plasma osmolarity increase at the nephron ADH causes water reabsorbtion thus increasing blood volume
Term
what is working with the pituratary glands
Definition
artery/vein for transport, the hypothalmus above the pituraty regulates regulates AP....hypothalmus synthesizes PP
Term
GnRH
Definition
GnRH is a hypothalmus hormone that inhibits/induces FSH/LH for sex drive
Term
how does the hypothalmus interact with the Posterior pituarity
Definition
transportation is done via axons
Term
thyroid hormones...how...where..what does it do?
Definition
derived from ionidation of tyrosine amino acid located at the trachea…which overall regulates body movements (+ means lots of movement)
Term
cretinism
Definition
a hypothyroidism to newborn that causes retardation
Term
Calcitonin...where?...what does it do?
Definition
from the thyroid gland, tones down the amount of Ca+ in bone
Term
PTH
Definition
Parathyroid glands increases Ca+
Term
how is the structure of pancreas like?
Definition
islets of langerhans are composed of two cells, alpha and beta…..alpha:secretes glucogen beta: secretes insulin
Term
glucogen
Definition
alpha islets: stimulates proteins and fat degradation, converts glycogen into gluclose …..all to INCREASE GLUCLOSE IN BLOOD
Term
insulin
Definition
beta islets: stimulates uptake ofgluclose into adipose tissues
Term
kidney hormones
Definition
hormone called renin-convert protein to pathways to make adrenal cortex secrete aldosterone (unique about Minderlocortoids)
Term
what are the GI hormones
Definition
Gastrin: grastic glands secrete HCl in stomach. . Secretin: SmInt secretes to make acidic food enter SmIn….cholecytokinin: the SmInt pulls fat from gal bladder and bile into SmInt
Term
Pineal gland
Definition
from part of brain secretes melatonin which is for primative vertebrates response to light-dark enviroments
Term
how is the peptide hormone structure like?
Definition
peptides: bind to receptors which converts ATP to cAMP, and cAMP(2nd mssngr) uses a cascade effect of enzyme activity
Term
how is the lipid hormone structure like?
Definition
lipid a derivative of steriods binds to the rececptor WITHIN the cell and thus leads to protein synthesis
