Cards

Term
Sends neural impulse over neurons to specif effector cells.

Causes contraction, secretion, conduction.

Quickly within a few milliseconds

Brief effect.
Definition
Nervous System
Term
Release chemicals called hormones into bloodstream.

Chemical messages go to all body cells.

Induce changes in metabolic activities of target organ.

Takes hours to initiate; but lasts longer.
Definition
Endocrine System
Term
5 Categories of Hormone Action
Definition
1. CONTROL internal environment by regulating its chemical composition and volume of body fluids.

2.RESPOND to changes in environmental conditions in body to aid in coping with emergency demands such as trauma, emotional stress, dehydration, infection.

3.INVOLVED in smooth/sequential integration of growth and development.

4. CONTRIBUTE to coordination of reproductive process.

5. REGULATE organic metabolism and energy balance.
Term
Give an example of a hormone that controls internal environment by regulatiing its chemical composition and volume of body fluids.
Definition
INSULIN, ADH
Term
Give an example of a hormone that responds to changes in the environmental conditions in body to aid in coping with emergency demands such as trauma, emotional stress, dehydration, infection.
Definition
Adrenalin, cortisol, ADH
Term
Give an example of a hormone INVOLVED in smooth/sequential integration of growth and development.
Definition
Growth Hormone, Estrogen, Testosterone, Thyroid Hormone
Term
Give an example of a hormone that CONTRIBUTES to coordination of reproductive process.
Definition
FSH, LH,ESTROGEN, TESTOSTERONE, PROGESTERONE, OXYTOCIN, HCG, PROLACTIN
Term
Give an example of a hormone that regulates organic metabolism and energy balance.
Definition
Thyroid hormone, cortisol, insulin, glucagon
Term
Secrete product into space around secretory cells--> adjacent capillaries--> blood circulatoin--> target cells
Definition
Endocrine Glands
Term
secretes into ducts of ECF--> target area

Examples: mucous, sebaceous, sudoriferous, digestive
Definition
Exocrine Glands
Term
List the endocrine glands in a hierachal flow chart beginning with the hypothalamus.
Definition
Hypothalamus--> Anterior Pituitary --> Thyroid gland.

Figure 16.7 on page 605
Term
increase body growth esp. skeleton and skeletal muscles by increasing protein synthesis, fat metabolism, and glucose conservation
Definition
HGH
Term
What is the Origin and Target of HGH?
Definition
Anterior Pituitary

Bones and Skeletal Muscles
Term
What is the Origin and Target of TSH?
Definition
Anterior Pituitary

Thyroid Gland
Term
stimulates normal development and secretory activity of the thyroid gland
Definition
TSH
Term
Origin and Target of ACTH
Definition
Anterior Pituitary

Adrenal Cortex
Term
The origin and Target of T3 and T4
Definition
Thyroid

Virtually every cell in the body except those in the brain, testes, uterus, and thyroid
Term
stimulates enzymes concerned with glucose oxidation thereby increasing metabolic rate, oxygen consumption, and body heat; also plays an important role in maintain blood pressure, also important in regulating tissue growth and development
Definition
Thyroid
Term
What is the origin and target of Calcitonin?
Definition
Thyroid

Bones
Term
inhibits osteoclast activity and stimulates the uptake of calcium into the bone matrix
Definition
Calcitonin
Term
What is the origin and Target of PTH?
Definition
Parathyroid

Bones, Kidneys, and Intestines
Term
increases calcium levels in blood by increasing osteoclast action, enhancing reabsorption of calcium in the kidneys, excretion of phosphates from kidneys, absorption of calcium by intestinal mucosal cells
Definition
PTH
Term
What is the origin and target of Cortisol?
Definition
Adrenal Cortex

Total body target
Term
provokes formation of glucose from noncarbohydrate molecules such as fats and proteins
Definition
Adrenal cortex
Term
What is the origin and target of epienephrine/Norepinephrine?
Definition
Adrenal Medulla

total body target
Term
enhance "fight or flight" response and help resist stress
Definition
Epinephrine/Norepinephrine
Term
What is the origin and Target of Glucagon
Definition
Pancreas

Liver and skeletal muscles
Term
increases blood glucose levels by breaking down glycogen
Definition
glucagon
Term
Lowers blood glucose levels by depositing glycogen into liver and muscle cells
Definition
Insulin
Term
Origin and Target of Insulin
Definition
Pancreas

Liver and skeletal Muscles
Term
2 Things that are Protein/Water-Soluble
Definition
Amines and Pepetides and Proteins
Term
Example of Amine Water Soluble Protein
Definition
Thyroxin of the thyroid, epinephine and norepineprine of the medulla
Term
Example of Steroids
Definition
Aldosterone of the adrenals, cortisol of the adrenals, androgens of the testes
Term
Effect of hormone often restricted to a target tissue whose cells possess receptor molecules for the hormone; HORMONE RECEPTOR SPECIFICITY
Definition
Principal 1 of hormone action
Term
Some hormones have GENERAL ACTION and affect nearly all body cells.
Definition
Principal 2 of Hormone Action
Term
Hormones do not usually initiate new processes but rather they ACT TO INCREASE OR DECREASE THE SPEED OF A CELLULAR PROCESS.
Definition
Principal 3 of Hormone Action
