Term
Paracrine
Neurocrine
Endocrine
Definition
Paracrine- comm. cells that are close
Neurocrine- neuron comm., special kind of paracrine
Endocrine-long distance cell comm.
Term
Protein/peptide/catecholamines are lipophobic. So...
Definition
-Can't pass through membrane
-Must bind to receptor on outside and activate second messenger
Term
cAMP secondary messenger system:
Definition
-Adenylate cyclase catalyzes formation of cAMP from ATP
-cAMP activates PKA
-PKA phosphorylates proteins
-uses Gs and Gi
Term
PLC,DAG,IP3
Definition
-uses Gq
-Gq->PLC->IP3->Ca that binds to proteins
-Gq->DAG->DAG->phosphorylation
Term
Hydrophobic hormones work by:
Definition
Stimulating transcription
Term
Sympathetic Nervous System
Definition
-Come from Thoracic and Lumbar
-Short pre, long post ganglionic neurons
-Ach for pre and adrenergic for post
Term
Parasympathetic Nervous System
Definition
-Comes from midbrain,pons, medualla, Sacrum
-Long pre and short post ganglionic neuron
-Ach at both(nicotinic at pre and muscarinic at post)
Term
Sympathetic adrenergic receptors
Definition
-Alpha 1-usually excitatory, Gq
-Alpha 2- usually inhibitory, Gi
-Beta 1-usually excitatory, Gs
-Beta 2- usually inhibitory,Gs
-Norepi for alpha, epi for both
Term
Blood vessels do not have what innervation?
Definition
Parasympathetic
Term
Targets and their Receptors
Definition
-Pupil-alpha q
-Heart atrium/ventricle-Beta 1
-Blood vessels-Alpha 1
-Bronchioles-Beta 2
Term
Baroreceptors and Chemoreflexes
Definition
-Baro-blood pressure/heart rate
-Chemo- cardiovascular/pulmonary
Term
Adrenal Medulla
Definition
-Cells that secrete catecholamines are called Chromaffin cells
-80% epi, 20% norepi
Term
How does sympathetic stimuli affect the adrenal medulla?
Definition
-Causes adrenal medulla to increase secretion of catecholamines
-Results in a longer lasting effect
Term
Epi affect on beta receptors
Definition
-Increase glycogenolysis:glycogen to glucose
-Converts lactate to glucose(gluconegenesis)
Term
3 Types of Hormones
Definition

Protein/peptide- made of AA hydrophilic

AA derivatives- come from tyrosine -Thyroid-hydrophobic -Catecholamines-Hydrophilic

Steroid-hydrophobic

Term
Adrenocorticotropic ACTH
Definition
-Ant Pit
-Causes adrenal cortex to release glucocorticoids
-Maintains growth of adrenal cortex
Term
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone(TSH)
Definition
-Ant Pit
-Glycoprotein
Term
Follicle Stimulating Hormone(FSH)
Definition
-Ant Pit
-Glycoprotein
-Female: developes ovum, ovary->estrogen
-Male: spermatic maturation, testes to secrete inhibib
Term
Luteinizing Hormone(LH)
Definition
-Ant Pit
-Glycoprotein
-Female- maturation of ovum, maintains corpus luteum
-Male- testes-> testosterone
Term
Growth Hormone(GH)
Definition
-Ant Pit
-Secreted from somatotropes
-Stimulates liver to secrete IGF-1
-Directly increases metabolism,
-Stimulated by stress
Term
Ant Pit and Hypothalamus relationship
Definition
Ant Pit gets its blood from hypothalamus, from long portal vessels
Term
Neurosecretory Neurons
Definition
release inhibitory neurons into blood in a pulsatile pattern
Term
CRH
TRH
GnRH
GH
PIH
Definition
CRH-ACTH
TRH-TSH
GnRH-both LH and FSH
GRH(somatostatin)-GH
PRH-dopamine that inhibits prolactin
Term
Hyperprolactinemia
Definition
-Caused by dopamine antagonists, adenomas of ant pit
-Results in amenorrhea(no menstrual cycle), galactorrhea(too much milk)
Term
Vasopressin
Definition
-V1 receptors for vascular muscle
-V2 receptors for kidney
-Stimulated by increase in Osm and decrease in blood volume
Term
Thyroid Abnormalities
Definition
Hyper: inc metabolism/heart rate(Graves)
Hypo: dec. metabolism/heart rate
Hypo is cretinism in children
Term
Adrenal Cortex Zones
Definition
-Glomerulosa-mineralcorticoids,aldosterone
-Fasciculata-Glucocorticoids, Cortisol
-Reticularis- Androgens, DHEA,
-Zona F&R regulated by ACTH
Term
Cortisol
Definition
-Glucocorticoid
-Increases gluconeogenesis in liver
-Required to respond to stress
Term
Aldosterone
Definition
-Increases Na reabsorption and decreases K reabsorption
-Regulated by angiotensin II
Term
Hyperaldosteroneism
Definition
-Called Conn's Syndrome
-hypernatremia, hypervolemia, hypertension, hypokalemia
-Usually caused by aldosterone secreting tumors
Term
Addison's Disease
Definition
-Cortisol & aldosterone are decreased
-Weight loss, can't deal w/stresss, high ACTH causes hyperpigmentation
Term
Cushing's Syndrome
Definition
-Excess cortisol
-Fat torso, skinny arms and legs
Term
PTH
Definition
Increases Ca reabsorbtion
Increases Phosphate excretion
Increases alpha-hydroxylase which actives vitamin D
Term
Vitamin D
Definition
Effects the small intestine where Ca and phosphate absorption is increased
Term
Calcitonin
Definition
decreases both blood Ca and phosphate
Term
Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Primary Hypoparathyroidism
Definition
-hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia
-hypoCa,hyperPhos, low Ca leads to unwanted tetany
Term
Vitamin D Deficiency
Definition
-Hypocalcemia leads to increase of PTH
-Bone demineralizaion results
Term
Factors that decrease gastric emptying
Definition
-Distension of duodenum, inc. sympathetic outflow of stomach
-Low pH of duodenal releases secretin which slows antral contractions and tightens pyloric sphincter
-Fatty acids in duodenum releases CCK which slows gastric emptying
Term
H/K Pump in the parietal cells
Definition
H+ released when parietal cells stimulated by: Histamine, Ach, Gastrin
H+ inhibited by: somatostatin, prostaglandins
Term
Histamine blocked by:
Ach blocked by:
Gastrin inhibited by:
Definition
-H2 Blocker
-Atropine
-pH lower than 3, secretin & GIP
-Note atropin won't block gastrin
Term
Secretin regualtes:
Definition
-Secretion of bicarbonate by the pancreas.
Term
Digestion of starches
Definition
All are broken down into single sugar units like galactose, glucose and fructose
Term
Protein absorption
Definition
-Don't have to be single AA, can be di and tri peptides
-Once absorbed, they are broken down into single AA
