Endocrine: Target Cells and Glands - 11.3 and 11.4 Flashcards
Target Cells of Thyroid hormones:
Most of the body’s cells
Target Cells of Insulin:
Liver, adipose tissue, and muscle cells
Target Cells of Glucagon:
Liver
Target Cells of Aldosterone:
Tubule cells found in the kidney
Target Cells of Cortisol:
Liver, adipose tissue, and muscle cells
Target Cells of Growth Hormone:
Children – epiphyseal disks (growth plates)
Target Cells of Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH):
The thyroid cells that make thyroid hormones.
Target Cells of Adrenocorticotropic hormone:
Adrenal gland cells that produce cortisol.
Name the three (3) Target Cells of Parathyroid hormone:
- intestinal cells that absorb calcium
- bone cells that release calcium (osteoclasts)
- kidney cells that regulate how much calcium is put into urine or retained in the body.
Target Cells of Antidiurectic hormone (ADH):
Tubule cells found in the kidney
Target Cells of norepinephrine, epinephrine:
Same cells as the sympathetic nervous system. We learn heart, lungs and digestive system.
The best way to learn the target cells is to learn the _________________ of the hormone.
