20
Q

TRH is a hormone from the hypothalamus that stimulates the Anterior’s release of

A

TSH, which stimulates the release of thyroid hormones

21
Q

GHRH is a hormone from the hypothalamus that stimulates the Pituitary’s release of

A

GH, which goes to the long bones and muscles

22
Q

What happens when PIF is not released from the hypthothalamus?

A

The posterior pituitary is signaled to release prolactin

23
Q

FLAT hormones of the anterior pituitary are

24
Q

Tropic hormones are ones which

A

Stimulate other glands

25
PEG hormones are
Direct hormones
26
Hormone concentration in the blood is controlled via
Metabolism and excretion
27
The liver metabolizes the hormones and turn them into
Bile
28
Hormones can be removed by which organs?
- Liver | - Kidney
29
What are the three types of hormones?
- Proteins + polypeptides - Steroids - Tyrosine Derivatives
30
Proteins + polypeptide hormones are made of
Amino Acids
31
Most of the hormones in the body are
Proteins + polypeptides
32
Proteins + polypeptide hormones are made in the
Rough ER
33
Proteins + polypeptide hormones are
Typically charged
34
Proteins + polypeptide hormones function to initiate the
Cascade effect with secondary messengers in the inside of the cell
35
Insulin is an example of a
Polypeptide hormone
36
Steroid hormones are made of
Lipids / cholesterol
37
Steroid hormones consist of
Ring structures
38
Steroid hormones have receptors found in
- Cytoplasm | - Nucleus
39
Steroid hormones are able to function by
Affecting transcription and translation
40
Cortisol and sex hormones are examples of
Steroid hormones
41
Tyrosine Derivative hormones act like
Polypeptides or steroids
42
T3 and T4 are derivative hormones that act as
Steroids
43
Catecholamines are derivative hormones that act as
Polypeptide hormones by binding to outside of cells
44
Secondary Messengers consist of a
Hormone binding to receptors on the cell
45
Primary Messengers consist of
Steroids and Thyroid Hormones
46
In primary messengers, the hormone does all the work by
Binding to receptor, directly affecting central dogma
