  2. Estrogens
  3. Progesterone

21
Q

What gland does the duodenum contain

A

Brunner’s gland = endocrine gland

22
Q

Hormone secreted by brunner’s gland

A
  1. Secretin hormone signals to pancreas
  2. Coordinates digestion
23
Q

In what categories are hormone seperated into according to range effect+ give definition and example

A

-Local hormone = specific local effect on specific tissue
1. Secretin= secreted from duodenum, transport in pancreas, cause pancreas secretion for digestion
2. Cholecystokinin:release small intestin, transported gallbladder and pancreas , cause gallbladder contraction + secretion digestive enzyme
3. Adrenocorticotropin: from ant. Pituitary, stimulate adrenal cortex to secet adrenocorical hormone
- general hormone = effect many parts body
1. Epinephrine + norepinephrine : secreted by adrenal medulla, cause constriction blood vessel + inc. arterial pressure
2. Growth hormone: from ant. Pituitary, cause growth
3. Thyroid hormone: from thyroid, inc. chemical reaction rate in all body cell

24
Q

Classification hormone base chemical structue

A
  1. Steroid
  2. Protein
  3. Tyrosin
25
From what is streroid base hormone build from
Cholesterol
26
Give 3 example of gland and their hormone that are based from cholesterol
1. Adrenal cortex turn cholesterol into cortisol + aldosterone 2. Placenta + ovaries turn choleterol into estrogen 3. Testes can make testosterone out of cholesterol
27
Give characteristic of cholesterol ( where is their receptor found and why)
Receptor for steroid found within cell cytoplasm/ nucleus because steroid tend cross plasma membrane because cholesterol is hydrophobic/ lipophilic = hates water/ loves fat
28
General pathway mechanism action of steroid hormone
1. Hormone enter cytoplasm + binds receptor 2. Diffuse/ transport into nucleus 3. binds + activate DNA strands 4. Initiate transcription gene to form RNA messenger 5. RNA goes into cytoplasm = promote function inside cell
29
From what does the tyrosine-base hormone built from and what can it create + give example
Amino acid can make protein Thyroid gland : turn tyrosine into T4 + T3 Adrenal medulla: turn tyrosine into epinephrine + norepinephrine’s
30
Difference between formation T3/T4 and epinephrine/norepinephrine
Thyroid add iodine to tyrosine= hydrophobic/lipophilic Adrenal add hydroxylate to tyrosine = hydrophilic/ lipophobic
31
What is the mechanism of action for the thyroid hormone
1.Thyroid hormone bind receptor in cell nucleus= activate DNA 2. Initiate transcription gene for RNA messenger 3. RNA goes into cytoplasm through nuclear pore 4.new protein are formed = become controller to promote metabolic activities in cell body
32
What is the mechanism of action for epinephrine and norepinephrine
1. Bind receptor cell membrane = conformational change of protein structure of receptor 2. Open/ close channel ion 3. Change cell membrane potential = excitation/ inhibition
33
Of what is the protein base hormone made of
1. Long chain amino acid Less than 20 amino acid = peptide
34
Give 4 example of hormone classified as protein and where they are release from
1. Ant. Pituitary hormone = ant. Pituitary 2. Post. Pituitary hormone = … 3. Insulin + glucagon = islet langerhans 4. Parathormone = parathyroid
35
Where are the receptor of hormone classified as protein and why
Receptor found surface of membrane because they are hydrophilic/ lipophobic
36
What is the mechanism of hormone classified as protein
1. Bind receptor membrane = structure receptor change 2. Receptor activate enzyme ( adenyl cyclase = activate formation cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) 3. Second messenger activates cascade enzyme = power effect on cell
37
Whatbis a second messenger
Cell signaling pathway that communicate between receptor on surface cell with inside cell
38
Give 3 example of second messenger
1. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAmp) 2. Ca2+ + calmodulin 3. iP3 + diacylglycerol
39
How does cAMP work as a second messenger
1. Hormone binds to receptor = activate enzyme adenyl cyclase 2.activate formation cAMP = activate cascae enzyme
40
How does Ca2+ and calmodulin works as second messenger
1. Hormone binds receptor = open ions Ca2+ 2. Ca2+ diffuse in cell + bind calmoduline 3. Activateion calmodulin cause effect on cell
41
Give a concrete example in which Ca2+ and calmodulin is used
Smooth muscle contraction
42
How is IP3 and diacylglycerol as a second messenger
1. Hormone bind receptor = activate enzyme phospholipase C attach inside receptor 2. Cause phospholipids in cell to split into small substance such as inositol triphosphate + diacylglycerol
43
Name a technique use to measure the quantity of hormone in blood
Radioimmunoassay (RIA) Spectrometry
44
How does RIA works
In kit hormone from fluid sample compete with antibody to reach binding site = concentration hormone Amount hormone bound with antibody is measure measure by radioactivity Higher % bound radioactivity = lower concentration natural hormone to be measured
45
How is the hormone level are controlled in body
Homeostasis mean its at a steady state and it can be adjusted down and up as needed - direct negative feedback : hormone inhibit its own secretion when reach high enough level -indirect negative feedback : effect of hormone inhibit hormone secretion -direct positive feedback : hormone accumulate in blood and goes back in gland to promote secetion -indirect positive feedback: hormone accumulate in blood= stimulate tissu the gland produce effect which promote secretion hormone
46
How can receptor be regulated
- number receptor varies throughout the day - can be activated or deactivated by altering second messenger - can be destroyed - can be created by synthesis
