Lecture One Flashcards
What are the four methods of hormone delivery
Endocrine Neuro endocrine Paracrine Neurocrine Autocrine
How does endocrine signaling work
Hormone secretion into blood by endocrine gland to distant target cell
Paracrine signaling
Secretory cell signals adjacent target cell. Extracellular signals to receptors
Autocrine signaling
Target sites on same cells, extracellular signal to multiple receptors
Signaling by plasma membrane attached proteins
Signaling cell to adjacent cell via receptor and membrane attached signal
Endocrine postulates (5)
Gland must produce internal secretion
Methods of detecting internal secretion must be available
Extracts must be produced from which a purified hormone can be obtained
The pure hormone must be isolated, its structure determined and its synthesis achieved
Hormone acts on specific target cells such that excess or deficiency results in a specific phenotype
Pituitary anterior lobe hormones
Luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, prolactin, growth hormone, adrenocorticotropin, beta lipotropin, beta endorphin, thyroid stimulating hormone
Pituitary intermediate lobe
Melanocyte stimulating hormone, beta endorphin
Pituitary posterior lobe
Vasopressin or anti diuretic hormone, oxytocin
Thyroid
