TEST 3 LEC Flashcards
endocrine system cell type
endocrine cells
endocrine system chemical messengers
hormones
describe the effects in the endocrine system
- slow
- long term comm
hormone
affects the activities of other cells
do hormones effect all cells
no only cells with the receptor for that hormone are affected
does your big toe see that hormone in the blood stream?
yes, but it does not respond to it
amino acid based hormones
- love water, hate lipids
where do amino acid based hormones bind
to protein receptors on cell surface
lipid derivative hormones
love lipids, hate water
where do lipid derivative hormones bind
to a receptor inside the cell
how does the hypothalamus control hormones
through the anterior pituitary gland, posterior pituitary gland, and adrenal glands
what nicknamed master gland
pituitary gland
what are the 2 functional lobes in the the pituitary gland
- anterior pituitary
2. posterior pituitary
what kind of hormones does the hypothalamus secrete
regulatory hormones
prevent anterior pituitary from releasing hormones
inhibiting hormones
function of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
stimulate thyroid gland to release hormones
function of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
Stimulates adrenal cortex to release hormones
what path does adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) take
- adrenal gland
- adrenal gland cortex
- release hormones
what is special about follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH)
sex hormones
function of luteinizing hormone
regulate production of reproductive cells and sex hormones
function of growth hormone (GH)
- stimulates cells to grow and divide
- increases glucose and fatty acid levels
function of prolactin (PRL)
- stimulates mammary gland development
- milk production
function of antidiuretic hormone
control blood volume/blood pressure
function of oxytocin (OXT)
stimulates contractions and milk production
what 2 hormones does the thyroid gland release
thyroid hormones and calcitonin
function of calcitonin
removes Calcium from blood stream and puts it into bone
what does the parathyroid gland secrete
Parathyroid hormone
function of parathyroid hormone
removes calcium from bone and puts it into blood stream
where is the adrenal gland located
on top of each kidney
what does the adrenal medulla secrete
epinephrine and norepinephrine
what is the hormone in the outer zone of the adrenal cortex
aldosterone
what is the hormone in the middle zone of the adrenal cortex
cortisol
what is the hormone in the inner zone of the adrenal cortex
sex hormones
pancreas exocrine function
secretes enzymes that help with digestion
pancreas endocrine function
secretes hormones for glucose balance
when blood glucose is low what does the endocrine pancreas produce
alpha cells
when blood glucose is high what does the endocrine pancreas produce
beta cells
what does the pineal gland releases
melatonin
the pump that generates pressure
heart
tubing that blood flows through
blood vessels
the fluid that is flowing through the system
blood
what are the functions of blood
- transport
- regulation
- defends
- restricts
is blood a connective tissue
yes
what is blood matrix called
plasma
what does plasma mostly consist of
water
formed elements
cells and cell fragments
what is blood directly from the body called
whole blood
what is the ph of blood roughly
7.4
blood parts Percentages
- 55% plasma
- 45% formed elements
% of red blood cells (name)
hematocrit
what are the 4 plasma proteins
- albumins
- globulins
- fibrinogen
- enzymes and hormones
what is a red blood cell’s main job
to carry oxygen
what shape do red blood cells have
biconcave
what are the advantages to red blood cells having a biconcave shape
- surface area
- allows cells to stack on top of each other
- bend and flex
what is in red blood cells
Hemoglobin
each hemoglobin has 4 chains that include what
each one of these chains has 1 iron molecule and can carry 1 molecule of oxygen
molecules on the surface of the cell
antigens
immune proteins in your plasma
Antibodies
if clumping occurs when trying to find out blood type what does that mean
that’s your blood type
what antigens determine blood type
A, B, Rh
if you have the Rh antigen…
positive blood type
what are the 2 types of white blood cells
- granular leukocyte
2. agranular leukocyte
what do granular leukocytes look like
dotted with dark granules
what is the suffix of granular leukocytes
Phils
what do agranular leukocytes look like
light granules or no granules at all
what is the suffix of agranular leukocytes
cyte
what is the most common leukocyte
neutrophils
% of neutrophils
60%
% of lymphocytes
30%
