Things I struggle with Part 2 Flashcards
(741 cards)
what two anterior pituitary hormones are derivatives of POMC
ACTH and MSH
what are the anterior pit hormones with the same alpha subunit
TSH, LH, FSH, hCG
what does the beta subunit of a hormone determine
it determines the hormone specificity
what hormone is secreted from the intermediate lobe of the pit
MSH
what is the anterior pit derived from
rathkes pouch which is oral ectoderm
what is the posterior pit derived from
neuroectoderm
what are the alpha cells, beta cells, and delta cells of the pancreas and where are they located within the pancreatic buds
alpha- glucagon- peripheral
beta- insulin- central
somatostatin- interspersed
what are the effects of glucagon
it does glycogenolysis, and gluconeogenesis, and lipolysis and ketone production
what regulated glucagon secretion and what suppresses it
it is secreted in response to hypoglycemia, and it is inhibited by insulin, hyperglycemia, and somatistatin
what is the antagonist of prolactin
dopamine
tesamorelin- what does it do
it increases GH and is used for AIDs lipodystrophy
what does increased prolactin decrease
GNRH so FSH AND LH
what does tonic GNRH do
it surpasses the HPG axis
what does pulsatile GnRH do
it leads to puberty and fertility
what are somatostatin analogs used to treat
GI bleeding and acromegaly
what does TRH increase
prolactin and TSH
prolactin function
increases milk production and stops ovulation by decreasing the GnRH production
what can first or second degree hypothyroidism do to prolactin
it can increase prolactin because of the increase in TRH
what does bromocriptine do to prolactin
it decreases the production because it increases the DA
what does antipsychotics and OCP and Pregnancy do to prolactin
it increases the prolactin because of the decrease of dopamine
what is the function of GH
it stimulates linear and bulky growth through the stimulation of production of IGF-1 by the liver
what can excess IGF1 lead to
it can cause gigantism but it leads to insulin resistance
when is there increased secretion of GH
exercise, deep sleep, puberty, and hypoglycemia
when is there decreased secretion of GH
from glucose of r somatostatin
