General
This structure determines what cells will respond to a particular hormone in circulation…
What are the receptors for a particular hormone?
This hormone is released by the pancreas between meals to raise blood glucose by stimulating the breakdown of glycogen.
What is glugacon?
Activating this branch of your autonomic nervous system is crucial for a rapid stress response.
What is the sympathetic nervous system?
These hormones bind to extracellular receptors specific to them…
What are amine or peptide hormones? (will accept hydrophilic or water-soluble hormones)
This hormone promotes skeletal muscle and the liver to store energy via glycogen and fatty acid synthesis.
What is insulin?
This is an example of an increased physiological response that happens when an animal perceives a threat (bear!) (hint, there are at least four)
What is increased heart rate, blood flow to skeletal muscles, glucose mobilization, and water retention?
This class of hormones binds to its receptor in the cytoplasm or nucleus of the cell…
What are steroid or cholesterol-derived hormones (hydrophobic)
This process keeps circulating glucose at homeostatic, or healthy, levels.
What is negative feedback?
This is an example of a decreased physiological response that happens when an animal perceives a threat
(ANOTHER BEAR?!)
What is decreased digestion, growth, immune response, and blood flow to non-essential organs (ie the GI tract)?
This structure sits at the base of the forebrain, receives information from the nervous system, and initiates our endocrine system’s response…
What is the hypothalamus?
The liver responds to Epinephrine by releasing the energy monomer _____ from the energy chain
______.
What are glucose and glycogen?
This gland sits atop the kidney and releases the primary hormones that govern the stress response
What is the adrenal gland?
This phenomenon occurs when a system's end product feeds back into the system and amplifies the process…
What is positive feedback?
This organ secretes glucagon and insulin and is key in regulating circulating energy levels.
What is the pancreas? <3
The hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), which acts on the ___________ and causes the release of ___________.
What is the anterior pituitary and Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)?
