Chemical signals
What are the 3 types of chemical signaling
Autocrine Paracrine Endocrine
What are the three amino based hormones talk about structure
Amines, peptides, and proteins. One builds off the other amine to protein
What are the three mechanisms of hormone release
Humoral, Neural, Hormonal
What gland controls the sleep cycle by releasing melatonin when its dark
Pineal gland
What are the hormones of the pancreas
Insulin, Glucagon, somatostatin, pancreatic polypeptide
What is the function of an autocrine gland
Chemicals act on the same cells that secrete them
What is the name of the nonpolar hormons
Steroids
What is the functions of the humoral mechanism
Detects calcium levels within the blood stream
What are the three glands in the brain
Hypothalamus, pituitary gland, pineal gland
What are the hormones of the gonads (Male and female)
Estrogen, Progesterone, testosterone, Human Chorinoric, Gonadotropin
What is the function of the paracrine gland
Secretes chemicals that act on neighboring cells but not the same cell that secreted it. Same tissue
If a type or hormone is polar, what group of hormone is it and where does it synapes
Amino acid base hormone and will synapse on the extracellular receptor
What is the fucntion of the hormonal mechanism
One hormone triggers another hormone to be released
What gland has aldosterone, cortisol, epinephrine and norepinepherine
What are the hormones of the anterior pituitary
Growth Hormone, Prolactin, Thyroid-stimulating hormone, adrenal-corticotropic hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone
What is the function of an endocrine gland
Long distance chemical signal usually in the form of the blood stream or lymphatic system
What is the structure of a protein hormone
long chain of linked amino acids
What is the stimulus in a humoral mechanism
Low levels of calcium in the blood stream. The result is that PTH is activated to increase calcium levels in the blood
Wha gland has oxytocin and antidiuretic
Posterior pituitary
What if the function of the growth hormone
bone growth at epiphyseal plates
What type of chemical signal is the hypothalamus secreting hormones to the anterior pituitary gland that will secrete TSH to the thyroid
Paracrine
What is the result or a nerual mechanism
Adrenal medulla secrets epinephrine and norepinephrine
What are the two layers of the adrenal gland, and what hormone is found inside each layer
Medulla: epinephrine and norepinephrine
cortex: Cortisol, aldosterone, androgens
how does calcitonon and PTH work together
Regulating calcium levels in the body. Calcitonin removes calcium, and PTH brings in more calcium
