Signaling and Hormone Class
The chemical messengers of the endocrine system
FLAT PIG stands for this
What is FSH, LH, ACTH, TSH, Prolactin, and GH
This gland hangs by a stalk from the hypothalamus
What is the pituitary gland?
Type 1 diabetes lack this, which make them insulin-dependent
What are insulin secreting B(beta) cells?
This is a peptide hormone secreted by neurosecretory neurons and aids in metamorphosis
What is PTTH?
This signaling class does not travel in the blood and allows cells of organs to regulate each other
What are paracrine regulators?
This is the precursor to T3, and is converted in the liver
What is thyroxine?
This organ secrets T4, T3, and calcitonin
What is the thyroid gland?
Type 2 diabetic patients are not dependent on insulin because the reason they have this condition is due to a very low number of this
What are insulin receptors?
This is a terpenoid secreted by the corpora allata
What is juvenile hormone?
These are the four classes of signaling molecules
What are amines, steroids, peptides, and fatty acids?
This hormone stimulates the uptake of calcium into bones, which lowers blood Ca2+ levels
What is calcitonin?
The adrenal glands are stimulated via this aspect/part of the body
What is the sympathetic nervous system?
This endocrine disorder results in excess cortisol
What is Cushing Disease?
This occurs when JH concentration is low
This class of hormones is based on tyrosine
Parathyroid glands produce PTH, which has this effect on the blood
What is raise the blood Ca2+ levels?
Within the pancreas, insulin and glucagon are secreted. These types of cells within islets are what secrete them.
What are alpha and beta cells?
This endocrine disorder results in insufficient levels of cortisol
What is Addison's Disease?
When the JH levels are high, this occurs to the larva
This class of hormone combines with hydrophilic carrier proteins to form water-soluble complexes that diffuse through the ECF and enter the bloodstream
What are steroid hormones?
The generic term for reproductive organs, and these are the two organs.
What are gonads; ovaries and testes?
In vertebrates, androgens produce this
What is testosterone and its derivatives?
High levels of androgens in a women may result in this.
What is PCOS?
The size of a crustacean's body determines if MIH is secreted. Depending if MIH is secreted, this next hormone is secreted and determines if molting occurs.
What is ecdysone?
