Functions of hormones
reproduction, growth and development, maintenance of electrolyte, water, and nutrient balance of blood, regulation of cellular metabolism and energy balance, mobilization of body defenses.
lipid soluble hormones derived from cholesterol
gonadal and adrencoritcal
what is the major difference in the action of water soluble hormone versus a lipid soluble hormone
water soluble cannot enter cell, act on plasma membrane receptors and g protein messengers. Lipid soluble can enter cell, act on intracellular receptors that directly activate genes.
what controls the anterior pituitary gland
hypothalamus
which anterior pituitary hormone stimulates growth
gh
which anterior pituitary hormone stimulate milk production
prolactin
which anterior pituitary hormone stimulates cortisol
acth
which anterior pituitary hormone stimulate sex cell production
fsh
which hormones does the posterior pituitary secrete
oxytocin and adh
parathyroid hormone is the major regulator of which ions in the blood
CA2+
which blood glucose lowering hormone is produced in the pancreatic islet cells
insulin
which hormone promotes metabolic rate
TH
which hormone is stimulate be decreases in blood glucose
glucagon
which hormone combination is part of the body's long term response to stress
ACTH and CRH
the normal ph range for blood is
7.35-7.45
what are the components of blood
erythrocytes, buffy coat, plasma
which plasma proteins play a role in disease resistance
immunoglobins
the process by which formed elements of the blood develop is called
hematopoiesis
a megakaryoblast will develop into a
megakaryocyte
a red blood cells function is
to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide
an immature red blood cell is called a
reticulocyte
what are the phagocytes
neutrophil and monocyte
what is involved in stopping blood loss
platelets
what is involved in hypersensitivity reactions
basophils
what is involved in immune response
lympocyte
what are the ductless glands
endocrine glands
what do the kidneys secrete
erythropoietin and renin
what are autocrines
glands that act on the same cell that secreted them
eicosanoids have
leukotriens and prostaglandins
most hormone regulation is
negative feedback
what is the link between nervous and endocrine system
endocrine systems acts with the nervous system to coordinate and integrate activity of body cells
another name of posterior pituitary
neurohypophis
anterior pituitary hormones that act on other endocrine systems are called
tropic hormones
another name for adh is
vasopressin
an increase in vasopressin will most likely
increase blood pressure
parafollicular cells produce
calcitonin
increase calcitriol secretion will
increase absorption of calcium
aldosterone is secreted by the
adrenal cortex
