Autocrine
|
Affects the cell that released the hormone
|
|
Paracrine
|
Affects target cells near the release site
|
|
Circulating Hormone
|
Diffuses into the blood stream and can activate target cells far from the release site
|
|
Peptide Hormones
|
Water Soluble Only
ADH(Aquaporins) Oxytocin Insulin |
|
Steroid Hormones
|
Fat Soluble Only, and must be transported by a carrier protein in the blood.
Testosterone Estrogen |
|
Amine Hormones
|
Water and Fat Soluble
Adrenaline, Epinephrine |
|
Hormone Receptors
|
Water Soluble Hormones: Receptors on the outside of the cell
Fat Soluble Hormones: Receptors on the inside of the cell |
|
Posterior Pituitary Gland
|
Stores and secretes ADH and Oxytocin, which is made in the hypothalamus. It is controlled by the hypothalamus
|
|
Anterior Pituitary Gland
|
Synthesizes multiple hormones.Tropic and non tropic hormones
|
|
Tropic Hormones
|
Control other endocrine glands
|
|
Non-Tropic Hormones
|
Directly affect target cells
|
|
Digestion Hormones
|
Gastrin: Causes the stomach to move and release secretions
Secretin: pancreas releases bicarbonate ion solution Cholecystokinin: Gall bladder releases bile |
|
Islets of Langerhans
|
Beta Cells: Produce Insulin, uptake glucose and store as glycogen
Alpha Cells: Produce Glucagon, liver breaks down glycogen to glucose for use. Delta Cells: Produce Somatostatin, slows digestive activity. |
|
Adrenal Glands
|
Medulla (inside)-Epinepherine for short term exertion
Cortex (outside)-Glucocorticords-long term stress (increases salt and water storage, raises blood sugar and pressure) |
