Target organ –
“Affector organ”, the organ with receptor sites for the specific hormone
Thyroid is right below ____
larynx
Gigantism –
Too much growth hormone, results in a huge person
Acromegaly –
Too much growth hormone, results in huge jaw, hands, and feet
Dwarfism –
Too little growth hormone
Posterior pituitary gland –
Stores ADH, and oxytocin
Anterior pituitary gland –
Communicates with the hypothalamus through the hypothalamic-hypophyseal portal system
- Antidiuretic hormone (P)
– Targets kidneys – Cause water retention – deficiency: diabetes insepidis
Oxytocin (P) –
Targets reproductive organs – Stimulates milk letdown, labor contraction, and orgasm
- Growth hormone (A) –
Targets bones and muscles – Causes cell growth, repair – Excess: gigantism, acromegaly, and dwarfism.
- Prolactin (A) –
Targets mammary glands – produces milk
- Follicle stimulating hormone (PSH) (A) –
Targets testes and ovaries – Prompts release of testosterone, progesterone, and testosterone. Regulates ovarian and uterine cycle. Secondary sex characteristics
- Luteinizing Hormone - l
Targets testes and ovaries – Prompts release of testosterone, progesterone, and testosterone. Regulates ovarian and uterine cycle. Secondary sex characteristics
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)(A)
– Targets thyroid – Prompts release of Thyroxin and increases rate of cell activity
- Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (A) –
Targets adrenal cortex. Prompts release of aldosterone, cortisol, and testosterone. Raises blood sugar and pressure.
- Melanocyte stimulating hormone (A) –
Targets melanin – stimulates production of melanin
Pituitary gland releases TSH which targets the thyroid gland ->Pituitary gland produces..
thyroxin (T3 or T4). Iodine required
Goiter –
Enlarged thyroid. Caused by a deficiency of iodine. Thyroid makes lots of thyroglobulin but cannot make active T3 or T4.
Four primary effects of thyroxin:
1) Increases basal metabolic rate of all body cells (ups cellular use of O2 to make ATP). 2) Increases heart rate and blood pressure. 3) Increased erythropoiesis. 4) Enhances the affect of growth hormone.
Thyroxin deficiet disorders –
Hypothyroid, myxedema (adult), and cretinism (infant)
Thyroxin excess disorder –
Graves disease hyperthyroid
Thyroid is very red because it is ________
highly vascular
_________ compose the thyroid gland
thyroid follicles
The follicle lumen in the thyroid gland is filled with viscous _______
colloid
Parafollicular cells secrete ________ which is involved in regulating calcium
calcitonin
The two types of thyroid hormone:
T3 and T4 (thyroxin)
Thyroid hormone is maintained by ________-________ hormone from the pituitary
thyroid stimulating
Thyroglobulin –
Made of tyrosin amino acids and later iodine
________ enters the lumen and is converted into iodine
iodide
Symptoms of Hypothyroidism
Cold (basal metabolic rate)
Lethargic
Overweight
Pale
Low blood pressure
Low HR
Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism
Hot
Restless
Thin
Flushed
High blood pressure
High HR
Cholesterol is base, modified by adrenal cortex to make
steroid hormones
Band cell –
immature neutrophil may be a sign of infection.
Cortex –
Outer portion of adrenal gland
Medulla –
inner portion of adrenal gland
Cushings syndrome –
Too much ACTH. Symptoms include hyperglycemia (too much cortisol), buffalo hump (redistribution of fat), moon shaped face, and high blood pressure
Addison’s disease –
Too little ACTH. JFK had this. Symptoms include low bp (not enough aldosterone), hypoglycemia (not enough cortisol), difficulty dealing with stress, and tan-ness.
Adrenal Cortex produces –
aldosterone, cortisol, and androgen
Aldosterone –
Targets kidneys – causes kidneys to retain salt, regulates sodium and potassium – Increases blood pressure
Cortisol –
Targets most cells – ups blood sugar, fatty acids redistributed to waist, decreases inflammation
Androgen –
Aggression, build muscle
Adrenal medulla –
Stimulated by sympathetic nervous system. Makes epinephrine, norepinephrine.
Corticosteriods –
25 steroid hormones synthesized by the cortex.
Mineralocorticords –
a group of hormones produced by the zona glomerulosa (adrenal) that regulates electrolyte concentration.
Glucocorticoids –
Adrenal hormones that stimulate metabolism of lipids and proteins, helps regulate glucose, and decreases inflammation. The two most common glucocorticoids are cortisol and corticosterone
Adrenal sex hormones –
androgens and estrogen
Number of parathyroid glands –
Normally 4, sometimes 2-6 though.
Low blood _________ levels stimulates the release of parathyroid hormones
calcium
PTH raises blood calcium levels through:
stimulating bone decomposition, increases reabsorption of calcium from kidneys, increases absorption of calcium from small intestines
Adrenal “stress” glands –
Releases catecholamine and adrenaline (epinephrine), noperephrine. Enables fight or flight
Pancreas –
Releases acetone, cortisol, insulin (lowers blood sugar)
Ovaries –
Estrogen and progesterone
Testes –
Testosterone
Parathyroid glands –
Releases parathyroid hormone (PTH) which increases blood calcium by stimulating osteclasts to breakdown bones
-one –
Steroid hormone
Erythrocytes produced..
in the bone
Hematopoietic stem cell –
Can differentiate into red blood cells or any of the 5 types of wbcs, or platelets.
Red blood cells -
have a unique donut structure, making them extremely flexible.
Sickle cell anemia –
is caused by inflexible rbcs. Results in painful strokes when rbc get stuck in capillaries
Diapedesis –
A white blood cells ability to squeeze between endothelial cells
Positive chemotaxis –
A white blood cell’s ability to follow a trail of chemicals that are given off by pathogens and sick cells.
Lacks a nucleus –
Although it has one when it’s developing to make hemoglobin. RBCs contain 250 mill hb molecules. Hb binds to oxygen. Hb requires iron (heme group). Hb is red
Albumin –
Plasma protein in blood. Contributes to osmotic pressure
Anemia –
“no blood”
Potential causes of anemia
Iron deficiency, problem with Hb, fragile blood cells, decreased erythropoiesis, blood loss
Erythropoiten –
Thyroxin, testosterone, decreased blood volume, and decreased oxygen in blood stimulates kidney to release erythropoeitin which stimulates the bone marrow to produce RBCs
Hemostasis – “Blood hold”. Blood clotting.
1.Endothelial cells (simple squamus epithelial) are stimulates to “spasm”
- Minimizes blood loss
2. Platelet will become activated and sticky, forming a mass.
- Stops blood loss until an actual clot can form
3. Coagulation: Fibrin forms a net across the wound remains until the wound has healed. (3-6 mins for the whole thing)
About 30 different enzymes involved in clotting. One activated after another (positive feedback). Last few steps:
- Clotting factor X attracts prothrombin activator.
- Prothrombin activator changes prothrobin to thrombin
- Thrombin stimulates fibrinogen to became fibrin
Lysis of clot
- Heparin
Neutrophils –
Phagocytic, most common, granules kill pathogens with bleach and peroxide. Multiplobed nucleus
Eosinophils –
Only %2 of WBC. Granules can fight worms and some fungi, allergic response. Red granules.
Basophils –
Rarest (0-2%). Granules contain histamine and mediate inflammation and allergies. Purple staining granules.
Lymphocytes –
(20-40%) usually found in lymphoid tissue than circulating in the blood. T lymphocytes flag intruders, B lymphocytes make antibodies. Mediates immunity
Monocyte –
(4-8%) phagocytic, largest of WBCs. Once activated, become ravenous “machophages. Kupffer cells in liver, osteoclasts in bone, and alveolar macrophages in the lung.
