Amino Acid based hormones

Water soluble, g-linked pathway to cell

Steroid hormones (and thyroid)

Lipid soluble, diffuse across membrane

G-linked pathway through membrane

Hormone binds


GTP activated


Enzyme (adenylate cyclase) activated


Enzyme converts ATP to cAMP


cAMP activated kinases


Kinases phosphorylate


Humoral stimuli for endocrine glands

Changing blood chemistry

Diabetes Insipidus

Hyposecretion of ADH due to damage of hypothalamus or posterior pituitary

Syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH)

Hypersecretion of ADH, characterized by fluid retention and headaches

Posterior pituitary

Smaller, neural tissue, stores & secretes (oxytocin, ADH)

Anterior pituitary

Larger, glandular tissue, makes hormones (GH, TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH, PRL)

Tropic hormones

TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH

TH Synthesis

1. Thyroglobulin is synthesized & discharged into follicle lumen


2. Iodide is trapped


3. Iodide is oxydized to iodine


4. Iodine is attached to tyrosine


5. Iodinated tyrosine are linked to form T3 & T4


6. Thyroglobulin colloid is endocytosed and combined with lysosome


7. Lysosome enzymes cleave T3 & T4 from Thyroglobulin and hormones diffuse into the blood stream

PTH hormone result

Stimulates osteoclasts to digest bone and release Ca, enhances absorption of Ca, promotes activation of Vit D by kidneys which increases absorption of Ca by intestines

Zona glomerulosa hormone

Aldosterone (mineralocorticoids)

Zona fasciculata hormone

Cortisol (glucocorticoids)

Zona reticularis hormone

Androgens (gonadocorticoids)

Normal volume blood glucose

90mg/100ml

Cardiac tamponade

Excess fluid leak into pericardial space, compresses heart's ability to pump

Angina pectoris

Thoracic pain caused by fleeting deficiency in blood delivery to myocardium (weakened cells)

AP of contractile heart muscle

1. At -90mV: Depolarization by fast voltage - gated Na channels cause Na influx


2. Also opens slow Ca channels (at +30mV Na close) and slowly close to form plateau


3. After 200ms Ca close and voltage - gated K open and K efflux occurs to repolarize the cell

Junction rhythm

AV node is in charge 40-60bpm

P wave

Depolarization of SA node

QRS complex

Atrial repolarization and ventricular Depolarization

T wave

Ventricular repolarization

Junctional rhythm EKG

No P waves

Normal CO

5.25 L/min

Cardiac Reserve

Difference between resting CO and maximal CO; higher for athletes

Preload
