|
Allostatic Regulation
|
system alters range of function and set point in reponse to new conditions
|
|
|
Bioassay
|
use suitable target affect of a hormone to quantify the hormone
|
|
|
Endocrine vs. Exocrine
|
Endo-ductless; secrete internally and use the general circulation for transport; highly vascularized and fenestrated
Exo-use ducts to discharge their secretion onto the body surface or elsewhere |
|
|
Hormone
|
substance secreted by an endocrine gland into the blood, through which the hormone affects various tissues and organs
|
|
|
Parabiotic experiment
|
used to prove that a hormone is tranpsorted via blood; circulate blood from normal to treated animal and back and monitor whether the deficient animal returns to normal
|
|
|
Acromegaly
|
prolonged, continuing bone growth with metabolic abnormalities due to excess growth hormone
|
|
|
Tropic hormones
|
stimulating hormones that direct the secretion of a product from another endocrine gland; inclueds ACTH, TSH, FSH, and LH (all exhibit long loop feedback)
|
|
|
Adiposogenital syndrome
|
decreased hormone levels produced from basophils (TSH, FSH, and LH)
|
|
|
Competence Test
|
a test to determine if a person is capable of producing a hormone; usually a stimulant is administered to determine if the hormone levels rise as a consequence
|
|
|
Long loop feedback
|
3 levels of regulation: hypothalamus, pituitary, and endocrine gland; includes ACTH, TSH, FSH, and LH
|
|
|
Short loop feedback
|
2 levels of regulation: hypothalamus, pituitary; includes PRL
|
|
|
Ultrashort loop feedback
|
1 level of regulation: hypothalamus; releasing hormones regulate the release of themselves;
|
|
|
Diabetes insipidus
|
diuresis and watery urine because of decreased water reabsorption within the kidneys due to a lack of ADH
|
