[HORMONES] what is hormone?
|
physiology communications
|
|
There are variaties of Hormones? name some
|
*steroid -- derived from cholesterol
*protein hormones or peptide *Amines -- amno acid *Prostaglandins-- dervied from fatty acid |
|
Hormone are produce from the _____
|
Endocrine glands
|
|
Decribes the pathway of how hormone produce a specific celluar response
|
H-----> HR-----> Cellular response
H binds to receptor proteins (sensors) produced by the target cell---> there's a molecular change---> receptor becomes activated and interact w/ other cellular components----> cellular response |
|
Hormone response is seletive. What does all the hormones have in common?
|
They bind to recptor cause a change and induce the response in a cell
|
|
When hormone goes to the blood it is called an _____ pathway
|
endocrine
|
|
What is the Paracrine pathway?
|
Sometimes neighboring cells produce hormone that does not go through the blood that also bind to receptors and mediate change to response
|
|
what is the Autocrine pathway
|
Cell can make thier own hormone
ex: Cancer cell can make thier own hormone. |
|
Selectivity/specificity of hormone respnse is due to: (4)
|
1. Hormone type
2. Presence of receptor in targets 3. Hormone receptor Affinity 4. receptor interaction w/ cell components (causing changes in modification) |
|
What is the key role of Hormone?
|
Control Homeostasis-- "steady state" condition
**this means that there is a dynamic set of conditions--- that you respond to changes in the environment |
|
How do hormone control homeostasis?
|
*negative and postive feedback system
|
|
What is negative feedback?
|
change in variable triggers mechanism that reverses the change
**The variable is maintained w/in a physiologically appropriate range. |
|
Give an example of when there's a negative feedback.
|
when there are too many hormones affecting the tissue--> there's a negative feedback, telling it to stop. And when Hormone is low hormone incr. again.
|
|
what is positive feedback?
|
change in variable that triggers biological mechanisms that amplify rather than reverse the change
|
|
Stress-- does the flight or fight response have a negative pathway?
|
no
|
|
Short term Stress doesn't go through blood stream instead it goes to the _____
|
hypothalmus
|
|
Give the pathway of shortterm/acute stress
What feedback system is it? |
stress---> Hypothalmus ---> nerve cord---> spinal cord----> Adrenal gland-----> convert tyrosin to Epinephrine (hormone)---> immediate effect create metabolic increase (alertness and energy)
*no real feedback system |
|
Give the pathway of long term stress.
Is it positive or negative feedbacvk? Where does it inhibits if its a negative feedback? |
stress---> hypothamus---> release CRF (corticotrophine Releasing factor) hormone (found in the blood)----> bind to Anterior pituitary gland (target cell)---> release ACTH (adrenal corticotrophic Hormone)---> binds to receptor in adrenal gland----> changes convert cholesterol to glucocorticoids---> produce anti-inflamatory immune effects.
**Negative feedback when too much glucocorticoids is produced. It goes back to the Hypothalmus and anterior pituatory gland (telling it to stop making CRF and ACTH). |
|
is contraction during labor a negative or pos feedback
|
positive feedback
*release oxytocin hormones |
|
What is Hormone Agonists?
|
binds receptor and induces a response
H--> R--> HR---> response |
|
Hormone antagonist
|
binds to receptor w/ no resulting response, instead inhibits actions of agonist.
|
|
Steroid Hormone: name some of them we learned in lecture (5)
|
1. Glucocorticoids
2. Mineralcorticoid 3. Progestines 4. Androgens 5. Estrogens |
|
Give the steroid hormone signal transduction pathway
|
STEROIDS goes inot the plasma membrane ---> binds to (steriod) receptors---> receptors activated---> then bind to a promoter gene (target gene)---> interacts w/ transcription factor---> changes level of transcription (up or down)
**promoter gene has a specific binding site---> this site is nex to a transcription factors |
|
What are the three classic steroid receptor function domain?
|
1. Steroid binding
2. DNA binding 3. Protein binding **if you have a defect in any of these domain you can have a physiology disorder |
|
steroid hormone are secreted by
|
adrenal cortex
ovaries testes placenta |
|
What are some Anterior Pituitary Hormones we learned in class?
|
**Growth hormones
**follicle--stimulating hormnes **Prolactin |
|
what is prolactin?
|
promotes development of the breast and secretion of milk
|
|
[posterior pituitary hormones] give some examples
|
**Antidiuretic hormone
**oxytocin |
|
antidiuretci hormone
|
causes the kidneys to retain water, hus incr. water content of the body
|
|
oxytocin
|
contracts the uterus during the birthing process
|
|
[adrenal cortex] give example
|
Cortisol
|
|
Cortisol
|
has multiple metabolic functions for control of the metabolism of proteins, carb, and fats
|
|
[Ovaries] hormones in ovaries
|
estrogens
progesterone |
|
estrogen
|
stimulate the development of the female sex organs, the breasts, and various secondary sexual characteristics
|
|
progesterone
|
stimulates secretion of "uterine milk"
|
|
[Testes] what are the hormones produce here
|
testosterone
|
|
testosterone
|
stimulates growth of the male sex organs
|
|
[Placenta] hormone produces here
|
estrogens
progesterone |
|
Mechanism of Protien Hormone or Cell surface receptors (they are steroids and have similar pathway). Give the pathway:
|
**Cell surface
protein hormone binds to receptor in the extracellular domain---> goes through the transmembrane domain (PM)----> intracellular domain---> changes occur---> response |
|
When the protein hormone binds to receptor you can have two changes, what are they?
|
1. Receptor dimer/cluster (e.g insulin)
or 2. changes in receptor-- protein interaction |
|
The signalings events of receptors change can be
|
*Receptors phosphorlation
*Receptors protein interaction *Enzyme activated, 2ndary messenger, lipid, ect. |
