Name the 3 types of hormones.
Peptide hormones
Steroid hormones
Tyrosine derivatives
Peptide hormones
Proteins: not diffusible through membrane, must bind to membrane bound receptor.
They are water soluble.
Steroid hormones
lipid soluble, diffuses thru membrane and acts on nucleus
Tyrosine derivatives
Thyroid: act on nucleus
Catecholamines: receptor
Does a person have high blood glucose have high levels of insulin or high levels of glucagon?
Insulin because of negative feedback. Insulin decreases glucose levels.
What type of hormones does cortex produce?
Steroids.
What type of hormones does the thyroid produce?
Tyrosine deriv. - T3, T4
Peptide - Calcitonin
What type of hormones does the medulla produce?
Catecholamines.
Name 6 major Anterior Pituitary hormones.
All are peptides:
hGH
ACTH
TSH
FSH
LH
prolactin
hGH : Human growth hormone
increases mitosis, cell size, protein synthesis, mobilize fat stores, increase use of fatty acids, decrease use of glucose.
ACTH: adrenocorticotropic hormone
peptide, ant. pit.
stimulates adrenal cortex to release glucocorticoids vis 2nd messenger system using cAMP. Release stimulated by stress.
TSH: Thyroid-stimulating hormone
peptide, ant. pit.
Stimulates thyroid to release T3, T4 via 2nd messenger system. using cAMP.
Increases thyroid cell size, number, rate of secretion of T3 and T4, which in turn decreases TSH prod. in ant. pit. and hyp.
FSH, LH
peptides, ant. pit.
reproduction hormones
Prolactin
peptide, ant. pit.
lactation
usually inhibited
suckling -> hyp. -> ant. pit. -> prolactin release & inhibits menstruation
Name 2 Posterior Pituitary hormones.
Oxytocin
ADH
Both are small peptides produced in the hypothalamus and transported down axons to the post. pit. where they are released into the blood.
Oxytocin
peptide, post. pit.
increases uterine contractions
causes milk ejection
ADH: Antidiuretic hormone/Vasopressin
causes collectecting ducts of the kidney to become permeable to water - reduces and concentrates urine.
increases BP
Coffee and beer block ADH
Adrenal Cortex
Aldosterone (mineral corticoid)
Cortisol (glucocorticoid)
Adrenal Medulla
Catecholamines:
Epinephrine, Norepinephrine
Aldosterone
mineral corticoid
Na+ reabsorption
K+ secretion
in collecting tubule of kidney
then increase in BP
