Anterior Pituitary Hormones
"FLAGTOP" |
F: Follicle Stimulating Hormone
L: Luteinizing Hormone A: ACTH G: Growth Hormone T: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone O: MSH - melanOcyte stimulating hormone P: Prolactin |
|
|
|
FSH in males
|
directly stimulates spermatogenesis
sperm look like "FiSH" In females, FSH obviously stimulates ovarian follicles (which secrete estrogens, which stimulate endometrial proliferation) |
None
|
|
|
LH in males
|
stimulates androgen secretion
so males become "Like Hairy Apes" (LH ® A) Androgens also stimulate spermatogenesis, so LH also indirectly stimulates spermatogenesis In females, LH stimulates the corpus luteum (which secretes estrogens and progesterone, which stimulate the endometrium) |
None
|
|
|

IgM, IgA, IgD, IgG, IgE
|
None
|
|
|
Kingdoms
"My Poor Friend Picks Apples" |

None
|
|
|

"SEVEN UP" |
Seminiferous tubules Epididymis
Vas deferens Ejaculatory duct (Nothing) Urethra Penis |
None
|
|
|
Menstrual Cycle
"FOL(d) M(a)PS" |
Ovarian cycle:
Follicular phase Ovulatory phase Luteal phase Menstrual cycle: Menstrual flow Proliferative phase Secretory phase The ovarian cycle controls the menstrual cycle The cycles begin (day 0) when menstrual flow starts At day 14, the luteal and secretory phases begin and last until day 28, after which the cycles begin again |
None
|
|
|
"EXons EXpressed, INtrons IN the trash"
|
DNA expression into mature mRNA
|
|
|
|
"CUT the PY"
|
Cytosine, Uracil, and Thiamine are PYrimidines (one-ring structures)
|
|
|
|
"AGgies are PURe of heart"
|
Adenine and Guanine are PURines (two-ring structures)
|
|
|
|
"All Tigers Can Growl"
|
Adenine bonds to Thymine
|
|
|
|
Oxyhemoglobin Dissociation Curve
Think of an exercising muscle for a rightward shift: |
Exercising muscle is:
hot acidic (lactic acid)hypercarbic and has increased 2,3-DPG Exercising muscle benefits from increased oxygen unloading from red blood cells |
None
|
|
|
Proteases in the Duodenum
"Eat That Chick's Cunt Evenly" |
Enterokinase
Trypsin Chymotrypsin Carboxypeptidase Elastase Note: The first enzyme is produced by intestinal mucosal cells, while the others are produced in inactive precursor forms by the pancreas. Enterokinase converts trypsinogen into trypsin Trypsin converts other trypsinogen molecules into trypsin Trypsin converts chymotrypsinogen into chymotrypsin Trypsin converts procarboxypeptidase into carboxypeptidase Trypsin converts proelastase into elastase |
None
|
|
|
Inductive Reasoning
"IS GOHH" |
Induction: Specific ® General. Or, Observation ® Hypothesis ® Hypothesis-testing.
The inductive process proceeds from specific observations to a general hypothesis. |
None
|
|
|
Deductive Reasoning
"D(o)GS" |
Deduction: General Specific
The deductive process proceeds from a general hypothesis to predictions about specific observations |
None
|
|
|
Sedimentation
Rate of SeDimentation is proportional to Size and Density |
More precisely, terminal velocity of particle radius2 x (density - density of medium)
|
None
|
|
|
Sizes
"Bowel Movement" or "BM" |
A Bacterium is about 1 Micron (1 m),A eukaryotic cell is about 10 times larger (10 m),A virus is about 100 times smaller (0.01 m)
Note: these are very, very rough guides. The ranges of sizes are wide. |
