Name 3 lipid soluble hormone classes
1. Steroids
2. Thyroid
3. Nitric oxide
Name 3 water soluble hormone classes
1. Amines
2. Peptide and Protein
3. Eicosanoid
circulating hormones
secreted into the interstitial fluid and then moved into the blood for distribution around the body
local hormones
These are secreted into the interstitial fluid and affect local cells instead of being distributed via the blood
2 classes of local hormones
1. Autocrine
2. Paracrine
Paracrine hormones
local hormones that affect neighboring cells, and generally maintain the local physiology
Autocrine hormones
local hormones that affect the cell that secreted them, and are normally used as a positive feedback to stimulate the cell in some physiological activity
Hormonal effects include
1.synthesis of new molecules
2.changing the permeability of the plasma membrane
3.stimulating transport of a substance into or out of the target cells
4. altering the rate of specific metabolic reactions
5. causing the contraction of smooth muscle or cardiac muscle
4.
Hormonal effects include
1. Alters plasma membrane permeability or membrane potential by opening or closing ion channels
2. Stimulates synthesis of proteins or regulatory molecules such as enzymes within the cell.
3. Activates or deactivates enzymes
4. Induces secretory activity
5. Stimulates mitosis
Permissive effect
the actions of some hormones on target cells requires a simultaneous or recent exposure to a second hormone.
Sometimes the permissive hormone increases the number of receptors for the other hormone, and sometimes it promotes the synthesis of an enzyme required for the expression of the other hormones effects
Synergistic effect
When the effect of two hormones acting together is greater or more extensive than the effect of each hormone acting alone
Antagonistic effects
When one hormone opposes the actions of another hormone
3 types of signals that can control hormone secretion
1. Signals from the nervous system
2. Chemical changes in the blood.
3. Other hormones
anterior pituitary gland cells
1. Somatotrophs
2. Thryrotrophs
3. Gonadotrophs
4. Lactotrophs
5. Corticotrophs
Somatotrophs secrete
Human growth hormome (hGH)
Thryrotrophs secrete
Thryroid stimulating hormone (TSH) or thyrotrophic
Gonadotrophs secrete
follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)
Lactotrophs secrete
prolactin (PRL)
Corticotrophs secrete
adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) or corticotropin
- melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH)
tropins
hormones that influence another endocrine gland
