_ comunication releases hormones to the blood stream endocrine
Exocrine comunication releases hormones via _ ducts
Pherocrine releases hormones _ the body outside
peptide, steroid and protein are different classes of _ hormones
_ hormones interact with receptors inside the nucleos and cytoplasm peptide
_ hormones interact with receptors in nuclear membrane steroid
_hormones interact with receptors embedded in cell membrane protein
Endocrine system is regulated by _ feedback loops
Negative feedback _. Signals glands to _ inhibit, stop production
Positive feedback _. Signals glands to _ increase, up-regulate
Positive feedback requires an _ hormone to _ cycle antagonist, inhibit
_ and _ are the link btwn nerveous and endocrine systems hypothalamus and pituitary
Hypothalamus is part of the _ system lymbic
Secretion of regulatory hormones, stimulation of pituitary, and neural control over endocrine cells are functions of the _ hypothalamus
The hypothalamus has H.E.A.L. functions, meaning homeostasis, endocrine, autonomic, and limbic fuctions
Hypophysis = pituitary
The adenohypophysis is the _ pituitary, made of _ tissue; the neurohypophysis is the _ part of the pituitary and is made of _ tissue anterior, glandular, posterior, nervous
The pituitary locates in the s_ t_, near the sphenoid sinus sella turcica
_ body's largest endocrine gland thyroid
TH controls calcitonin hormone, rates of _ and _ production metabolism, aTP
TH does NOT affect _, spleen, _ and _ brain, testes, uterus
The thyroid gland metabolizes _, is highly _ and _, and has significant lymphatic drainage Iodine (I), vascularized and innervated
TH is esential for _ development. brain
Hypo/hyperthyroidism is a consecuence of fluctuations in _ consumption Iodine
Parathyroid glands main function is regulating _ Ca levels
Pineal gland synthesize _ melatonin
Insulin _ the rate of glucose uptake and utilization. Result = _ increases, low blood [glucose]
Glucagon _ the rates of glycogen breakdown and glucose manufacturing by the liver. Result = _ increses, high blood [glucose]
Adrenal glands = _ glands. Have 2 layers: _ and _ suprarenal, medulla and cortex (exterior)
Adrenal medulla secretes _ and _ in response to sympathetic stimulation adrenaline/epinephrine and noradrenaline/norepinephrine
The adrenal cortex secretes 3 types of hormones: Glucocorticoids = _, mineralcorticoids = _, and Adrenons =_ anti-stress, reabsorption of Na by kidneys, precursors for sex hormones
Gonads produce _ hormones, and are stimulated by _ sex, LH
ADH (antidiuretic H) is produced by _ pituitary, and it changes the permeability of the distal convoluted tube of nephron (kidneys) posterior
Oxytocin is _ type of hormone, it induces _ of the uterus during labor peptide, stretching
A tumor in the posterior pituitary would result in increased urine output
