anatomy 3

Calcitonin and parathyroid hormone are antagonistic with each other in much the same way that insulin and glucagon are.

All of the hormones produced by the adrenal cortex are

The area of the right popliteal lymph node is drained by the

What effect does sympathetic stimulation have on circulating insulin?

Thyroglobulin and iodine in the presence of appropriate intracellular enzymes makes cortisol.

When something is reabsorbed from the kidneys

What would result from giving exogenous ACTH to a person with a normal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis?

Inhibiting and releasing hormones are produced in the___ and released from the ___ :

What is the effect of an ACE inhibitor

Cortisol is released at the end of which endocrine axis?

The responsiveness of a target cell to a hormone does not vary and will not ever depend on the influences exerted by other hormones.

If your pituitary isn’t releasing enough TSH you’re in danger of becoming hypothyroid. This would be:

What is the difference between target cells for a certain hormone and non-target cells?

There are axons found inside the infundibulum:

Renin

Melatonin

Lymphedema is the condition of localized fluid retention and tissue swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system

Many of the effects of the thyroid hormones resemble the effects of sympathetic stimulation.

Colloid

Increased circulation t3 and t4 will have what effect of erythropoiesis, body T and cardiac muscle contractility

What effect does hyperglycemia have on circulating insulin?

What is the proper order for these enzymes from earliest to latest?

ADH is released from

The endocrine system is simply another way for cells to communicate with each other to allow for homeostasis of body processes. The main difference between the nervous and the endocrine systems is that the endocrine system tends to act more slowly and its actions last longer than those of the nervous system.

Hydrophobic hormones

What is the effect of an ACE inhibitor

Parathyroid hormone

Hydrophilic hormones:

Gestational diabetes is defined as hypoglycemia of the fetus and will generally resolve on its own, with no medical intervention.

Portal vessels carry hormones :

When hydrophilic hormones bind to a target cell, the resulting products of that cell match the hormone at a 1:1 ratio

Amino acid-derived hormones are hydrophobic and must therefore interact with transmembrane proteins in order to effect a change in a target cells.

One quick and easy way to tell the nervous system apart from the endocrine system is that all endocrine functions are involuntary and all nervous functions are voluntary.

Corticotrophin releasing hormone is synthesized

Aldosterone

Parathyroid hormone

Cortisol

Exocrine glands can release hormones, they just don’t travel very far.

Second messengers are small intracellular mediators (like cAMP) for example) which activate enzymatic cascades and are more likely to be associated with___hormones

Insulin:

Calcitonin

Which of the following hormones are synthesized in the posterior pituitary?

Fluid in the lymphatic system is essentially being filtered by cells of the

Angiotensin II

The adrenal glands

An increase in fluid in the interstitium will directly lead to a decrease in fluid in the lymphatic system
