APHY 102 Final Exam with correct Answers
what regulates pituitary secretion?
hypothalamus, other brain areas, and feedback from target organs


What is a hormone?
a regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood or sap
to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action.


How do hormones work?
1) They are molecular triggers that can only influence specific cells, called Target Cells.
2) They will either stimulate or inhibit a specific action.
3) They are released from ductless organs.
4) Travel slowly through bloodstream.

How is inhibin used in the body?
Inhibin is a hormone that occurs in both men and women. In women, the hormone is secreted in the
ovaries, and acts to prevent the synthesis and secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). FSH
actually stimulates the secretion of inhibin, so the latter hormone is part of a feedback mechanism to
prevent an overabundance of FSH. Both males and females produce FSH and gonadotropin-releasing
hormone (GnRH), and inhibin prevents this release in both genders. Promotes spermatogenesis in
males.


What is the paracrine gland?

what is the autocrine?

describe the steps in clot formation.
1. You get a cut (wound) and then you have RBC, platlets and clotting factors floating around.
2. Blood cells and fluid escape the wound.
Exposed collagen fibers start the clotting process.
3. Exposed platelets start to adhere to the wound area and release chemicals that attract more
platlets.
4.Platlet plug stops external bleeding.
5. Clotting factor increases and causes fibrin to attach and block/seal the wound like a bandaid would.
6. The wound heals and the clotting fibrin and platlets dissolve after it has been sealed
