cannot enter the cell unless they have a membrane receptor
quick acting and short half life
✅
How do steroid hormones travel in the blood and how do they exert their
effect on the cell?- needs to be bound to a protein to travel in blood
they are lipophilic, therefore can enter target cell
slow acting and longer half life
✅
What is a steroid hormone made of? Give an example of a steroid
hormone- cholesterol
examples: cortisol, estrogen and testosterone
✅stress,
What are three things that can affect hormone secretion?-
diet/sleep, emotional/disease state
✅
what is permissiveness? give an example- the need of a second
hormone to get the full expression of the hormone
example: TH increases the number of receptor sites for epi
what is synergism? give an example- ✅multiple stimuli
ex: glucagon + epi + cortisol
what is a tropic hormone? give examples- ✅act on other endocrine glands
to control hormone secretion
,ex: hypothalamus and anterior pituitary
what is a non tropic hormone? give examples- ✅act on effector organs
ex: thyroid, adrenals, pancreas
what is primary hypersecretion caused by?- ✅abnormality within the gland
✅
what is secondary hyposecretion?- when the gland is normal, but there is
a lack of hormonal secretion due to decreased tropic hormone
what is the role of the hypothalamus in endocrine function?- ✅controls the
anterior pituitary which then controls endocrine glands
✅
what is another name for neurohypophysis and
adenohypophysis?- posterior pituitary and anterior pituitary respectively
✅
name 2 hormones that the posterior pituitary secretes and what are their
effects?- oxytocin and ADH
oxytocin stimulates uterine contractions in childbirth and promotes milk

non tropic: prolactin
FSH: promotes egg and sperm production
LH: estrogen and testosterone secretion, ovulation
TSH: promotes TH secretion
ACTH: promotes cortisol secretion
GH: causes insulin growth like factors, stimulates protein synthesis and cell
division to increase muscle and lengthen/thicken bones
prolactin: promotes breast development and milk production
, what triggers growth? name the 2 hormones involved- ✅genetics, diet and
sleep, normal levels of growth influencing hormones
GHRH & GH
✅
what do somatomedins do? what's another name for this
hormone?- stimulate cartilage growth and insulin like growth factors
GH
✅
what are the effects of excessive growth hormone in adults?- Gigantism
or Acromegaly occurs
Gigantism: occurs before growth plates close; lengthening of bone
Acromegaly: occurs after growth plates close (20 yrs); thickening of bone
✅influences circadian rhythm and
what is the function of melatonin?-
antioxidant activity (repair work)
✅
what 2 hormones come from the thyroid gland and what are their
effects?- TH and calcitonin
TH: increases metabolism, therefore, increasing heat
calcitonin: decreases blood calcium levels
what is needed for thyroid hormone production?- ✅iodine
when is thyroid hormone released?- ✅when cold as TH increases heat
✅
what is Grave's disease? what are the treatment
options?- hyperthyroidism - excessive thyroxine
it is an autoimmune condition
can be treated by medication, radiation and surgery
✅
what is hyperthyroidism? and what are some symptoms?- excessive
thyroxine
tachycardia, hyperactivity, weight loss, hunger, hot, bulgy eyes
