small quantities - ANS-are hormones produced in large or small quantities
target tissues - ANS-what do hormones act on in the body?
receptor molecules - ANS-what do hormones bind on in target tissues?
receptor molecules - ANS-Proteins on the surface of the cell membrane that receive signals
from the nervous and endocrine system. These are needed for your cells to communicate and
work together.
amino acid compound receptors - ANS-hormones that attach to receptor on target cell and are
made up of proteins, short amino acid chains or single amino acids; consists of all hormones
except adrenal cortex and sex hormones
humoral stimulus - ANS-secretion of hormones in direct response to changing blood levels of
ions and nutrients
hormonal stimulus - ANS-hormone release caused by another hormone
tropic hormones - ANS-hormones that stimulate other glands to release their hormones
neural stimulus - ANS-hormone release caused by neural input
neurohormones - ANS-hormones secreted from the nervous system
positive feedback - ANS-increase in one hormone "turns on" or stimulates the release of another
hormone
negative feedback - ANS-increase in one hormone "turns off" the release of another hormone
prostaglandins - ANS-hormone-like substances (fatty acids) produced by most body tissues-act
close to where they are released
hypothalamus - ANS-"master gland" control center that connects the nervous system to the
endocrine system system
pituitary gland - ANS-when the hypothalamus detects levels of substances in the blood, it
secretes hormones through the ___.
, hypophysis - ANS-another name for the pituitary gland
adenohypophysis - ANS-name for the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland
neurohypophysis - ANS-name for posterior pituitary gland
infundibulum - ANS-A stalk that attaches the pituitary gland to the hypothalamus.
lipid hormones - ANS-pass directly into target cells; lipids compounds from the adrenal cortex
and sex glands
ending in -one - ANS-how can lipid hormones be recognized by the spelling?
blood vessels - ANS-How is the anterior pituitary connected to the anterior pituitary?
anterior pituitary - ANS-Stimulated by hormones from the hypothalamus to produce and secrete
hormones
posterior pituitary - ANS-stores and releases hormones that have been produced by the
hypothalamus
nerves - ANS-the posterior pituitary is connected to the hypothalamus via ____?
localized to where they were secreted - ANS-what do prostaoglandins tartet?
promote inflammation - ANS-example of something a prostaglandin does?
anterior pituitary gland - ANS-what gland secretes the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone? (TSH)
anterior pituitary gland - ANS-what gland secretes the Adenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)?
anterior pituitary gland - ANS-what gland secretes the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)?
anterior pituitary gland - ANS-what gland secretes the luteinizing hormone (LH)?
anterior pituitary gland - ANS-what gland secretes prolactin (PRL)?
anterior pituitary gland - ANS-what gland secretes the Growth Hormone (GH)?
posterior pituitary gland - ANS-what gland secretes the antidiuretic hormone (ADH)?
posterior pituitary gland - ANS-what gland secretes the hormone oxytocin (OT)?
