Autocrine - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Who regulates pituitary gland secretion? - ANS hypothalamus What is a hormone and how does it act? - ANS Hormones are chemical messengers that are responsible for regulation. They are secreted into body fluids, mainly blood. It has specific actions on target tissues, which are any tissue that has specific receptors for that particular hormone. Compare and contrast glucagon and insulin. - ANS Glucagon stimulates the liver to break down glycogen and convert noncarbohydrates into glu...

MICR 270 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS WITH REVISED ANSWERS – UPDATED!! autocrine signaling - Answer-the target cell is also the secreting cell paracrine signalling - Answer-Target cells near secreting cells (regulate neighbors) endocrine signalling - Answer-A mode of transmission for signalling molecules that act on cells that are far from the cell that secretes them. Pro-inflammatory cytokines - Answer-induce inflammatory response in the body (ex: TNF alpha) Anti-inflammatory cytokines -...

The nurse is teaching a client who has been newly diagnosed with hypothyroidism about the function of the thyroid. Which of these does the nurse explain to the client is the role of the thyroid gland? a) The thyroid gland is responsible for increasing the metabolic rate. b) The thyroid gland promotes development of secondary sex characteristics. c) The thyroid gland releases neurotransmitters when the "flight or flight" mechanism is stimulated. d) The thyroid gland is responsible for r...

What are the properties of a eukaryotic cell - • Well define nucleus. • cells are larger and have more extensive intracellular anatomy and organization than do prokaryotes. • cells bind with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and are involved in the super coiling of DNA. • cells have several chromosomes, protein production or synthesis . it consists of three components: outer membrane called plasma membrane, a fluid filling called cytoplasm, and the intra cellular organs or organelles ...

Endocrine System System composed of various glands that can synthesize and release special chemical messengers called hormones. System works closely with the Nervous System and the Immune system to regulate and integrate body functions. Functions: Growth and development Sexual differentiation Metabolism Adaptation to an ever-changing environment Regulation of digestion Use and storage of nutrients Electrolyte and water metabolism Reproductive functions Hormones Endocrine system uses chemical ...
