#1
Front (Question)

hormone

Back (Answer)

chemical messengers secreted into the blood by specialized epithelial cells

#2
Front (Question)

polar hormones

Back (Answer)

water-soluble, hydrophilic (peptides, catecholamines)

#3
Front (Question)

non-polar hormones

Back (Answer)

lipid-soluble, hydrophobic (steroids, thyroid hormones)

#4
Front (Question)

major classes of hormones

Back (Answer)

amines, peptides, steroids

#5
Front (Question)

amines

Back (Answer)

derivates of tyrosine (thyroid hormones- T3 & T4, catecholamines- Epi, NorEpi, dopamine)

#6
Front (Question)

peptides

Back (Answer)

AA chains / small peptides (insulin, glucagon)

#7
Front (Question)

steroids

Back (Answer)

derivates of cholesterol, adrenal hormones & gonadal hormones

#8
Front (Question)

adrenal hormones

Back (Answer)

mineralocorticoids (affect mineral metabolism) & glucocorticoids (affect glucose metabolism)

#9
Front (Question)

gonadal hormones

Back (Answer)

testosterone, estradiol, progesterone

#10
Front (Question)

goiter

Back (Answer)

enlargement of thyroid gland due to lack of iodine (don’t see this anymore due to adding iodine to salt)

#11
Front (Question)

where is the only place in the body iodine is found?

Back (Answer)

thyroid

#12
Front (Question)

hormonal transport

Back (Answer)

• peptide & catecholamines • thyroid & steroids

#13
Front (Question)

peptide & catecholamines hormonal transport

Back (Answer)

water soluble, easily transported in blood, easily degraded by enzymes (short half-life)

#14
Front (Question)

thyroid & steroids hormonal transport

Back (Answer)

lipid soluble, small amounts free in plasma (mostly carried by transport proteins), not readily degraded by enzymes (long half-life), medication

#15
Front (Question)

peptide & catecholamines hormonal action

Back (Answer)

must act on extracellular receptor, activating an enzyme or a second messenger system

#16
Front (Question)

thyroid & steroids hormonal action

Back (Answer)

diffuse directly through membrane, alters transcription of DNA

#17
Front (Question)

control of hormone secretion

Back (Answer)

change in plasma ion concentration, change in plasma nutrient concentration, neural input, (neuro) hormonal input

#18
Front (Question)

change in plasma ion concentration

Back (Answer)

uses hormones to balance ions

#19
Front (Question)

neural input

Back (Answer)

neural input causes secretion from a gland

#20
Front (Question)

(neuro)hormonal input

Back (Answer)

(neuro)hormone stimulates the secretion of another hormone

#21
Front (Question)

vasopressin

Back (Answer)

makes blood vessels constrict

#22
Front (Question)

ADH- antidiuretic hormone

Back (Answer)

released when body senses blood pressure or water volumes are low, makes you stop peeing so you can keep the fluid in & blood pressure goes up

#23
Front (Question)

oxytocin

Back (Answer)

hormone associated with the love hormones, usually created during sexual arousal & deals with reproduction in women

#24
Front (Question)

tropic hormone

Back (Answer)

a hormone that stimulates the secretion of another hormone
