Endocrine || System: || Exam || 2 || with || correct ||

detailed || solutions

5 || functions || of || the || endocrine || system. the || first || is || differentiation || of || ___________ || and || ____________ || in || fetus. || - || Correct || answer || ✔differentiation || of || reproductive || system || & || CNS || in || fetus The || second || function || is || stimulation || of: || - || Correct || answer || ✔stimulation || of || growth || & || development || (maturation). The || third || function || of || the || endocrine || system || is || coordination || of || what || systems? || - || Correct || answer || ✔coordination || of || the || male || and || female || reproductive || systems || (secretion). The || fourth || function || of || the || endocrine || system || is || maintenance || of: || - || Correct || answer || ✔maintenance || of || internal || environment. The || fifth || function || of || the || endocrine || system || in || adaption || to: || - || Correct || answer || ✔adaption || to || emergency || demands || of || body. || Allows || for || increased || efficiency || & || mobilization || of || energy || stores || to || manage || stress. The || endocrine || system || affects || __________ || cells || in || the || body. || - || Correct || answer || ✔nearly || every || cell.

Organs || involved || in || the || endocrine || system: || - || Correct || answer || ✔multiple || organs || includes || pineal || gland, || pituitary || gland, || thyroid || gland, || parathyroid || gland, || thymus, || adrenal || gland, || pancreas, || ovary, || and || testis. Hormones || have || 4 || general || characteristics. || First, || they || have || specific || __________ || and || _____________ || of || secretion. || Their || patterns || depend || on? || - || Correct || answer || ✔specific || rates || and || rhythms || of || secretion. Patterns || depend || on || circulating || substances. Some || specific || rates || and || rhythms || of || hormone || secretion || include: || - || Correct || answer || ✔- diurnal: || BID. -pulsatile: || rise || or || fall || in || a || range. -cyclic: || go || up/down || during || certain || times || of || day || or || sleep-wake || cycles. released || due || to || homeostatic || changes, || cyclical || basis, || or || only || when || activated. || Many || different || patterns || for || how || their || regulated || and || released. Hormones || operate || within || ____________ || systems. || - || Correct || answer || ✔feedback. Hormones || affect || only || - || Correct || answer || ✔target || cells || that || have || specific || receptors || to || bind || to || a || given || hormone. For || example: || insulin || affects || many || cells || directly, || but || not || the || brain || because || there || are || no || receptors || here.

Hormones || are || released || into || the || circulatory || system || by: || - || Correct || answer || ✔endocrine || glands. down-regulation || vs || up-regulation || of || hormone: || - || Correct || answer || ✔Down || = || high || levels || of || hormones || can || decrease || affinity, || number, || or || both || of || cells' || receptors. || Decreases || sensitization || and || responsiveness || to || hormones. || If || large || amounts || of || hormone || present, || the || cell || will || stop || making || receptors || for || that || hormone. || This || will || desensitize || the || cell || to || the || hormone || and || cause || it || to || become || resistant || to || it. Up || = || low || levels || of || hormone || creates || more || receptors || in || the || plasma || membrane || to || increase || sensitization || and || responsiveness || to || hormones. || Small || amounts || of || hormone || will || cause || cell || to || start || producing || more || and || more || of || the || receptor || into || the || surface || to || increase || sensitization || and || respond || more || to || the || small || amount || of || hormone. || cells || are || constantly || changing || their || number || of || receptors || in || response || to || the || level || of || hormones || in || the || bloodstream. direct || vs || permissive || effects || of || hormones: || - || Correct || answer || ✔direct || = || ex: || insulin || directly || affecting || cell's || ability || to || incorporate || glucose || transporters || to || uptake || glucose || into || the || cell || from || the || plasma || to || reduce || blood || glucose || levels. permissive || = || hormone || can || enable || a || second || hormone || to || become || functional || to || do || a || job. GH || needs || _____________ || to || be || produced || to || have || its || full || effect. || - || Correct || answer || ✔thyroid || hormone. water-soluble || vs. || lipid-soluble || form || in || the || bloodstream || - || Correct || answer || ✔water-soluble || hormones || circulate || in || free, || unbound || forms. lipid-soluble || hormones || are || primarily || circulating || bound || to || a || carrier.

water-soluble || vs || lipid-soluble: philic || to... || phobic || to... || - || Correct || answer || ✔water-soluble || is || lipophobic, || hydrophilic, || charged. lipid-soluble || is || lipophilic, || hydrophobic, || steroids. water-soluble || vs || lipid-soluble: response || time || of || each? || - || Correct || answer || ✔water-soluble || = || short-acting || response || as || they || bind || to || surface || receptors. || Cannot || pass || through || membranes || directly. lipid-soluble || = || rapid, || but || long-lasting || response. || Directly || affect || translation || and || transcription || as || they || diffuse || freely || across || the || plasma || and || nuclear || membranes. || Bind || with || cytosolic || or || nuclear || receptors. || No || plasma || membrane || receptors || needed. What || must || lipid-soluble || hormones || need || although || they || do || not || need || plasma || membrane || receptors? || - || Correct || answer || ✔Need || carrier || proteins || to || be || carried || throughout || the || bloodstream. Most || hormone || will || be || bound || to || carrier || proteins || in || the || plasma. || This || helps || them || to || be || long-lasting || and || decreases || fluctuations || because || there || is || a || reserve || of || protein || bound || in || carrier || form. Length || of || lasting || for || hormones || is || based || on: || - || Correct || answer || ✔ability || to || bind || to || carrier || proteins || or || being || able || to || dissolve || in || plasma.

IP3 || leads || to || formation || of || - || Correct || answer || ✔calcium lipid-soluble || hormones || are || also || called || _______ || and || ________ || hormones. || - || Correct || answer || ✔steroid || and || thyroid || hormones || (although || made || from || amine). second-messenger || molecules || has || multiple || effects || on || the || cell || because: || - || Correct || answer || ✔The || second || messengers || change || a || receptor, || activates || an || enzyme, || and || produces || second || messengers || inside || of || the || cell. The || enzymes || creates || more || potential || to || create || 2nd || messengers || such || as || kinases. Greatly || amplifies || small || amounts || of || hormone || and || can || cause || many || different || effects || due || to || many || 2nd || messengers || activated. What || is || the || master || endocrine || organ? || - || Correct || answer || ✔hypothalamus. The || hypothalamus || release || hormone || that || directly || affects: || - || Correct || answer || ✔the || pituitary || gland. The || continuation || of || the || hypothalamus || creates: || - || Correct || answer || ✔the || posterior || pituitary || (axons). the || hypothalamus || is || the || cell || body. || It || transmits || signals || through || axonal || transport || to || the || axon || terminal. || Upon || stimulation || of || the || hypothalamus, || it || releases || hormones || at || the || pituitary || into || the || bloodstream.
