|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Does the endocrine system work with the nervous system to maintain homeostasis? Yes or No?
YES
|
Are there specialized cells in various other organs that produce hormones? Yes or No?
YES
|
What are steroid hormones?
Lipid-Soluble in order to pass through cell membranes.
|
What is negative feedback?
Mechanisms control hormone release
|
What is aden/o
GLAND
|
|
What is the endocrine system made up of?
tissues, and organs called endocrine glands
|
Where are most of the specialized cells in various other organs generally located?
LIVER, HEART, and GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT
|
Are Steroid Hormones carried through the bloodstream weakly to plasma proteins? TRUE or FALSE
TRUE
|
What happens in a negative feedback system?
A gland is sensitive to the concentration of the substance it regulates.
|
What is pancreat/o
PANCREAS
|
|
What do endocrine glands do?
they secrete hormones into bodily fluids
|
Where is the Adrenal Gland located?
On the top of both kidneys.
|
Where are protein receptors for steroid hormones located?
Inside the target cell
|
What happens as hormone levels rise?
The hormone exerts its effects further secretion is inhibited by negative feedback and then the hormone secretion decreases.
|
What is somat/o
BODY
|
|
What diffuses into the bloodstream to act on specific target cells some distance away?
HORMONES
|
What is the thyroid gland?
A large ductless gland in the neck which secrets hormones regulating growth and development through the rate of metabolism.
|
What happens when hormone receptor complex binds with the DNA?
It activates specific genes that in turn direct synthesis of specific proteins.
|
When does the inhibition get removed?
When the concentration of the hormone drops below its normal level.
|
What is ster/o
SOLID STRUCTURE
|
|
What are they bodies 2 major types of glands?
Exocrine which secrets products into ducts, outside the internal environment. Endocrine secretes products into body fluids to affect target cells.
|
What are the Major Endocrine Glands?
Pituitary gland, Thyroid gland, Parathyroid glands, Adrenal glands, Pancreas, Pineal gland, Reproductive glands (ovaries and testes), kidneys, and thymus gland
|
Does the new protein function as an enzyme? YES or NO and why?
YES it transports protein or hormone receptor and it carries out the effects of the steroid hormone.
|
Why do hormone levels remain fairly constant how?
By fluctuating within a normal average range.
|
What is toxic/o
TOXIC
