Who regulates pituitary gland Hypothalamus
secretion?
What is a hormone? Hormones are chemical messengers responsible
for regulation, secreted into body fluids, mainly
blood, with specific actions on target tissues.
What does glucagon do? Stimulates the liver to break down glycogen and
convert noncarbohydrates into glucose, and
stimulates the breakdown of fats.
, What does insulin do? Promotes the formation of glycogen from glucose,
inhibits conversion of noncarbohydrates into
glucose, and enhances glucose movement through
cell membranes.
How do glucagon and insulin work Both work to keep blood glucose concentration
together? constant, but glucagon breaks down glycogen into
glucose while insulin forms glycogen from glucose.
What are pheromones? Chemical signals sent between members of the
same species that play a role in physical attraction.
How is inhibin used in the body? Inhibits the anterior pituitary gland by negative
feedback to prevent over secretion of FSH.
Differentiate between paracrine, Paracrine affects neighboring cells, autocrine
autocrine, endocrine, and exocrine affects the secreting cell, endocrine acts on target
glands. cells via bloodstream, and exocrine secretes into
ducts.
What are steroid hormones? Sex hormones and adrenal cortex hormones that
diffuse through cell membranes and promote
transcription of mRNA.
What are tropic hormones? Hormones that stimulate the activity of endocrine
glands.
What is the normal blood volume in About 5 liters.
adults?
What is the normal RBC count in 4,600,000-6,200,000.
males?
