SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
✔✔Ovaries - ✔✔Produce estrogen and progesterone.
✔✔Testes - ✔✔Produces testosterone which regulates sperm production and
secondary male characteristics.
✔✔Pineal Gland - ✔✔Releases melatonin which regulates sleep
✔✔Thymus - ✔✔Its hormones help T cells mature. In children trains cells to attack as
you get older it becomes less and less useful (involution).
✔✔Water Soluable - ✔✔Binding of hormone to its receptor activates G protein which
activates a secondary messenger.
✔✔Lipid Soluable - ✔✔nto the cell and can alter DNA quickly.
✔✔Acramegaly - ✔✔Abnormal growth of the hands, feet, and face, caused by
overproduction of growth hormone by the pituitary gland.
✔✔Gigantism - ✔✔When a tumor grows on the pituitary gland, the gland makes more
growth hormone than the body needs. Other less common causes of gigantism may
include: McCune-Albright syndrome: a disease that causes abnormal growth in bone
tissue, patches of light-brown skin, and gland abnormalities.
✔✔Dwarfism - ✔✔Dwarfism can be caused by any of more than 200 conditions. Causes
of proportionate dwarfism include metabolic and hormonal disorders such as growth
hormone deficiency.
✔✔CUSHING'S Syndrom - ✔✔Too much ACTH, or Cortisol, or CRH. Causing a moon
face and fat deposits.
✔✔Addisons Disease - ✔✔Not enough ACTH, Cortisol, or CRH. Can cause you to go
into shock when stressed Kennedy had this.
✔✔general adaptation syndrome - ✔✔Has to do with stress.
1.Initial flight-or-fight
2.Slower resistance reaction
-Running out of cortisol
3.Eventually exhaustion
-running out of cortisol will kill you
, ✔✔During stress cortisol - ✔✔helps you break down proteins for more energy,
synthezixe oxygen, and swelling
✔✔Whole Blood Sameple - ✔✔55% plasma and 45% red blood cells
✔✔Plasma - ✔✔Mostly water and some solutes that consist of proteins
✔✔Plasma Proteins - ✔✔
✔✔Albumins - ✔✔Major type of proteins found in blood really important in osmotic
pressure to draw water across membranes
✔✔Fibronigen - ✔✔Liquid state until exposed clotting factors and forms thyrine the
basis for clots.
✔✔Antibodies - ✔✔Protect from invasion of living organisms and toxins and parasites
✔✔Types of Anemias - ✔✔
✔✔Anemia - ✔✔Not enough Oxygen carrying red blood cells, not enough iron,
✔✔Pronecious Amenia - ✔✔Lack of vitamin B12, and not enough intrinsic factor
✔✔Basic Redistrubution of Red Blood Cells when theyre broken down - ✔✔No RBC
cant replicate so they wear out and are recycled in the spleen. Monocytes then digests
it and the amino acids and heme is recycled.
✔✔Basic stucture of Hemoglobin - ✔✔4 tertiary structure in a quetarney arrangement
✔✔Heme - ✔✔Porphryn Ring
✔✔Formed Elements and where theyre derived from - ✔✔Red blood cells, white blood
cells, platelets. Red bone marrow myleoid tissue.
✔✔Myleoid Tissue - ✔✔All formed elements but lymphocytes are formed here in the red
bone marrow.
✔✔Neutrophils - ✔✔Microphages, die to kill, pus.
✔✔Eosnophils - ✔✔Microphages, die to kill, pus.
✔✔Basophils - ✔✔Releases histomines when damage to cells for swelling. Heprine
keeps blood from clotting and allows easy access for wbc
