TESTE DEIN WISSEN
What is the difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic messenger
Lösung anzeigen
TESTE DEIN WISSEN
Hydrophilic messenger: 
Hormones secreted by exocytosis from endocrine cell to blood vessel and then dissolve in blood plasma
Hydrophobic messenger: 
Hormones secreted via diffusion from endocrine cell to blood vessel where they bind to carrier proteins

TESTE DEIN WISSEN
Relationship between diabetes and pancreas

TESTE DEIN WISSEN
Name the various modes of secretion 
Lösung anzeigen
TESTE DEIN WISSEN
PANE 

  • Paracrine: when a cell secretes a product and the product binds to neighboring cell receptors and performs the function in the cell 
  • Autocrine: when a cell secretes a product and the product binds to the receptor on the same cell and performs function on same cell 
  • Neuro-endocrine: when a hormones moves along through the axon of a neuron to the target cell 
  • Endocrine: when a hormone is released into the circulatory system and moves along the bloodstream to target cell

TESTE DEIN WISSEN
Why does aldosterone have a shorter half life 
Lösung anzeigen
TESTE DEIN WISSEN
Aldosterone = protein 
BUT NOT bound to protein carrier and is FREE in plasma
Unbound hormone diffuses into carrier protein 
Cortisol 
Estrogen 
Testosterone

TESTE DEIN WISSEN
Two hormones based on solubility and their descriptions 
Lösung anzeigen
TESTE DEIN WISSEN
  • Hydrophilic: PIC
  • water soluble= can dissolve easily in plasma a d requires no carrier protein 
Peptide Hormone
Indole-amines
Catecholamines 
  • Lipophilic: ST 
  • fat soluble: cannot dissolve easily and requires carrier protein
Steroid hormones
Thyroid hormones

TESTE DEIN WISSEN
Do all cholesterol containing organs produce steroid hormones
Lösung anzeigen
TESTE DEIN WISSEN
No 
If enzyme is not present steroid hormone will not be produced 
All the enzymes for the specific hormone produced by endocrine glands MUST be present at the specific part of the endocrine gland
