What is permissiveness in hormone interactions?
It is where one hormone cannot fully exert its effects unless a second hormone is present. (needs help from a second hormone to do its job)

Name 4 hormones that promote growth and development
Name 4 hormones that increase blood glucose levels
Name 4 hormones that increase blood pressure, and how does it happen in each of these hormones?
If thyroid hormones are high will the TSH and the TRH be high or low in the hypothalamus, anterior pituitary, and endocrine organ cascade?
TRH and TSH will low because of the negative feedback loop (already have good thyroid hormone levels sot they do not need TSH and TRH to be active and make more)
If the thyroid hormones are low will the TSH and TRH be high or low in the hypothalamus, anterior pituitary, and endocrine organ cascade?
TRH and TSH will increase because of the negative feedback loop (trying to get the thyroid levels up)
What type of cells secrete thyroid hormones (T3 & T4) in the thyroid gland?
Follicular cells
What cells in the thyroid gland secrete calcitonin for calcium regulation?
Parafollicular cells
What is required to synthesize thyroxine hormones?
Iodine
What are the energy effects of the thyroid hormones (T3/T4)?
What are the growth effects of the thyroid hormones (T3/T4)?
What are the ANS effects of the thyroid hormones (T3/T4)?
How do children regulate their heat so well?
By the thyroid hormones
Why are the functions of the thyroid hormones required for most cells?
It increases their functions, metabolism, and essentially controls how much energy the cells can make (metabolism)
How does hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism effects the body and its cells?
Hypothyroidism- it affects your body by slowing everything down (metabolism) and making you more weak constant fatigue because your cells aren’t functioning properly, feeling cold etc.
Hyperthyroidism- It affects your body by increasing everything (metabolism), So it increases heart rate which can lead to heart diseases, causes osteoporosis by speeding up bone remodeling instead of reabsorbing calcium
Why is cortisol considered the stress hormone
Because it is released when your body is in a stressful situation
what actions does cortisol do in regards to calcium?
It blocks the intestines from absorbing calcium and it increases the excretion of calcium from the kidney
What does cortisol do (actions) in high stressful situation?
What does cortisol do (actions) in non stressful situations?
What is the difference between calcitonin and parathyroid hormones in calcium regulation?
Calcitonin- Responds to hypercalcemia in the blood (high calcium levels in the blood), Which slows down osteoclasts which reduces the rate of calcium being released, has the kidney excrete calcium, and prevents the intestines from absorbing calcium
Parathyroid hormones- Responds to hypocalcemia in the blood (low calcium levels), Which increases osteoclasts and increases calcium storage in bones, and increases the absorption of calcium in the intestines,
