Hormones definition
chemicals made by endocrine glands, has different structures (lipids, steroids, proteins)
What are glands
glands are a organ that releases a secretion, ex. enzymes, hormones
4 Hormone classes
amine, peptide, protein, steroid (estrogen, testosterone)
Posterior Pituitary Hormones
oxytocin, ADH (they transport by axons)
Anterior Pituitary Hormones
FSH, LH, ACTH, Thyroid, Prolactin, Growth (they secrete into capillary plexus 1)
Parathyroid hormone
PTH triggered by low calcium levels, effects bone to stimulate osteoblasts (incre breakdown)
Aldosterone
produce by Adrenal cortex, triggered by low Na+, high K+, low blood pressure/volumes, stimulate kidney to excrete K+, Na+ retention
Cortisol
from ACTH/Adrenal cortex, involved in stress response, causes high blood pressure, low digestion activity
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine
apart of short term stress, from Adrenal medulla, causes increase heart rate/breathing, high blood glucose/pressure
Stress response (3 phases)
Insulin and Glucagon
insulin triggered by high blood glucose, pancreas release B cells, liver starts taking up glucose
glucagon triggered by low blood glucose, pancreas release a cells, liver causes glycogenesis (make glucose)
Thymosin
from Thymus, involved in immune system
Melationin
from Pineal gland, inhibit LH, helps sleep cycle
Oxytocin
hypo-post-breast (milk letdown)/uterus (contract)
ADH
hypo-post-kidney (high water retention)
Gonadotropic RH
hypo-GnRH-ant-FSH/LH-ovaries/testes
Thyroid HRH
hypo-THRH-ant-TSH-thyroid (T3/T4)(heart)
Prolactin
hypo-prolactin RH-ant-prolactin (breast, milk produc)
Growth RH
hypo-GRH-growth H-bones/liver
ACTHRH
hypo-ACTHRH-ant-ACTH-adrenal gland-cortisol
Sinoatrial node
has pacemaker cells, generate own depolarization
Atrioventricular node
makes impulse pass through heart, receives from SA and send to Av bundle, heart contract bottom up
Heart cycle
ECG (P,Q,R,S,T)
P- SA node starts impulse, atria contract AV valve open
Q- interval of AV node delay
QRS- impulse travel AV bundle, ventricle start depolar, atria repolar
R- beginning of ventricle depolar and contraction
Before T- ventricle contract and depolar
T- ventricle repolar and relax
