1. Four to eight tiny yellow-brown glands embedded in posterior aspect of thyroid 2. Parathyroid hormone (PTH)

What hormones from the gastrointestinal tract control/enhance activity during ingestion?

1. Gastrin- stimulates release of HCl 2. Ghrelin- from stomach stimulates food intake 3. Secretin stimulates liver and pancreas 4. Cholecystokinin (CCK)- activates pancreas, gallbladder, and hepatopancreatic sphincter 5. Incretins- enhance insulin release and inhibit glucagon

Anterior Pituitary Hormones produce the follow 6 hormones (peptide hormones)

1. Growth hormone (GH) 2. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) (tropic) 3. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (tropic) 4. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) (tropic) 5. Luteinizing hormone (LH) (tropic) 6. Prolactin (PRL)

How do 2ND messengers work? (5 steps)

1. Hormone binds to receptor 2. Receptor activates G protein 3. G protein activates or inhibits effector enzyme adenylate cyclase 4. Adenylate cyclase converts ATP to cAMP 5. cAMP activates protein kinases that phosphorylate other proteins

Five main thing which the Endocrine system controls and integrates.

1. Reproduction 2. Growth and development 3. Maintenance of electrolyte, water, and nutrient balance of blood 4. Regulation of cellular metabolism and energy balance 5. Mobilization of body defenses

Three changes that may be caused by hormonal stimulus are

1. a change in membrane potential 2. stimulation of mitosis 3. an increase in enzyme synthesis

Three changes typically produced by a hormonal stimulus

1. activates or deactivates enzymes 2. alters plasma membrane permeability 3. induces secretory activity
