in discussing how a hormone elicits a response, I repeatedly used a "phrase" in class that indicates the first step in the process. I also said I wish I had a dollar for every time I said this. What phrase am I referring to?

hormone binds to receptor

Chemical messengers secreted into blood or extracellular fluid by one cell that affect the functioning of other cells

hormones

which thyroid disorder did Dr. williams' former grad student get tested for but did not have?

hyperthyroidism

which thyroid disorder is characterized by weight loss, polyphagia, nervousness, and a whole bunch of other things?

hyperthyroidism

which pancreatic hormone can be considered a growth hormone because of its role in glucose uptake and amino acid uptake

insulin

the thyroid gland is unique in that it accumulates large quantities of a certain mineral and combines it into hormones. which mineral is it? (hint: it is added to salt)

iodine

from the 2 questions above, you know that PTH and calcitonin have actions in bone. what other 2 tissues in the body do these hormones affect for calcium regulation?

kidney and intestine

a number of reports have documented a syndrome of water and sodium retention coupled with low plasma concentrations of potassium in individuals that ingested an excessive amount of a certain type of candy. what candy is it?

licorice

the effects of growth hormone on lactation are indirect effects. why?

mammary glands do not have receptors for growth hormone so cannot bind

what is the best source of calcium for humans to meet their daily requirements?

milk

dairy cattle often experience hypocalcemia after calving. what is the name of this metabolic disorder?

milk fever (parturient paresis)

binding of a hormone to a plasma membrane receptor initiates a series of events which leads to the generation of ____ ____ within the cell. These then trigger a series of molecular interactions that alter the physiological state of the cell

second messengers

colloid fills the center of the functional unit. which large molecular weight protein is synthesized in the epithelial cells and secreted into the colloid? (this glycoprotein is needed for the synthesis of thyroid hormones)

IGF-1

what is the primary metabolic effect of glucocorticoids during stressful situations?

phospholipid derivatives

which hormone is produced only during pregnancy (disappears from circulation immediately after delivery) and whose major role is to stimulate the development of the mammary gland during pregnancy without causing milk secretion during pregnancy?

placental lactogen

what is the name of the blood supply that brings the releasing hormones from the neurons in the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary?

portal veins

during lactogenesis, this hormone stimulates maturation of the golgi apparatus and also stimulates secretion of alpha-lactalbumin. it is stimulated by progesterone

prolactin

which hormone, which shares a common ancestral gene with GH, is essential for ductile branching to form fully developed mammary glands and also stimulates milk production after parturition?

prolactin

what nutrients in the dog food was she testing to determine differences in IGF-1

protein

molecular components of cells that provide specificity for hormone-cell interaction

receptors

ACTH

Adenylate cyclase is an enzyme that converts:

ATP to cAMP

if blood calcium gets very high, like after binging o cheese and yogurt, which hormone is released to cause bone resorption to stop (thus preventing release of calcium from the bone)?

Calcitonin

regulatory proteins that are components of transduction of signals are called:

G proteins

list the 6 hormones produced in the anterior pituitary and the releasing hormone or inhibiting hormone (or both) from the hypothalamus for each
