BIOL 1104 1st EditionExam # 4 Study Guide LecturesEndocrine- Job-maintain ECF (extracellular fluid, ISF-interstitial fluid)-homeostasis- Plasma+cells=blood- Hormone-molecule that is carried by the blood to a target to cause an effecto Target-effector that has a receptor to a specific hormoneo 2 kinds Protein-water soluble, receptor on cell surface Steroid-fat soluble, intracellular receptor (diffuses through membrane)- Germ layers-controlled differentlyo Ectoderm-nervous and dermal tissueo Endoderm-secretory/neuroendocrine- Glands o Nervous-hypothalamus, posterior pituitary, adrenal medullao Endocrine-thyroid, anterior pituitary, parathyroid, adrenal cortex, pancreas, ovary/testes- Pituitaryo Posterior-neural-cell bodies of neurons that are in the hypothalamus produce hormones. They project into the post. pituitary. They release hormones directly into the blood here.o Anterior-endocrine-neurons in the hypothalamus release tropic hormones into a capillary system at the blood brain barrier. They turn into arteries and then back into capillaries at the anterior pituitary. This is called a portal system. These hormones cause the release of different hormones into the capillaries which thengo to their targets.- Composite glands: glands that have both neural and endocrine componentso Examples: adrenals and pituitary- Hormoneso Aldosterone-regulate K/Na o Cortisol-regulate sugar- Posterior pituitary hormoneso AVP=ADH=antidiuretic hormone: target kidney, reduce urine production by retaining water. Increase in blood osmolality causes release of ito OXY=oxytocin: smooth muscle contraction of mammary glands and uterus- Anterior pituitary hormoneso Hypothalamus->ant.pit->target->negative feedbacko GHRH (growth hormone releasing hormone)-> GH (growth hormone)->liver ->IGF1o TRH (thyroid releasing hormone)->TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone)->thyroid ->thermogenesis and thyroxine (TH) (needs iodine)o GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone)->LH/FSH->ovary/testes ->estrogen/testosteroneo CRH (corticotropin releasing hormone)->ACTH (adrenocorticotropin releasing hormone)->adrenal cortex->cortisolo PRH (prolactin releasing hormone)->Prolactin->breast->milk letdown- Organso Adrenals Epinephrine and norepinephrine has various targets- Fight/flight, positive feedback, direct nerve innervation Cortisol has various targets- Increase glucose and decrease inflammationo Pancreas Insulin targets liver and muscle- Decrease blood sugar by uptake and turns into glycogen Glucagon targets liver and fat cells- Increase blood sugar by release, breakdown of glycogeno Parathyroid target bone and kidney Parathyroid hormone increases blood calcium- Needed for muscle contraction, nerves, and nerves Calcitonin decreases blood calcium (rare)o Sex organs Androgens released from testes to various targets Estrogen and progesterone from ovaries to various targetsNervous system- Excitability-develop and propagate action potentials (nerves and muscles)- Terms o Voltage (V)-potential energyo Potential (mV)-voltage difference between two points o Current (I)-movement of chargeo Resistance (R)-stop charge movemento Insulator-increases resistance (lipids like myelin)o Conductor-decrease resistance (water, ions)- Resting membrane potential-voltage difference across the membrane o Due to potassium (leaky K channels)o Inside is more negative than outsideo K is more concentrated inside and Na is more concentrated outsideo -70mV- Na/K pumpo Pumps ions against their concentration to reestablish resting membrane potential (Na out and K in)- Action potentialo -70mV: All gates closed except leaky K channelso -50mV: threshold: Na gates open Positive feedback causes more Na channels to openo ~40mV: Na gates close and K gates open Positive feedback causes more K gates to open Absolute refractory period-action potentials can’t fireo -90mV: K channels are slow to close so hyperpolarizing occurso -70mV: Na/K pump has restored RMP- Parts of neuronso Dendrites receive information, cell body, axon, axon terminals, synaptic clefo Neurons make up 10% of brain. Glial cells (support cells) are the rest.o Nodes of ranvier: gaps in myelin along neurons Salutatory conduction-electricity jumps nodeso Speed due to diameter of neurons and degree of myelination Multiple sclerosis is due to a degeneration of myelin which causes misfiring of neuronso Afferent-to CNS, efferent-to effector, interneurons- Graded potentialso These occur only in the dendrites. o Amplitude modulated-amount of ion flowing in determines amount of charge buildup (determined by amount of neurotransmitter (NT))o Yields frequency of action potentialso high amplitude makes high frequency makes high NT volume- Two divisions of nervous systemo Somatic-conscious, acetylcholine, skeletal muscle, excitatory, dual innervationo Autonomic-subconscious, NE and Ach, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, glands, reciprocal innervation Sympathetic-epinephrine and norepinephrine Parasympathetic-acetylcholineMuscles- Termso Ligament-attaches bone to boneo Tendon-attaches muscle to bone- Striated-due to sarcomereso Sarcomere-functional unit of the motor systemo Thin (actin) and thick (myosin) filaments- Somatic nervous system, acetylcholine- Myelinated- Neuromuscular junction: where nerves meet muscles- Motor unit: 1 motor neuron and all its innervated fiberso Large unit-lots of fibers-no fine movement but big force (thigh)o Small unit-few fibers-fine movement but small force (fingers)- Action potentialso Acetylcholine receptors at motor end plateo Na comes in which causes a Ca influx which causes contractiono Ach is inactivated at the synapse- Contractiono Sliding filament theory Sarcomere shortens, not the individual fibers thus causing the muscle to shorten and generate force Calcium allows actin to interact with myosin. ATP activates myosin. This causes contraction. ATP is also needed to relax the muscle.o Sarcoplasmic reticulum Stores Ca in the muscle cells ATP is needed to get Ca back into ito 1 action potential yields a long increase in Ca=twitcho Sustained contraction is called tetany. Calcium stays high.o Isotonic-force is greater than the loado Isometric-load is great than the forceo Muscle fatigue happens when there is no ATP so the muscle can’t relax which causes a cramp.Cardiovascular- Arteries maintain pressure during heart relax due to arterial elastic recoil.- Arterioles regulate pressure and veins regulate volume.-
