Study Notes
Hormone Receptors
- Receptors of protein hormones and adrenal medullary hormones are situated on the plasma membrane of target cells.
- Steroid hormones have receptors located in the cytoplasm of target cells.
Hormone Interactions
- The effect of two or more hormones working together to produce a particular result is called synergism.
- The Permissive Effect refers to when one hormone cannot produce its effect without the presence of another hormone.
Hormone Types
- Lipophilic or hydrophobic hormones are steroid hormones, which require receptors in the nucleus of the cell for their actions.
- Polypeptide hormones have receptors located on the plasma membrane of target cells and do not enter the cell.
- A common characteristic of polar (water-soluble) hormones is that they cannot cross the plasma membrane and bind to receptors on the surface of the cell.
Hormone Regulation
- The main difference between negative feedback and positive feedback in hormone secretion is that negative feedback reduces hormone secretion, while positive feedback increases hormone secretion.
Endocrine Glands and Hormones
- The pituitary gland is responsible for secreting Growth Hormone (GH) and Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
- Growth Hormone (GH) and Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are polypeptide hormones.
- The hormone that prevents water loss by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys is Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH).
- The pituitary gland secretes Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (MSH).
- Oxytocin is responsible for uterine contractions during childbirth and milk ejection during breastfeeding.
