Flashcards
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
A hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland, responsible for stimulating the development of ovarian follicles in females and sperm production in males.
Where are steroid hormone receptors located?
Where are steroid hormone receptors located?
Steroid hormones bind to receptors located within the cytoplasm of target cells.
What type of hormone activates second messengers?
What type of hormone activates second messengers?
Second messengers are signaling molecules activated in response to peptide hormones, not steroid or thyroid hormones.

Study Notes
Hormone Receptors and Actions
- FSH and HCG are hormones.
- Steroid hormone receptors are located within the cytoplasm.
- Peptide hormones activate second messengers.
- Receptors for steroid hormones are located in the cytoplasm.
Pituitary Hormones
- Melanocyte-stimulating hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and growth hormone are released by the anterior pituitary.
- Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone is not released by the anterior pituitary.
- Adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce hormones.
Hormone Actions and Target Tissues
- Parathyroid hormone maintains adequate calcium levels in the blood.
- Aldosterone stimulates sodium reabsorption in the kidneys.
- Type 1 diabetes can be caused by a lack of beta cells or functional insulin receptors in the body.
- Type 1 diabetes cannot be managed by diet and exercise alone.
- Individuals with type 1 diabetes may lack beta cells or have non-functional insulin receptors.
Calcium Homeostasis
- Calcitonin, parathyroid hormone, and 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol are vital for calcium homeostasis.
- Glucagon is not a major player in calcium balance.
- Monitoring extracellular calcium levels is a crucial aspect of the parathyroid's role.
- Inhibiting osteoclast activity can help normalize high extracellular calcium levels.
- Calcitonin and parathyroid hormone have opposing effects on extracellular calcium.
- 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol and parathyroid hormone have opposing effects on extracellular calcium.
