NURS 6501 Endocrine
Autocrine - Answer Control in a cell
Paracrine - Answer Control / communication between local cells
Endocrine - Answer control/ communication between cells that are far from each other
Hormone secretion pattern - Answer a) Diurnal b) pulsatile and cyclic c) Patterns that
depend on levels of circulating substrates
ELISA - Answer Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay: used to determine circulating
hormone levels.
a technique used to detect antibodies or infectious agents in a sample. Antibodies are
made in response to infection and so an antibody ELISA can indicate whether or not an
animal has been in contact with a certain virus.
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) - Answer Anterior pituitary
Stimulates release of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): modulates prolactin secretion
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) - Answer Anterior Pituitary
Simulates release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)
Somatostatin - Answer Anterior Pituitary
Inhibits release of growth hormone (GH) and TSH
Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) - Answer Anterior Pituitary
Stimulates release of GH
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) - Answer Anterior Pituitary
Stimulates the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and Beta-Endorphin
Substance P - Answer Anterior Pituitary
Inhibits synthesis and release of ACTH; Stimulates secretion of GH, FSH, LH, and
prolactin
Prolactin-hinhibiting factor (PIF, dopamine) - Answer Anterior Pituitary
Inhibits synthesis and secretion of prolactin
Prolactin-releasing factor (PFR) - Answer Anterior Pituitary
Stimulates secretion of prolactin
Somatopause - Answer a gradual and progressive decrease in growth hormone
secretion that occurs normally with increasing age during adult life and is associated
with an increase in adipose tissue and LDL levels and a decrease in lean body mass
SIADH - Answer syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone
-hypoatremia caused by hemodilution, treated with fluid restriction
