5 Classes of Lipid & Water Soluble Hormones -Correct Answer-1. Steroid Hormones (L.S.) 2. Thyroid Hormones (L.S.) 3. Amine Hormones (W.S.)
4. Peptide & Protein Hormones (W.S.)
5. Eicosanoid Hormones (W.S.)
Steroid Hormones -Correct Answer-Lipid-soluble hormones derived from:
CHOLESTEROL Dietary Needs:
-good fats
-unrefined, complex carbs
Examples: cortisol, testosterone, progesterone, estrogen, DHEA, pregnenolone, aldosterone
Thyroid Hormones -Correct Answer-Lipid-soluble hormones derived from: IODINE ATOMS & TYROSINE Dietary Needs:
-iodine
-quality proteins
Examples: triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)
Amine Hormones -Correct Answer-Water-soluble hormones derived from: MODIFIED AMINO ACIDS Dietary Needs:
-quality proteins
Examples: catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine-- also neurotransmitters) Peptide and Protein Hormones -Correct Answer-Water-soluble hormones derived from:
CHAINS OF AMINO ACIDS
Dietary needs:
-quality proteins
Examples: HGH, insulin, glucagon, CCK, secretin, oxytocin, serotonin, gastrin
Eicosanoid Hormones -Correct Answer-Water-soluble hormones derived from:
FATTY ACIDS
Dietary needs:
-good fats
-EFAs (omega 3 and 6)
Examples: prostaglandins
State the Big Ideas for the Endocrine System -Correct Answer-1. Endocrine is a system of complex relationships. Always support the whole as well as the parts.
2. Respect the endocrine individuality of each client.
3. Always address the Foundations first.
How does the Foundation of Digestion support the Endocrine System? -Correct Answer-The north to south process of digestion must function optimally in order to break down all the macronutrients and micronutrients needed to make hormones.
1. Brain
2. Mouth (salivary glands) Bolus
