1. Muscles acting on the humerus
- ANSWER latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major
2. Luteinizing hormone (LH) is synthesized and secreted by....
And targets....
3. Gonadotrophs
- ANSWER Targets the ovaries and testes to trigger ovulation and secretion of
testosterone
4. Hormones
- ANSWER substances secreted by glands and secretory cells that act as a
messenger
5. Exocrine glands
- ANSWER the glands that secrete substances on the body surface through a
duct
6. Endocrine glands
- ANSWER ductless glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products
and hormones directly into the blood
7. Secretory cells
- ANSWER functional units of the endocrine system most often stimulated by
a nervous or hormonal signal
,8. Muscles of the back
- ANSWER Erector Spinae: Iliocostalis Cervicis/thoracis/lumborum,
Longissimus capitis/cervicis/thoracis, Spinalis capitis/cervicis/thoracis.
Transversospinalis: Multifidus, semispinalis capitis/cervicis/thoracis
Superficial: Seratus posterior superior/inferior
9. Chemical messengers
- ANSWER move inside the body, taking charge of various activities
10. Target cells
- ANSWER cell selectively affected by a particular agent, such as a virus, drug,
or hormone
11. Homeostasis
- ANSWER an organism's process of maintaining a stable internal environment
suitable for sustaining life
12. Water-soluble hormones
- ANSWER affect cells by binding to receptors on the surface of the target cell
13. Lipid-soluble hormones
- ANSWER are lipophilic and dissolve in fats rather than in water; usually
formed from cholesterol
14. Cell surface receptor
- ANSWER act in cell signaling by receiving (binding to) extracellular molecules
15. Intracellular receptors
- ANSWER are activated by cell-permeant or lipophilic signaling molecules
16. Transport proteins
- ANSWER proteins that help in the movement of lipid-soluble hormones
,17. Plasma membrane receptors
- ANSWER specialized protein molecules that are either attached to or
integrated into the cell membrane and facilitate communication between the cell
and the extracellular environment
18. Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) action
- ANSWER Stimulates HGH secretion from somatotrophs.
19. Second messenger
- ANSWER intracellular signaling molecules and ions that send signals from
receptors to targets within a cell
20. Transmembrane protein
- ANSWER an integral membrane protein that acts as a mediator between
cells and the outside world
cytosol
the fluid part of the matrix of the cytoplasm, which is part of the signal
transduction between the cell membrane and the nucleus and organelles
Muscles of the pelvic floor
Deep: levator ani: coccygeus (male)
Middle: deep transverse perineal, sphincter urethrae, external anal sphincter
Superficial: ischiocavernosus, bulbospongiosus, superficial transverse perineal
receptor activation
the activation of a hormone-receptor complex that can change the gene
expression in a nucleus
translation
the process by which new proteins are produced from amino acids from the
genetic code carried by messenger RNA (mRNA)
, secondary hormone
permissive hormones that promote the effect of a hormone
primer
a molecule that is required for the formation of another molecule
enzyme
a protein cellular molecule that acts as a biological catalyst
blocking agonist binding
the binding of hormone receptors by antagonists hormones
hormone-receptor bond
the bond by which hormones bind a receptor protein within the cytoplasm of the
cell or within the cell membrane of the target cell
neural stimuli
triggering or stimulation of the endocrine glands by nerve fibers to produce
hormones
humoral stimuli
triggering or stimulation of the endocrine glands to produce hormones due to
changes in the chemical composition of blood
hormonal stimuli
triggering or stimulation of the endocrine glands to produce hormones in
response to regulatory hormones released by other endocrine glands
pituitary gland (hypophysis)
pea-sized structure located below the thalamus; structurally and functionally
divided into anterior and posterior lobes;
secondary hypophyseal plexus
the primary capillary plexus that supplies blood to the median eminence
