What is the function of the endocrine system? - CORRECT ANSWER-Control
functions of other systems in the body to maintain physiologic homeostasis
How is the endocrine system controlled? - CORRECT ANSWER-By nerve
impulses, neurotransmitters, and the hormones produced by itself
Describe the overall steps of endocrine communication - CORRECT ANSWER-1.
Starts w/stimulation -- usually a change in internal/external environment
,2. Endocrine cells produce hormones
3. The signal (hormone) travels through blood circulation
4. The hormone reaches a target cell w/receptors for the hormone
5. Ligand binds to receptor
6. Creates a signal transduction
7. Signal transduction leads to a physiologic response
What can endocrine cells be stimulated by? - CORRECT ANSWER-Homeostatic
changes in biomolecules and minerals in the plasma (Na, K, Ca, GLU, etc)
What are the 3 functional anatomical elements of the endocrine system? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Primary Endocrine Glands
Accessory Endocrinocytes all over the body systems
Hormones
By other hormones (example hypothalamic hormones and pituitary hormones
By nerve impulses and neurotransmitters
,By immune responses ---pro/anti inflammatory cytokines
What is the difference between Endocrine and Exocrine glands? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Endocrine --closed--release hormones into the bloodstream
Exocrine--open--release hormones directly onto body surfaces/cavities
What are the main endocrine glands?
What is a defining feature of all these glands? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Hypothalamus
Pituitary Gland
Pineal Gland
They are neuroendocrine glands --contain both endocrine and nervous tissues
What are the secondary endocrine glands? Why are they called secondary? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Thyroid
, Parathyroid
Thymus
Adrenals
Pancreas
Ovaries
Testis
These glands are controlled by the main glands. They produce the terminal
hormones
What is an example of a mixed gland? - CORRECT ANSWER-Pancreas
Has both exocrine and endocrine functions
