types of cells: chromophilic and chromophobic. Identify this organ:
O Hypothalamus
O Adrenal glands
O Thyroid gland
O Hypophysis

Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland fails to
produce adequate amounts crucial hormones. In the early stages,
persons suffering from this condition may be asymptomatic. However,
chronic hypothyroidism may show signs of paleness. Please explain the
physiological reasons for this symptomatology.

- An area called the diencephalon includes the thalamus, which serves as an integrating center for sensory input. Immediately below it, is the _8__ which is critically important for helping us maintain homeostasis. The pituitary gland, which is sometimes referred to as the “master gland” of the endocrine system attaches to this structure by a stalk-like connection, but it is not visible in the specimen we’re looking at.arrow_forwardIdentify which of the following hormones characteristically regulates the activity of the cell whose nucleus is marked by the arrow in the two images below? (A) luteinizing hormone (B) gonadotropin-releasing hormone (C) 5-alpha-reductase (D) follicle-stimulating hormone (E) inhibinarrow_forwardWhy are the eicosanoids often called “local hormones”?arrow_forward
- Thyroid hormone is produced within spherical shape structures in the thyroid gland known as 3. 1_ _ _This structure consists of an outer layer of 3.2 epithelial cells and an inner section known-as 3.3___ . This inner section is filled with 3.4 ____ that is synthesised and secreted by-the cells and contains many tyrosine residues. Within this inner section, organification occurs when 3. 5 ____ molecules attach to these tyrosine residues forming either 3. 6____ (with one molecule attacl1ed) or 3. 7____(with two molecules attached). Through coupling, T3 and T4 are also formed. Of these two hormones;- 3. 8 ____is less potent but forms approximately 93% of the metabolically active hormones secreted the thyroid gland.arrow_forwardWhat is technical term for the cells of the pancreas that produce endocrine hormones?arrow_forwardSuppose that the circulating concentration of hor-mone is 10–10 M and the Kd for binding to its receptor is 10–8M. What fraction of the receptors will have hormone bound?If a meaningful physiological response occurs when 50% ofthe receptors have bound a hormone molecule, how muchwill the concentration of hormone have to rise to elicit aresponse? The fraction of receptors (R) bound to hormone(H) to form a receptor–hormone complex (R–H) is [R–H]/([R] + [R–H]) = [R–H]/[R]TOT = [H]/([H] + Kd).arrow_forward
- Long-loop feedback does not exist for prolactin. Explain why?arrow_forwardHormone release and regulation is a complex interplay of control systems, feedback pathways and the concentration of circulating substances. Demonstrate your understanding of how negative feedback systems work by considering what would happen if the usual mechanisms no longer applied. You may like to think about an ectopic source of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), as secreted from a small cell carcinoma of the lung, as an example. In your explanation of how negative feedback systems can be derailed, describe how hormone/s released from the target endocrine organ usually regulate the feedback loop.arrow_forwardA certain peptide hormone is produced in the anterior pituitary gland located at the base of the mammalian brain. The hormone targets specific cells in many parts of the body. Which of the following best explains a possible mechanism that would allow the hormone to reach all of the target cells in the body? A B с D The hormone diffuses into target cells adjacent to the anterior pituitary gland and dif- fuses through their cell membrane. The hormone moves through plasmodesmata between cells until it has reached all cells with the correct intracellular binding sites. The hormone interacts with neurons at the base of the brain and directs signals to the target cells through the neuronal network. The hormone is released into the bloodstream, where it is transported to all cells with the correct receptors.arrow_forward
- Hormones are often synthesized and stored in an inactiveform within secretory vesicles. Secretion usually occurs onlywhen the hormone-producing cell is stimulated. Explain theadvantages that this process has over making the hormonemolecules as they are needed.arrow_forwardSelect the best answer or answers from the choices given: Choose from the following key to identify the hormones described.arrow_forwardYour friend Bud has the talent to be a star basketball center—if only he weren’t 5 foot 8. Being well- intentioned but ignorant, you start injecting him with growth hormone as he sleeps each night. You. think this is a clever strategy, but after a time you notice that he hasn’t grown an inch. Instead, his jaw and forehead seem to have gotten disproportionately large and his hands and feet are swollen. Explain why the growth hormone didn’t make Bud grow taller and why it had the effect it did. What disease state do these changes mimic?arrow_forward
