Animal Hormones And The Endocrine System

Front 1

Autocrine

Back 1

Affects the cell that released the hormone

Front 2

Paracrine

Back 2

Affects target cells near the release site

Front 3

Circulating Hormone

Back 3

Diffuses into the blood stream and can activate target cells far from the release site

Front 4

Peptide Hormones

Back 4

Water Soluble Only
ADH(Aquaporins)
Oxytocin
Insulin

Front 5

Steroid Hormones

Back 5

Fat Soluble Only, and must be transported by a carrier protein in the blood.
Testosterone
Estrogen

Front 6

Amine Hormones

Back 6

Water and Fat Soluble
Adrenaline, Epinephrine

Front 7

Hormone Receptors

Back 7

Water Soluble Hormones: Receptors on the outside of the cell
Fat Soluble Hormones: Receptors on the inside of the cell

Front 8

Posterior Pituitary Gland

Back 8

Stores and secretes ADH and Oxytocin, which is made in the hypothalamus. It is controlled by the hypothalamus

Front 9

Anterior Pituitary Gland

Back 9

Synthesizes multiple hormones.Tropic and non tropic hormones

Front 10

Tropic Hormones

Back 10

Control other endocrine glands

Front 11

Non-Tropic Hormones

Back 11

Directly affect target cells

Front 12

Digestion Hormones

Back 12

Gastrin: Causes the stomach to move and release secretions
Secretin: pancreas releases bicarbonate ion solution
Cholecystokinin: Gall bladder releases bile

Front 13

Islets of Langerhans

Back 13

Beta Cells: Produce Insulin, uptake glucose and store as glycogen
Alpha Cells: Produce Glucagon, liver breaks down glycogen to glucose for use.
Delta Cells: Produce Somatostatin, slows digestive activity.

Front 14

Adrenal Glands

Back 14

Medulla (inside)-Epinepherine for short term exertion
Cortex (outside)-Glucocorticords-long term stress (increases salt and water storage, raises blood sugar and pressure)
