TYPES OF INTERCELLULAR COMMUNICATION DIRECT COMMUNICATION SYNAPTIC COMMUNICATION AUTOCRINE COMMUNICATION PARACRINE COMMUNICATION ENDOCRINE COMMUNICATION – online.com/objects/index_tj.asp?objid=AP137 04

DIRECT COMMUNICATION GAP JUNCTIONS CYTOPLASM TO CYTOPLASM IONS SMALL MOLECULES IN SOLUTION LIPID SOLUBLE MOLECULES LIMITED TO ADJACENT CELLS

SYNAPTIC COMMUNICATION NEUROTRANSMITTERS SYNAPTIC CLEFTS LIMITED TO SPECIFIC AREAS

LOCAL CHEMICAL MESSENGERS AUTOCRINE PARACRINE

ENDOCRINE COMMUNICATION TARGET CELLS THROUGHOUT BODY HORMONES CARRIED IN CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NERVOUS AND ENDOCRINE SYSTEMS NERVOUS ENDOCRINE FREQUENCY- MODULATED SIGNALS FASTER ACTING SHORT DURATION GENERALLY LESS DISTRIBUTED AMPLITUDE- MODULATED SIGNALS LONGER ACTING LONGER DURATION GENERALLY MORE WIDELY DISTRIBUTED

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENDOCRINE AND NERVOUS CANNOT BE SEPARATED ANATOMICALLY OR FUNCTIONALLY NEURONS INNERVATE ENDOCRINE GLANDS SOME NEURONS SECRETE NEUROHORMONES INTO BLOOD SOME HORMONES AFFECT NERVOUS SYSTEM

TYPES OF MESSENGERS AMINO ACID DERIVATIVES PEPTIDE HORMONES LIPID DERIVATIVES

AMINO ACID DERIVATIVES SIMILAR TO AMINO ACIDS BIOGENIC AMINES CATECHOLAMINES –EPINEPHRINE –NOREPINEPHRINE –DOPAMINE THYROID HORMONE MELATONIN

PEPTIDE HORMONES CHAINS OF AMINO ACIDS SHORT PEPTIDE CHAINS

EICOSANOIDS LIPID DERIVATIVES OF ARACHIDONIC ACID LEUKOTRIENES PROSTAGLANDINS THROMBOXANES PROSTACYCLINES

HORMONE REGULATION HORMONE SECRETION INCREASES AND DECREASES USUALLY CONTROLLED BY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK

MECHANISMS OF CONTROL ACTION OF SUBSTANCES OTHER THAN HORMONES NEURAL CONTROL OF ENDOCRINE GLAND ACTIVITY OF ONE ENDOCRINE GLAND CONTROLLED BY HORMONES FROM ANOTHER

ACTION OF SUBSTANCES OTHER THAN HORMONES CONCENTRATION OF GLUCOSE IN BLOOD AFFECTS INSULIN AND GLUCAGON SECRETION CONCENTRATION OF CALCIUM IN BLOOD AFFECTS CALCITONIN AND PARATHYROID HORMONE SECRETION

CONTROL OF INSULIN SECRETION BY BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS ELEVATED BLOOD LEVELS OF GLUCOSE STIMULATE INSULIN SECRETION INSULIN ACTS ON TARGET TISSUES TO INCREASE UPTAKE AND USE OF GLUCOSE DECLINING BLOOD LEVELS OF GLUCOSE LEAD TO A DECREASE IN INSULIN PRODUCTION

CONTROL OF ADRENAL MEDULLARY SECRETIONS BY NEURAL MECHANISMS STRESS ACTIVATES SYMPATHETIC DIVISION OF THE ANS SYMPATHETIC NEURONS STIMULATE RELEASE OF EPINEPHRINE AND NOREPINEPHRINE FROM ADRENAL MEDULLA WHEN STRESS IS REMOVED EPINEPHRINE AND NOREPINEPHRINE LEVELS DECLINE

HORMONES CAN STIMULATE OR INHIBIT SECRETON OF OTHER HORMONES

CONTROL OF THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE BY THYROID RELEASING HORMONE TRH IS RELEASED BY NEURONS IN HYPOTHALAMUS STIMULATES RELEASE OF TSH FROM ANTERIOR PITUITARY TSH STIMULATES SECRETION OF THRYOID HORMONE FROM THYROID CONTROLLED BY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK

HORMONES MAY BE CONTROLLED BY ONE OR MORE OF THESE MECHANISMS

POSITIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISMS ARE USED NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISMS LIMIT PROCESSES

MENSTRUAL CYCLE BEFORE OVULATION POSITIVE FEED BACK

MENSTRUAL CYCLE AFTER OVULATION NEGATIVE FEED BACK MECHANISMS

TRANSPORTATION OF HORMONES FREE STATE BOUND TO PLASMA PROTEINS THYROID BINDING GLOBULIN TRANSTHYRETIN ALBUMIN TRANSCORTIN

HORMONES TRANSPORTED IN BOUND FORM EQUILIBRIUM EXISTS BETWEEN FREE AND BOUND FORM PREVENTS LARGE INCREASES OR DECREASES IN HORMONE LEVELS

EXAMPLES THRYOID HORMONES ARE CARRIED BY THYROID BINDING GLOBULIN AND ALBUMIN PROGESTERONE IS CARRIED BY TRANSCORTIN AND ALBUMIN

DISTRIBUTION OF HORMONES WIDELY DISTRIBUTED DIFFUSE INTO INTERSTITIAL FLUIDS RATES OF DIFFUSION VARY

METABOLISM AND ELIMINATION OF HORMONES LIMITS TO LENGTH OF TIME HORMONES ARE ACTIVE ALLOWS MORE PRECISE REGULATION

HALF LIFE TIME IT TAKES FOR HALF A DOSE OF A SUBSTANCE TO BE ELIMINATED FROM CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

SHORT HALF LIFE HORMONES HORMONES WITH SHORT HALF LIVES INCREASE AND DECREASE RAPIDLY IN PLASMA WATER SOLUBLE HORMONES

LONG LIFE HORMONES HORMONES WITH LONG HALF LIVES HAVE RELATIVE STABLE LEVELS IN PLASMA STEROID HORMONES

FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE HALF LIFE OF HORMONES ELIMINATION –EXCRETION –METABOLISM –CONJUGATION –ACTIVE TRANSPORT CONSERVATION –PROTECTION FROM EXCRETION –PROTECTION FROM METABOLISM –PROTECTION BECAUSE OF HORMONE STRUCTURE

HORMONAL INTERACTIONS WITH TARGET CELLS HORMONES BIND TO TARGET CELL RECEPTORS ALTER RATE OF CELLULAR ACTIVITIES ACTIVATE OR INACTIVATE ENZYMES INCREASE OR DECREASE RATE OF SYNTHESIS OF MOLECULES IN CELLS CAUSES CHANGES CELL MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY

HORMONE RECEPTORS PROTEIN OR GLYCOPROTEIN EACH RECEPTOR HIGHLY SPECIFIC FOR ITS HORMONE A HORMONE MAY HAVE DIFFERENT RECEPTORS TARGET CELLS HAVE RECEPTORS- NONTARGET CELLS DO NOT

RECEPTORS AND DOWNREGULATION NUMBER OF RECEPTORS DECREASE AFTER EXPOSURE TO CERTAIN HORMONES RESPOND TO SHORT TERM INCREASES IN HORMONE CONCENTRATIONS

MECHANISMS OF DOWN REGULATION RECEPTOR SYNTHESIS DECREASES COMBINATION OF HORMONES AND RECEPTORS INCREASE RATE OF RECEPTOR MOLECULE DEGRADATION

RECEPTORS AND UP REGULATION SOME TISSUES EXHIBITG PERIODIC INCREASES IN SENSITIVITY TO CERTAIN HORMONES THE EXPOSURE OF A TISSUE TO ONE HORMONE INCREASES ITS SENSITIVITY TO ANOTHER

TYPES OF RECEPTORS MEMBRANE BOUND INTRACELLLULAR

MEMBRANE BOUND RECEPTORS WATER SOLUBLE HORMONES REVERSIBLE BINDING EQUILIBRIUM EXISTS

CHARACTERISTICS OF HOMONE RECEPTORS OF THE CELL MEMBRANE GENERALLY LARGE MOLECULES ALMOST ALWAYS HIGHLY SPECIFIC FOR SINGLE HORMONE INACTIVE WHEN HORMONE IS NOT BOUND TO IT
