What is it called when one hormone opposes the action of another hormone?
Student Performance Objectives - for the lecture Show Lesson Outline 1. Ductless glands produce hormones- While exocrine glands have a duct through which the gland's product reaches its destination (e.g., the parotid salivary gland secretes saliva through Stensen's duct into the mouth; the lacrimal gland secretes tears through the lacrimal duct onto the eye's surface), endocrine glands have no ducts - they are ductless glands. They secrete their products, called hormones, into the interstitial fluid surrounding the gland. From there the hormone diffuses into the blood and is carried throughout the body. B. Hormonal Classification - most hormones fall into the following six classes. Some specific hormonal examples are given with a brief idea of the wide-range of activities of these hormones. C. Hormonal-Cell interactions D. Feedback, negative and positive - When the body receives a signal (input signal), there is a response - the output signal. We call any activity of the body a parameter. If we are measuring body temperature, then body temperature is the parameter. If we are measuring blood sodium concentration (level), then blood sodium level is the parameter. All body parameters have a normal range of values (e.g., body temperature is 37 1 C). We will utilize this terminology to explain negative and positive feedback in the endocrine system. F. Endocrine glands in the neck and their secretions F. Endocrine glands in the thoracic cavity and their secretions G. Endocrine glands in the abdominopelvic cavity and their secretions. Biomedical Terminology: Define each term: ACTH Endocrine System Problems 1. Choose one of the problems described below. Problem #1: A nineteen year old college student regularly experiences anxiety, abdominal bloating, craving for sugary foods, and mild depression during the 2 weeks prior to menstruation. She also regularly experiences cramping during the first 2 days of menstruation. Her doctor recommends hormone pills to relieve the pre-menstrual symptoms as well as pain medication for the menstrual cramping. Utilize the Internet to research the pros and cons of hormonal therapy for PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome) and alternatives for such hormonal therapy. Problem #2: A 45 year old female, 5'4" and 220 lbs., experiencing low energy levels, periods of dizziness, and knee pain, decides to see her doctor. Examination reveals hypertension, elevated blood sugar, elevated total cholesterol levels, elevated triglycerides, and elevated blood insulin levels. Her doctor's diagnosis is diabetes mellitus Type II and she is initially placed on "oral insulin" and after a year with marginal sign and symptom relief, she begins injecting insulin. She receives some benefit but indicates she does not feel a sense of well-being. Utilize the Internet to answer the following questions: What is a synergistic hormone?A hormone is said to have a synergistic effect on the action of a second hormone when it enhances the responsiveness of a target organ to the second hormone or when it increases the activity of the second hormone.
What hormones have opposing effects?Insulin and glucagon are hormones that have antagonistic effects. Both these hormones are created by the beta and the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas.
When one hormone opposes the action of another hormone it is called a n quizlet?When one hormone opposes the action of another hormone it is called a(n) antagonistic effect.
