16
Q

ACTH

A

adrenocorticotropic stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce and secrete glucocorticoids

17
Q

GH

A

Growth hormone cell growth and cell division and this affects most body cells

18
Q

MSH

A

melanocyte stimulating hormone regulates the distribution of melanocytes in the skin

19
Q

What are the 3 types of hormones

A

Steroid
Protein
Biogenic amines (monomines)

20
Q

Do steroid proteins need a carrier protein

A

yes, they are hydrophobic

21
Q

Protein hormones

A

chains of amino acids
most hormones are in this group
Hydrophillic

22
Q

Do protein hormones need a carrier protein

A

no, their half life is short

23
Q

Are protein hormones able to enter the target cell

A

no, they must bind to the receptors in the cell membrane of the target cell and this initiates the appearance of a 2 messanger in the cytoplasm

24
Q

What are biogenic amines derived from

A

tyrosine or tryptophan.

25
Q

What hormones do the hypothalamus produce?

A

TRH, PRH, PIH, GnRH, CRH, GHRH Anpit

OT and ADH are store in the post pit
