THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
Hormonal, Humoral and Neural Control? Examples of each?
What is negative feedback? Thermostat example. Many hormones work this way.
Major hormones of pituitary gland
Anterior: GH, ACTH, TSH, many others
Posterior: ADH and oxytocin
Differences between release from anterior and posterior pituitary?
How does the hypothalamic-pituitary connection work?
Major hormones of adrenal gland:
Adrenal cortex: Aldosterone (Na+ retension), cortisol (stress)
Adrenal medulla: epinephrine (adrenaline, fight-flight), norepinephrine
Water-soluble vs. lipid soluble hormones â where are the receptors for each?
Know the roles and mechanism of release of each major hormones weâve discussed: GH, ACTH, insulin, glucagon, leptin, ADH, oxytocin, etc. (not all are listed here)
How does the thyroid make TH? Whats the difference between T3/T4? Why is iodine important in this process?
Understand up and down-regulation of a hormone and how it relates to hormone receptors
THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
What are all the different components that make up blood? (plasma, erythrocytes, etc.)
What is the cardiac cycle? What are the different steps and how do they match up with an ECG (P wave, QRS wave, T wave)?
KNOW THE WIGGERS DIAGRAM â be able to describe all the different steps of the cardiac cycle, including blood pressure changes, blood volume changes, valve changes, etc.
What is the major function of hemoglobin?
What is the major difference between cardiac muscle cells and
Where are the baroreceptors of the cardio system located? What do baroreceptors detect?
Understand resistance, vessel diameter, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in relation to blood flow. How are flow and pressure different?
What cranial nerve(s) are responsible for parasympathetic and sympathetic innervation to the heart?
What is a capillary fenestration? And what is its significance in terms of different organâs blood flow levels?
What is erythropoiesis? In what conditions does this occur and what does it affect?
