31
Q

What are the three ways that the hypothalamus controls the release of hormones?

35
Q

An intercellular signal that attaches to a membrane bound receptor is a _____ _____ hormone.

A

water soluble

36
Q

An intercellular signal will bind to an _______ receptor if the hormone is lipid soluble.

A

Intracellular (within a cell)

37
Q

Intercellular signals are lipid _____ while intracellular signals are lipid _____.

A

insoluble, soluble

38
Q

What 3 things can happen when an intercellular chemical signal binds to a membrane bound receptor?

A

It can change in membrane permeability, it can activate G-Protein Complexes and lead to intracellular signals, and it can directly alter enzymes in the cell.

39
Q

List the four intracellular chemical signals and their abbreviations:

A

cAMP=cyclic AMP, DAG=diacylglycerol, IP3=inosotol triphosphate, and Ca2+

40
Q

What does a “change in membrane permeability” mean?

A

the protein changes shape and allows for the passage of materials through the membrane

41
Q

When a hormone binds to a G-protein complex, the ___ replaced ___ on the alpha subunit. This activates the G-protein and creates an _____-cellular signal and attaches to an _____.

A

GTP, GDP, intra, enzyme

42
Q

When the activated G-Protein attaches to _____ _____, an enzyme, it converts one ___ into cAMP. cAMP then attaches to and activates protein kinase ___. So what is cAMPs purpose?

44
Q

DAG attaches to protein kinase ___ and IP3 attaches to _____ _____, causing calcium ions to be released. The calcium can then:
