Document Summary

All tissues of body may be exposed, but only those with. Large proteins or glycoproteins on surface of target cells. Recognize and bind to specific hormones -> responsible for specificity of the endocrine system. If hormone levels too low, receptor up-regulation (look at image) **mechanism of homeostatic control of hormone levels: types of intercellular communication, endocrine signaling. Hormones diffuse into bloodstream -> target cells. Variety of cells that produce and secrete local regulators. Paracrine = target cells near secreting cells. Autocrine = target cells are secreting cells. Neurons form synapses (specialized junctions) with target cells. Neurotransmitters - signaling molecule produced by neurons -> diffuse across synapse and bind to receptors on target cells. Neurosecretory cells = specialized neurons that secrete hormones. Diffuse from nerve cell endings into bloodstream. Target = other individuals of same species. Functions: define territory, warning of predators, attraction of mates. Signaling molecules: types of signals, fatty acids. Dilates blood vessels in penis for erection.

2 points

QUESTION 2

Nuclear hormone receptors _____

	a.	Bind to water soluble ligands
	b.	Activate second messengers
	c.	Regulate transcription in response to ligand binding
	d.	Are normally located on the plasma membrane

2 points

QUESTION 3

	a.	Phosphorylation of the RTK
	b.	Cytoplasmic proteins bind the phosphorylated RTK
	c.	Dimerization of the RTK
	d.	The RTK binds to DNA to regulate transcription

2 points

QUESTION 4

Which of these is a logical signal-transduction pathway?

	a.	An intracellular receptor activates phospholipase C, which cleaves a membrane protein to form IP₃, which then activates the opening of an ER channel protein, which releases cyclic AMP into the cytoplasm, where it binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	b.	A G-protein-linked receptor activates G protein, which activates phospholipase C, which cleaves a membrane lipid to form IP₃, which binds to a calcium channel on the ER, which opens to release calcium ions into the cytoplasm, which bind to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	c.	An ion-channel receptor opens, allowing a steroid hormone to enter the cell; the steroid hormone then activates protein kinases that convert GTP to GDP, which binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	d.	A tyrosine-kinase receptor activates adenylyl cyclase, which activates phospholipase C, which converts ATP into cyclic AMP, which binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.

		It would not be able to activate and inactivate the G protein on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane.
		It would employ a transduction pathway directly from an external messenger.
		It would be able to carry out reception and transduction but would not be able to respond to a signal.

QUESTION 10

A hormone signal is sent from the brain to other parts of the body via the bloodstream. Why do only certain cells respond to this signal?

		Hormones do not last long enough in the bloodstream to stimulate a cellular response
		Only cells that have a specific transcription factor gene will be able to respond to the signal
		Only cells in the immediate vicinity of the cell sending the signal will respond
		Only cells that have a receptor for the specific signal will be able to respond to it
