BIO 202 Study Guide - Final Guide: Follicle-Stimulating Hormone, Adrenal Gland, Carotid Sinus
Document Summary
Biology 202 human anatomy & physiology ii. Discuss the two primary mechanisms of action of endocrine gland hormones. Discuss the effects of somatotropin on the metabolism of macromolecules. Include in your discussion the control of its secretion and what pathologies result from an abnormal (either too high or too low) rate of secretion. Describe the events involved in the formation, storage, processing, and subsequent release of thyroid hormone. Each adrenal gland can be thought of as two independently functioning, yet synergistic, glands. Discuss this statement in anatomical and endocrinological terms. Discuss the role of releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones and be able to diagram a negative feedback system. Be able to diagram and explain the functioning of the hypothalamic-hypophyseal portal system. Discuss the effect of growth hormone (somatotropin) on protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Discuss the structural and functional differences between the adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla.
