Document Summary
Stimulates the reabsoprtion of water, na and loss of k in urine. Non-tropic hormone: targets cells, causes a direct effect. Amino acid derivatives: modified aa: tyrosine, tryptophan, glutamic acid. Peptide hormones: strings of aa in peptide bond: lipid derivatives: modified fa or cholesterol. Intercalated discs: form strong junctions between cardiac cells: allows for immediaate transmission of signals between one cardiac cell to another. Pulmonary circuit: **right side** supplies blood to lungs: deoxygenated blood away from the right ventricle, to the lungs, return oxygenated blood to the left atrium and ventricle. Systemic circuit: **left side** supplies body (aorta: oxygenated blood from the left ventricle goes into the arteries, capillaries, tissues, tissue capillaries, deoxygenated blood returns through the veins to the right atrium. Arteries: blood away from the heart: more elastic, more muscular, distributes blood to the body, have thicker walls, turnica media.
