with intracellular receptors? - Answer Steroids
Name the class of hormones that circulate unbound to protein, bind to cell membrane
surface receptors, and stimulate another messenger system in the target cell. - Answer
Protein/polypeptides
Name the class of proteins that circulate bound to proteins (and sometimes freely) and
bind to cell membrane receptors to stimulate another messenger system in the target
cell. - Answer Amino acid-derived
_____ from hypothalamus stimulates pituitary to produce _____, which stimulates adrenal
cortex to make steroid hormones (such as cortisol). - Answer CRH
(corticotropin-releasing hormone), ACTH
Steroids are synthesized from _______. - Answer Cholesterol
Cortisol, aldosterone, testosterone, and estradiol are all a type of ____. - Answer steroid
What would the term be called for a disorder when the cause is due to medical
treatment (ex: wrong dose given)? - Answer Iatrogenic
Relative hypersecretion of ADH = likely ________. - Answer dehydration
What is "Syndrome of Inappropriate ADH" (SIADH)? - Answer When ADH is elevated
even though serum osmolality and blood volume is NL (can be due to tumors producing
,ADH, or due to drugs)
panhypopituitarism-? Answer Problem with the anterior pituitary with decreased levels
of all the pituitary hormones. an be due to tumors, surgery, SHEEHAN SYNDROM,
SIMMOND'S disease, etc.

hemorrhage (a clot breaks off and migrates to pituitary gland -> hypoxic). Results in
failure to lactate due to decreased levels of prolactin and failure to resume menses
postpartum.

The colloid found within the thyroid is surrounded by what cells and consists mainly of
______. - Answer Thyroglobulin
Which cells cluster along the interfollicular spaces in the thyroid, help regulate Ca,
Phos, and produce calcitonin? - Answer Parafollicular cells (C cells)
