What do you know about hormones?

Slide 9 - Mind map

Hormones
Chemical messengers that are secreted by hormone glands and transported with the blood. Therefore each hormone ends up everywhere in the body.
They connect to receptors on the cells of the target organ(s) and trigger a response.

Slide 10 - Slide

Hormone gland
Blood
Target organ
Produce and secrete the hormone. Can be far from target organ. They always produce small amounts.
Blood travels throughout the entire body, therefore the hormones will end up everywhere.
The cells of the target organ have receptors the hormones can bind to and trigger a response
Example:
Pancreas produces insuline



Transported everywhere in the body



Mainly liver and muscle cells to stimulate the uptake of glucose 

Slide 11 - Slide

How come organs don't respond to all hormones that pass by with the blood?

Slide 12 - Open question

Milou: hormones are transported through the blood
Rico: hormones pass on signals, because they connect to the cell membrane of certain cells
Who is right?
A
Milou
B
Rico
C
Both
D
Neither

Slide 13 - Quiz

Male hormone cycle

Slide 14 - Slide

Negative feedback
The hormone that is produced inhibits (decreases) its own production.
This creates a balance in hormone levels.

Testosterone inhibits the hypothalamus
and pituitary gland which slows down its
own production

Slide 15 - Slide

Which hormone(s) is/are produced in this organ?
A
progesterone
B
testosterone
C
FSH and LH
D
FSH

Slide 16 - Quiz

What do FSH and LH stimulate in men?
A
FSH: spermatogenesis, LH: testosterone production
B
FSH: secondary sexual characteristics, LH: testosterone production
C
FSH: testosterone production, LH: spermatogenesis
D
FSH: secondary sexual characteristics, LH: spermatogenesis

Slide 17 - Quiz

The testosterone level of a particular male is labeled R. Because of an inflammation one of the sperm ducts is closed off. What happens with R?
A
Increases
B
Decreases
C
Stays equal
