- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What are water soluble hormones?
- Amines (modified AA)
- Peptides
- Eicosanoids (derived from arachadonic acid)
What are lipid soluble hormones?
- Steroids (derived from cholesterol)
- Thyroid hormones (iodine added to tyrosine)
How are lipid soluble hormones transported?
What is the advantage of being bound to a transport protein?
- Transport is improved by making the hormones water soluble
- Loss of the hormone by filtration of the kidney is prevented
What is the difference in receptors for lipid soluble and water soluble hormones?
- hormones diffuse into the cell
- in the nucleus the activated receptor-hormone complex alters gene expression
- this newly formed mRNA directs synthesis of specific proteins on ribosomes.
- the hormone binds to its receptor and activate G proteins, which activate adenylate cyclase
- activated adenylate cyclase converts ATP to cAMP
- cAMP serves as a second messenger to activate protein kinases
- activated protein kinases phosphorylate other enzymes
- millions of phosphorylated enzymes catalyse reactions that produce physiological responses
- phosphodiesterase inactivates cAMP
What are steroid receptors?
What are four different hormonal interactions?
- Permissive effect
- Synergistic effect
- Antagonistic effect
- Integrative effects
What is the permissive effect of hormones, can you give an example?
Example: Thyroid hormone is required in order for epinephrine to affect energy consumption.
What is the synergistic effect of hormones, can you give an example?
Example: Estrogen and LH are both required for oocyte production.
What is the antagonistic effect of hormones, can you give an example?
Example: insulin promotes glycogen synthesis and glucagon stimulates glycogen breakdown.
What is the integrative effect of hormones?
What are the two feedback mechanisms? Can you explain them?
How are hormones released from the posterior pituitary?
How are hormones released from the anterior pituitary?
What is the function of vasopressin? What about oxytocin?
Oxytocin: regulate reproductive activities
What are circumventricular organs?
What affects vasopressin release?
- Plasma osmolarity (high plasma osmolarity --> release of vasopressin)
- Blood pressure (low blood pressure --> release of vasopressin)
What are the two different types of diabetes insipidus?
- Genetic defect of vasopressin gene
- Destruction of magnocellular neurons by tumors
Peripheral (secondary/nephrogenic) DI: inability of collecting dust cells to respond to AVP
- Genetic defect of the vasopressin V2 receptor gene
- Inability to synthesize or insert sufficient amounts of aquaporin channels
What are the four types of pancreatic islet cells? What do they secrete?
Beta cells: secrete insulin
Delta cells: secrete growth hormone - inhibiting hormone (GH-IH)
F cells: secrete pancreatic polypeptide (PP)
What is diabetes mellitus?
What is the difference between type 1 and type 2 DM?
- Insulin treatment
- FA reduce insulin sensitivity
- Associated with obesity and age
- Treated by diet (weight loss) and exercise
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
