Q

These hormone stimulates or inhibits secretion of specific hormones, works with emotions, stimulated by the Hypothalamus

A

Releasing and Inhibiting Hormones

19
Q

These hormones regulates metabolism, growth and development, and activity of nervous system

A

T3 and T4

20
Q

This hormone lowers blood levels of calcium, increases calcium storage in bones

A

Calcitonin

21
Q

Where does calcitonin come from?

A

Thyroid

22
Q

This hormone increases blood levels of calcium and revokes calcium from storage in bones

A

Parathyroid Hormone

23
Q

This hormone raises blood glucose, conversion of glycogen into glucose ( A cells )

A

Glucagon

24
Q

This hormone lowers blood glucose — transport into cells, convert glucose to glycogen ( b Cells ) controls carbohydrate metabolism

A

Insulin

25
Q

This hormone inhibits secretion of insulin and glucagon

A

GH inhibiting factor

26
Q

Where does glucagon come from?

A

Pancreas

27
Q

Where does insulin come from?

A

Pancreas

28
Q

Where does GH inhibiting factor come from?

A

Pancreas

29
Q

This hormone increases sodium reabsorption and potassium loss

A

Aldosterone

30
Q

This hormone increases blood glucose levels and participates in carb metabolism

A

Cortisol

31
Q

Where do androgens and estrogens come from?

A

Adrenal Cortex

32
Q

Where does aldosterone come from?

A

Adrenal Cortex

33
Q

Where does cortisol come from?

A

Adrenal cortex

34
Q

These hormones increase heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels, great to counteract stress

A

Epinephrine and Norepinephrine

35
Q

Where does epinephrine and norepinephrine come from?

A

Adrenal Medulla

36
Q

This hormone increases the rate of cellular metabolism and production of red blood cells, so the average cubic millimeter of blood is usually greater in males than in females

A

Testosterone

37
Q

Where does estrogen come from?

A

Ovaries

38
Q

Where does progesterone come from?

A

Ovaries

39
Q

His hormone helps the uterus to prepare for pregnancy, stimulates development of mammary glands, menstrual cycle

A

Progesterone

40
Q

A group of peptides secreted by the thymus gland that increases production of certain types of white blood cells

A

Thymosin

41
Q

This disease is caused by hyper secretion of glucocorticoids — high levels of cortisol, redistribution of body fats, “moon face,” red cheeks, buffalo hump, thin/ reddened skin, weight gain, hypertension, baldness, psychiatric changes

A

Cushing’s Syndrome

42
Q

This disease is due to the hyposecretion of mineralcorticoids and glucocorticoids — decrease in blood sodium levels, drop in blood glucose and increase in potassium levels, dehydration — weight loss, hyperpigmentation, dark face, nausea, muscle and joint pain, depression, irritability

A

Addison’s Disease

43
Q

This disease is from hyper secretion of thyroid hormone — toxic diffuse goiter, bulging eyes, raised skin over shins, sped up functions, increased sweat and nervousness — possibly inherited or autoimmune

A

Grave’s Disease

44
Q

Where does ACTH come from?

A

Anterior Pituitary
