Chapter 11 Flashcards
(44 cards)
made up of cells, tissues, and organs
endocrine system
ductless glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormone
endocrine glands
diffuse into bloodstream to act on specific target cells
hormones
secretes products into ducts, outside the internal environment, (sweat glands, sebaceous glands, glands that secret digestive jucies)
exocrine glands
secrete hormones into body fluids to affect target cells
endocrine glands
liposoluble so they can pass through cell membranes, act directly on DNA of cell to generate effeect
steriods
produced from amino acids, cannot directly enter cells, bind to receptors on cells surface acting as first messenger causing a second one to be released
nonsteroids
what feedback are most hormones released?
negative feedback
attached to and controlled by hypothalamus
pituitary gland
control by hypothalamus, releasing and inhibiting hormones from the hypothalamus control the secretion from
anterior pituitary
stimulated body cells to grow and reproduce
growth hormone
promotes milk production
prolactin
controls the secretion of hormones from thyproid
thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
controls the secretion of certain hormones from adrenal cortex
adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) and luteinizing hormone after the male (testes) and female (ovaries) gonads
gonadotropins
stores hormones made by the hypothalamus, controlled by hypothalamus, releases these hormones in the blood in response to nerve impulses from hypothalamus
posterior pituitary
hormones in the anterior pituitary gland,
growth, prolactin, TSH, ACTH, FSH AND LH
hormones in the posterior pituitary
antidiuretic hormone (ADH, vasopressin,) oxytocin (OT)
causes the kidneys to conserve water and reduce amount of water in urine
antidiuretic hormone
plays role in childbirth by contacting muscles in the uterine wall and in mile letdown by forcing milk into ducts, controlled by positive feedback
oxytocin
located below the laryx, two lobes
thyroid gland
what are the hormones in the thyroid gland
Thyroxine (T4 or tetraiodothyronine) and triiodothyronine (T3)
regulate metabolism of carbs, lipids and proteins, increases the rate at which cells release energy from crabs, enhance protein synthesis and stimulate breakdown and mobilization of lipids
T4,T3
lowers blood levels of calcium and phosphate ions when they are too high, increases calcium deposition in bones by inhibiting osteoclasts and stimulating osteoblast
calcitonion
