Chapter 5 Flashcards
(17 cards)
hormone that stimulates the development and maintenance of thyroid gland and secretion of thyroxine
thyrotropin (TSH) thyroid stimulating hormone
“Big 4” include:
increase metabolism
increase plasma glucose
increase BP
increase immune response
thyrotropin (TSH) thyroid stimulating hormone secondary functions
BIG 4 (increase metabolism, plasma glucose, BP & immune response) increase MEMORY
site of synthesis for corticotropin/adrenocorticotropin ACTH
POMC cells (proopiomelanocortin) adenohypophysis
secondary functions of corticotropin/adrenocorticotropin ACTH
BIG 4 MINUS IMMUNE RESPONSE (increase metabolism, plasma glucose, BP)
INCREASE MEMEORY
hormone that’s PRIMARY function is to stimulate development of MAMMARY GLANDS and MILK PRODUCTION
luteotropin (LTH) aka prolactin (PRL) aka Lactotropin
secondary functions of luteotropin (LTH) aka prolactin (PRL) aka Lactotropin
Big 4 (increase metabolism, plasma glucose, BP & immune response)
site of synthesis for FSH
gonadotrope-adenohypophysis
stimulates seminiferous tubules to produce spermatozoa in males
FSH
stimulates ovaries to produce ovum in female
FSH
(2) hormones that is synthesized in sertoli cells and granolas of ovaries
activin
inhibin
hormone that functions to stimulates the secretion of FSH only
activin
hormone that functions to decrease the secretion of FSH only
inhibin
hormone that functions to stimulate pigmentation and secondary function is BIG 4
melanotropin MSH
hormone with primary function of decreasing pain stimuli and decreases reproduction
endorphins
site of synthesis for endorphins
POMC cells- adenohypophysis
hormones that increase memory (3)
melanotropin MSH
ACTH
TSH
