Gland-Hormone-Action Flashcards
(44 cards)
Pancreas
Insulin
Glucagon
Somatostatin
Pancreatic polypeptide
Insulin
Decrease blood glucose/glycogensis
Glucagon
Increase blood glucose/glycolysis
Somatostatin
Inhibit insulin, glucagon, and hGH
Thymus
Thymine, thymic factor,
Thymic humoral factor, thymopoetin = immunity and T cell maturation in WBCs
Thyroid
T3
T4
Parafollicular C cells
T3/triodothyrine and T4/thyroxine/tetraodothyrine
Basal metabolic rate
Parafollicular c cells
Secrete calcitonin to decrease blood Ca2+ and keep bones calcified by inhibiting osteoclasts
Parathyroid
PTH - increase blood Ca2+ by secreting parathyroid cells secreting PTH and making bones thin through stimulating osteoclasts
Ovaries
Estrogen - secondary female sex characteristics
Progesterone - pregnancy prep
Testes
Testosterone - secondary makes sex characteristics and sperm production
Pineal gland
Melatonin - sleep
Neurohypophysis - posterior pituitary gland
Oxytocin
Anti diuretic/vasopressin
Oxytocin
Milk ejection, labor contractions = ONLY positive feedback
Anti diuretic / vasopressin
H2O retention, increased BP
Adenohypophysis/anterior pituitary gland
Thyroid stimulating TSH Follicle stimulating FH Lutenizing LH Prolactin Melanocyte stimulating MSH Adrencortocotropin ACTH Human growth hormone hGH
TSH
Secretes thyroid hormones
MSH
Melanin production
LH
Female and make decisions hormones secreted
FSH
Ova and sperm production
Prolactin
Milk production
ACTH
Secretes hormones of the adrenal cortex
Hypothalamus
Gonadtropin stimulating ACTH TSH Dopamine Somatocrinin/hGH
hGH
Tissue growth
