hormones yo Flashcards
(30 cards)
what connects the hypothalamus and the pituitary glands?
the infundibulum
what controls the pituitary gland?
hypothalamus
ant. pituitary hormones (FLAT PEG)
FSH (follicle stimulating)
LH (luteinizing)
ACTH (adrenocorticotropic)
TSH (thyoid stimulating)
Prolactin
Endorphins
GH (growth)
what hormones does the pos. pituitary gland store?
ADH (antidiuretic)/Vasopressin
Oxytocin
what hormones does the thyroid gland produce?
Thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), calcitonin
What hormone does the parathyroid gland produce?
PTH (parathyroid hormone—easy, right?)
What hormones does the adrenal gland secrete? (cortex and medulla)
Cortex:
Glomerulosa: aldosterone
Fasciculata: cortisone
Reticularis: androgens
Medulla:
Epinephrine/Norepinephrine
Pancreatic hormones
Alpha, beta
Pineal gland hormone
melatonin
Thymus gland hormone
Thymosin
Ovary hormones
estrogen, progesterone
Testes hormones
testosterone
androgens
LH
FSH
oxytocin
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) function
water reabsorption in kidneys, blood pressure regulation
Aldosterone function
Sodium retention
FSH function
gamete production (think stimulating follicular growth in the ovaries)
LH function
stimulate ovulation, testosterone production
ACTH function
stimulate cortisol
TSH function
stimulates T3/T4
Prolactin function
milk production
GH function
growth, metabolism
Oxytocin function
uterine contractions, milk ejection
T3/T4 function
increase metabolism
Calcitonin function
inhibit osteoclasts—decreasing calcium in the bloodstream
PTH function
stimulates bone resorption—increases calcium in the blood
