Gigantism in children and acromegaly in adults
33
What is underproduction of growth hormone
Dwarfism
34
What does adrenocorticotropic hormone do
Stimulates the Zona fasciculata and causes release of glucocorticoids
35
What is an overproduction and under production of adrenocorticotropic hormone
Cushing’s syndrome (over) And Addison’s disease (under)
36
What does Leutinizing hormone do
Stimulates ovulation and corpus luteum formation in females stimulates testosterone in males
37
What hormone is found in the ovaries and testes
LH
38
What does follicle stimulating hormone do
Stimulates follicle maturation in females and stimulates spermatogenesis formation in males
39
What organs does follicle stimulating hormone target
Ovaries and testes
40
What does prolactin do
Targets mammary glands and stimulates milk production
41
What does elevated levels of prolactin do
Decrease estrogen and testosterone levels
42
What does thyroid stimulating hormone do
Stimulates thyroid hormone production T3 and T4
43
What is overproduction and under production of thyroid stimulating hormone
Overproduction hyperthyroidism underproduction hypothyroidism
44
What does oxytocin do
Targets the uterus causing uterine contractions causes milk ejection
45
What does antidiuretic hormone do
Targets the kidney tubules Causes less water to be released
46
What is under production of antidiuretic hormone
Diabetes insipidus
47
What produces T3 and T4
Follicular cells and Calloid 
48
What is this and what is produced here
Parafollicular cells and calcitonin is produced 
49
What is this what is produced here
Colloid and follicular cells and T3 and T4 is produced
50
What is goiter
Enlarged thyroid gland iodine deficiency
51
What is Graves’ disease
Auto immune disease, enlarged thyroid gland
52
What is the antagonist to parathyroid hormone
Calcitonin
53
What does parathyroid hormone do
Increases calcium levels in blood and stimulates osteoclast activity
54
What does the Zona glomerulosa produce
Mineralocorticoids like aldosterone
55
What does the Zona fasciculata produce
Glucocorticoids like cortisol
56
What does the Zona reticularis produce
Gonadocorticoids
57
What do each of these layers control
Glomerulosa controls electrolyte levels in blood
Fasciculata promotes gluconeogenesis
Reticularis converts Ganado corticoids into testosterone and estrogen
58
What is epinephrine and norepinephrine
Triggers our fight or flight
59
What is overproduction of Epinephrine and norepinephrine
Hypertension
60
What hormones are produced here
Glucagon (alpha) and insulin (beta)
61
What does glucagon and insulin do
Glucagon increases blood sugars and insulin decreases blood sugar levels
62
What is hyperglycemia
Overproduction of glucagon
