Moment 3 Flashcards
(212 cards)
neuroendocrine control center
hypothalamus and pituitary gland
steroid hormones trigger..(steroid jeans)
gene activation and protein synthesis in target cells
protein hormones change activity of…
existing enzymes in target cells
adrenal cortex - functions (rocky lips)
monitors blood sugar levels, helps lipid and protein metabolism
adrenal medulla (medus heart- bed - fight or flight)
controls cardiac function, raises blood sugar and controls size of blood vessels
it releases cortisol - which makes cells resistant to insulin. that’s how it raises it.
thyroid gland - helps regulate…
helps regulate metabolism and growth and development
parathyroid regulates what?
regulates calcium in blood
pancreas islets (island - sugar cane)
raises and lowers blood sugar. active in carbohydrate metabolism
thymus gland - function (just one thing)
immune responses
pineal gland (stove - clock)
daily biorhythms and sexual activity
pituitary gland - function
role in growth and development
hypothalamus - link between…
nervous system and endocrine.
hypothalamus communicates w/ pituitary by…
secreting releasing hormones (RH) and inhibiting hormones (IH).
GnRH - gonadotropin RH (always at the front) - what hormones?
made in hypothalamus - stimulates anterior pituitary to release LH and FSH
GHRH - growth hormone (always at the front)
made in hypothalamus - stimulates anterior pituitary to release GH
GHIH - growth hormone IH (gigi)
made in hypothalamus - (somatostatin) inhibits release of GH from anterior pituitary
TRH - thyrotropin RH
made in hypothalamus - stimulates anterior pituitary to release thyroptropin (TSH)
PRH - prolactin RH
made in hypothalamus - stimulates anterior pituitary to release prolactin
PIH - prolactin IH
made in hypothalamus - (dopamine) inhibits release of prolactin from anterior pituitary
CRH - corticotropin RH
made in hypothalamus - stimulates anterior pituitary to release ACTH
oxytocin
made in hypothalamus - targets uterus - contractions and milk stimulation
ADH - antidiuretic hormone - function and targets what? (hypo has adhd)
made in hypothalamus - released from posterior pituitary. targets kidneys and blood vessels - increases water retention
pituitary - what and where?
master gland. in the sella turcica in sphenoid.
TSH - made in…(tsh and pitt)
made in anterior pituitary - stimulates secretion of thyroid hormones
