zona fasiculata

A

cortisol

long term blood glucose

29
Q

zona reticulaire

A

androgens and estrogens

30
Q

medulla

A

norepinephrine
and epinephrine
a modified sympathetic ganglion

31
Q

medulla and cortex

A

stress mediated

32
Q

two glands of the adrenal

A

cortex

medulla = core

33
Q

cortisol peaks

A

early morning

stress

34
Q

cortisol effects

A

lipolysis
increase blood glucose
suppressed immune function
facilitates catecylamines

35
Q

deficient cortisol

A

poor processing of stress during injury

36
Q

regulation of ACTH

37

theca cells
corpus lute
granulosa cells

38
Q

theca cells

39
Q

corpus luteum

A

progesterone

40
Q

granulosa cells

A

inhibition and activation

41
Q

testis

A

Leydig

Sertoli

42
Q

Leydig cells

A

testosterone

43
Q

Sertoli cells

A

sperm development

44
Q

LH

A

luteinizing hormone

45
Q

FSH

A

follicle stimulating
controlled by inhibit
stimulates estrogen

46
Q

anterior pituitary

47
Q

gonadotropic releasing hormone

A

major effect on LH

48
Q

LH pulses

A

biphasic
every minute
large pulse at 1 hour

49
Q

humoral factors

A

other factors in circulation

e.g. glucose

50
Q

FSH

51
Q

LH and FSH over life

A

more during puberty

52
Q

LH in females

A

surge at ovulation

53
Q

LH in males

A

constant

produces testosterone

54
Q

follicular phase

A

maturing follicle secretes E2

P is low

55
Q

preovulatory surge

A 
follicle makes enough E2 
switches to PFB
LH/FSH surge
ovulation
corpus luteum is formed
56
Q

luteal phase

A

c. luteum secretes P for NFB
c. luteum demises
decrease in P
menstruation

57
Q

positive feedback LH and FSH

A

estradiol
at high plasma concentration in late follicular phase
stimulates GnRH and LH
stimulates ovulation

58
Q

negative LH and FSH

A

inhibin by testis / ovaries

???

59
Q

prolactin

A

inhibits GnRH release

creates post-partum contraception

60
Q

amenorrhea

61
Q

testosterone and LH

A

feeds back to pituitary

inhibits LH

62
Q

HPA axis complications

63
Q

follicular phase

A

maturing follicle secretes E2
P is low
Preovulatory surge:

64
Q

Luteal phase

A

corpus luteum secretes P for NFB on HPG axis,
low LH]allows corpus luteum demise
decrease in P
menstruation
