3. Hormones Pt. 2 Flashcards
Target organ/cells of Follicle Stimulating Hormone?
Ovaries & testes
Effect of FSH?
maturation of ovarian follicles
Production of sperm by stimulating development of germ stem cell
Target cells/organs of Luteinising Hormone?
Cells of ovaries
Leading cells - testes
Effect of LH?
Stimulates secretion of opestrogen + progesterone
Stimulates secretion of testosterone
Target cells/organs/ of Growth Hormone?
All cells
Effect of GH?
Increases rate of amino acids taken in and built into proteins
Ensures skeletal growth and organ size are maintained at maturity
Target cell/organ of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone?
Thyroid gland
Effect of TSH?
Stimulates secretion of thyroxine
Target cel/organ of AdrenocorticoTropic Hormone?
Adrenal cortex
Effect of AcTH?
Controls production and release of aldosterone and cortisol
Target cell/organ of Prolactin?
Breasts
Effect of prolactin?
Production of milk in activated glands
Target cell/organ of Anti-Diuretic Hormone?
Collecting duct of nephron - kidney
Target cells/organs of oxytocin?
Uterus
Breasts
Effect of oxytocin?
Stimulates contraction of smooth muscle in uterus
Stimulates contraction of breast lobules to release milk
Target cells/organs of thyroxine?
Most cells
Effect of thyroxine?
Increase metabolic rate
Therefore increases 02 consumption + heat production
Target cells/organs of calcitonin?
Bones
Kidneys
Intestines
Effect of calcitonin?
Bones - osteoblasts build up matrix to store CA2+
Kidneys - decrease reabsorbtion of CA2+ from the filtrate
Intestines - decrease absorption of CA2+ from food
Target cells/organs of parathyroid hormone?
Bones
Kidneys
Intestines
Effect of parathyroid hormone?
Bones - osteoclasts break down matrix to release CA2+
Kidneys - increases reabsorbtion of CA2+ from filtrate
Intestines - increases absorption of CA2+ from food
Target cell/organ of thymosins?
T-lymphocytes
Effect of thymosins?
Stimulates the development and maturation of T-Lymphocytes
Target cell/organ of aldosterone?
Ascending arm and distal convuluted tubule of nephron -0 kidney
