Q

Posterior pituitary releases

A

ADH in kidneys and oxytocin in uterus and mammary glands

26
Q

where does anterior pituitary receive nerve signals from and what type

A

sends releases hormones as signals

27
Q

Anterior pituitary releases

A

hGh, ATCH, TSH, FSH, LH, PRL

28
Q

pancreas is both

A

exo and endo gland

29
Q

beta cells

A

produce insulin

30
Q

alpha cells

A

produce glucagon

31
Q

Glucagon

A

when theres extra glucose in blood, body stores is at glucagon in liver & muscles which can be used for energy later

32
Q

blood sugar levels are controlled by

A

pancreas and adrenal glands

33
Q

glucose levels in homeostasis

A

5 mmol/L

34
Q

diabetes mellitus

A

where a person consistantly has elevated blood sugar levels

35
Q

effects of diabetes mellitus

A

-damages tissue
- impacts kidneys ability to absorb water
- glucose in urine increases, increasing urine volume and causing dehydration

36
Q

diabetes mellitus Symptoms

A

-thirst
-tiredness
-craving sugary drinks

37
Q

Type 1 diabetes

A

can’t produce insulin so glucose can’t removed = glucose stays in blood stream causing high BS

38
Q

Type 2 diabetes

A

too much insulin cause insulin receptors to stop working = glucose not being removed from BS

39
Q

Gestational diabetes

A

temporary, occurs during pregnancy

40
Q

Diabetes inspididus

A

not enough ADH or kidneys don’t dont respond to ADH

41
Q

Diabetes inspididus effect

A

excessive urination without affecting blood sugar

42
Q

Diabetes inspididus treatment

A

synthetic ADH

43
Q

metabolism requires what type of process

A

chemical process

44
Q

thyroid gland

A

controls rate of CR

45
Q

High metabolic rate in thyroid

A

supports protein synthesis, growth and increase body heat production

46
Q

direct response

A

hypothalamus and pituitary are not part of it

47
Q

calcitonin

A

lowers blood calcium levels, helps store more calcium in bones, and reduces how much is absorbed by kidneys

48
Q

PTH

A

raises blood calcium levels, takes out calcium from bones, and increases how much is absorbed by kidneys

49
Q

if water obsorbtion increases

A

urine is more concentrated and blood is more dilute

50
Q

cortisol

A

breaks down muscle and fat cells, raises blood sugar, suppresses immune system

51
Q

Aldosterone

A

increases sodium reabsorption in kidneys, raises BP

52
