16
Q

source: thyroid follicles of thyroid gland
trigger: TSH
target: body cells
function: attach to mitochondria and turn it on; attach to genes to make enzymes for glycolysis

A

T3: triidothyronine

or

T4: thyroxine

17
Q

source: C cells and parafollicular cells of thyroid gland
trigger: high Ca+ levels in blood
target: kidneys and bones
function: causes kidney to dump Ca+ back into blood; stimulate osteoblasts–>bones get thicker

A

CT: calcitonin

18
Q

source: parathyroid gland
trigger: low levels of Ca+ in blood
target: kidneys and bones
function: stimulate osteoclasts–>reduce bone size; conserve/bring Ca+ back into the blood

A

PTH: parathyroid hormone

19
Q

source: suprarenal cortex of suprarenal glands
trigger: ACTH
target: body cells, liver, and adipocytes
function: glucose sparing effect(conserve glucose); dump fatty acids into blood

A

CORT: cortisol

20
Q

source: suprarenal cortex of suprarenal gland
trigger: low Na+ in blood
target: kidney, sweat glands, skin, salivary glands, tongue, and taste buds
function: absorbs Na+ from urine back into blood–>H2O follows–>Na+ is pulled out and K+ is brought in; sensitive taste buds/tongue=desire salt

A

ALDO: aldosterone

21
Q

source: suprarenal gland
trigger: ACTH
target: bone/muscle development and metabolism
function: sex drive for females and nothing for males

A

AR: androgens

22
Q

source: suprarenal medulla of suprarenal glands
trigger: ANS
target: skeletal muscle, liver, adipocytes, and heart
function: break down glucose for ATP production; break down fatty acids; bigger and more heart contractions

A

E: epinephrine

or

NE: norepinephrine

23
Q

source: pineal gland/epithalamus
trigger: lack of activity
target: body cells
function: helps with circadian rhythm and sleep

A

MEL: melatonin

24
Q

source: pancreas
trigger: high blood glucose levels
target: skeletal muscles and liver
function: targets a gene for membrane protecting glucose gates

A

INS: insulin

25
Q

source: pancreas
trigger: low blood glucose levels
target: skeletal muscles and liver
function: break up glycogen chains and dump them into blood

A

GCG: glucagon

26
Q

source: kidneys
trigger: Ca+ levels in blood are too low; PTH
target: small intestine
function: tells SI cells to absorb more Ca+ from food into blood

A

D3: calcitriol

27
Q

source: kidneys
trigger: kidneys do not get enough oxygen
target: bone marrow
function: makes bone marrow produce more RBCs

A

EPO: erythropoetin

28
Q

source: kidneys
trigger: low BP and BV
target: angiotension II
function: targets ADH, ALDO, and ANG II(water places/hormones)

A

REN: renin

29
Q

source: suprarenal glands
trigger: renin
target: blood vessels
function: makes the kidney absorb more water from urine and increases BP

A

ANG II: angiotension II

30
Q

source: heart
trigger: high BP and BV
target: kidney
function: makes the kidney not absorb as much water from the urine; lowers BP; works against ADH, ALDO, and ANG II

A

ANP: atrial naturetic peptide

31
Q

source: thymus
trigger: none
target: WBCs
function: stimulates the development of T cells

A

A II: thymosin

32
Q

source: suprarenal gland and testes

Q

source: anterior pituitary gland
trigger: none
target: hypothalamus
function: inhibits GnRH

A

INHBH: inhibin

34
Q

source: ovaries
trigger: FSH and LH
target: uterus, ovaries, breasts
function: build uterine lining

A
