Anatomy Exam 3 (Deck 2) Flashcards
Oxytocin target organs:
mammary glands, uterus, prostate gland
Cortisol target organ:
liver
Function (4/5):
Increases excretion of potassium in urine
Aldosterone
Aldosterone target organ:
Kidneys
Prolactin effects on body:
produces milk
Increased % = acute infection, myelocytic leukemia, rheumatoid arthritis
Neutrophils
Decreased % = aplastic and pernicious anemia, radiation
Neutrophils
Function (2/4):
**increases use of fats/excess amino acids for energy
Cortisol
Increased % = allergies, parasites, autoimmune disorders
Eosinophils
Function: increases milk production in the breasts
Prolactin
Function: lowers blood sugar level
Insulin
ACTH effects on body
Helps the body deal with stress
Function (3/4):
increases metabolic rate of cells
Epinephrine
Function (4/4):
increases conversion of GLUCOSE to glycogen in the liver
Cortisol
Function (3/5):
causes reabsorption of sodium and water by kidneys
Aldosterone
Increased % = TB
Monocytes
Function (3/4):
decreases use of glucose for energy
Cortisol
Function (1/4):
increases blood pressure convert glycogen to glucose
Epinephrine
Function: stimulates development of eggs in ovaries and sperm cells in testes
FSH (follicle stimulation hormone)
Function: Stimulates adrenal cortex to produce cortisol and other hormones
ACTH
Function: stimulates manufacture of amino acids into protein
Insulin
Insulin produced in ___ for ___
pancreas for hyperglycemia
Function (2/3):
increases conversion of GLYCOGEN to glucose in liver
Glucagon
Function (4/4)
important in emission of secretions & spermatozoa
Oxytocin
Function (4/4):
Dilates bronchioles in respiratory system
Epinephrine
TSH effects on body
increases energy production & raises metabolic rate
GH effects on body
promotes manufacture of proteins and stimulates the release of fats for energy during stress
Function (1/4):
has anti-inflammatory effects by blocking histamine (inhibits the immune system)
Cortisol
Function (1/5):
regulates water and electrolyte balance
Aldosterone
Oxytocin produced in:
Hypothalamus/ placenta
Function (1/4)
acts on mammary gland to stimulate the release of milk
Oxytocin
ACTH receptor
cortex of adrenal glands
FSH produced:
hypothalamus/ ovaries & testes
Function (1/3): increases blood sugar level
Glucagon
Function (3/3):
**increases use of fats and excess amino acids for energy
Glucagon
Increased % = chronic infection, mono, lymphocytic leukemia, viral infections
Lymphocytes
GH target organs
affects all tissues, muscle cells & chondrocytes particularly sensitive;
affects bones and muscles in children
Epinephrine target organs:
liver, skeletal muscles, skin
Glucagon produced in
__ for __
Pancreas for hypoglycemia
Aldosterone effects on body:
lowers blood sodium levels, lowers blood volume and B/P, raises blood potassium levels
Decreased % = AIDS, steroids, radiation therapy
Lymphocytes
Function (2/4)
stimulates smooth muscle contraction of uterus to facilitate labor and delivery
Oxytocin
Function (5/5):
Helps maintain normal blood volume, blood pressure and blood pH
Aldosterone
Function (2/5):
regulates metabolism of sodium, chloride and potassium
Aldosterone
ACTH inhibits:
the immune system
Oxytocin effects on body:
stimulates child birth; milk “let down” reflex
Function (3/4)
Stimulates smooth muscle contraction in walls of prostate gland
Oxytocin
Cortisol produced:
in anterior pituitary gland
Function (2/4):
increases heart rate
Epinephrine
FSH target organs:
Gonads (ovaries & testes)
Function: stimulates thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones T3 & T4 (thyroxine)
TSH
insulin target organs:
liver and muscles
Function: stimulates cell growth by increasing rate of mitosis in growing tissues and organs
Growth hormone (GH)
Prolactin target organs:
mammary
Are we gonna get a 100% on this exam?
Yes
