Behavioral Neuroendocrinology midterm Flashcards
Hypothalamus
controls hormone secretion.
Hormones secreted: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone, corticotropin-releasing hormone, Dopamine, Ocytocin, vasopressin, Thyrotropin-releasing hormone, Growth hormone-releasing hormone
Pineal Gland
Reproductive maturation; body rhythms
Hormones secreted: Melatonin
Thyroid Gland
Growth and development, metabolic rate
Hormones secreted: Triiodothyronine, Thyroxine
Anterior Portion of Pituitary Gland
Hormone secretion by thyroid, adrenal cortex, and gonads; growth.
Hormones secreted: Growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, Prolactin, Luteinizing hormone, follicule-stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, Calcitonin
Posterior portion of pituitary gland
Water balance; salt balance
Hormones secreted: Oxytocin (stored), vasopressin, antidiuretic (Stored)
Intermediate portion of the Pituitary gland
hormones secreted: melanocyte stimulating
Pancreas
controls sugar metabolism
adrenal gland
controls salt/carb metabolism, inflammatory reactions, emotional arousal and stress response
Gonads-testes/ovaries
controls body development, maintenance of reproductive organs
Adipose tissue
?
Corticotropic releasing hormone
Hypothalamic/Pituitary
Hormone. Stimulates adrenocorticotropin and Beta-Endorphins from
the anterior pituitary
Gonadotropin-Releasing
Hormone
Hypothalamic/Pituitary
Hormone. Stimulates FSH and LH from anterior pituitary
Melanocyte-Stimulating
Hormone
Hypothalamic/Pituitary
Hormone. Affects memory and skin color
Neuropeptide Y
Hypothalamic/Pituitary
Hormone. Regulation of energy balance and appetite
Substance P
Hypothalamic/Pituitary
Hormone. Transmits pain, increases smooth muscle contractions of GI
tract
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone
Hypothalamic/Pituitary
Hormone. Stimulates development of ovarian follicles and secretion of
estrogens
Luteinizing Hormone
Hypothalamic/Pituitary
Hormone. Stimulates Leydig cell development and testosterone
production. Stimulates corpora lutea development and
production of progesterone
Growth Hormone
Hypothalamic/Pituitary
Hormone. Mediates somatic cell growth
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
Hypothalamic/Pituitary
Hormone. The primary stimulus for thyroid hormone production by the
thyroid gland
Endocrine
cells secrete hormones that interact with hormone receptors. Endocrine glands are glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood. cell fuses to synaptic membrane, fuses, released into bloodstream to goes to target cells
Exocrine:
cells secrete hormones via a duct or tube into the internal or external environment. hormone gets put into a vesicle then fuses to membrane then gets released into lumen instead
ECTOCRINE:
substances released outside the individual and affect another animal. For example: pheromones and chemosignals
PARACRINE:
cells secrete products that affect other cells
INTRACRINE:
chemical mediation of intracellular events
