hormones of the testes

Answer 10

testosterone

Question 11

hormones of the ovary

Answer 11

• estrogen
• progesterone

Question 12

releasing hormone or inhibiting hormone

Answer 12

• from the hypothalamus
• causes anterior pituitary gland to release its hormones or prevents the release of its hormones

Question 13

FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone)

Answer 13

• from the anterior pituitary
• gamete production

Question 14

LH (luteinizing hormone)

Answer 14

• from the anterior pituitary
• causes release of sex hormones

Question 15

ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone)

Answer 15

• from the anterior pituitary
• stimulates the adrenal cortex to release cortisol

Question 16

TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone)

Answer 16

• from the anterior pituitary
• stimulates thyroid gland to release thyroxin

Question 17

Prolactin

Answer 17

• from the anterior pituitary
• stimulates milk production in mammary glands

Question 18

ICSH (interstistial cell stimulating hormone)

Answer 18

• from the anterior pituitary
• same as lh; causes the release of sex hormones

Question 19

hGH (human growth hormone)

Answer 19

• from the anterior pituitary gland
• stimulates liver to release growth factors to cause growth of skeletal muscles and bones

Question 20

Oxytocin

Answer 20

• from the posterioir pituitary gland
• stimulates the contraction of smooth muscles in uterus and mammary glands

Question 21

ADH (antidiuretic hormone)

Answer 21

• from the posterioir pituitary gland
• causes kidney tubules to becomes permeable to water, thereby reducing urine output

Question 22

Thyroxin

Answer 22

• from the thyroid gland
• increases body’s metabolism

Question 23

Calcitonin

Answer 23

• from the thyroid gland
• lowers blood calcium by depositing in into bones and urine

Question 24

Parathyroid hormone

Answer 24

• from the parathyroid gland
• increases blood calcium by removing it from the bones, increasing absorption from intestines and kidney tubules

Question 25

Insulin (beta cells)

Answer 25

- from the pancreas (islets of langerhans) - reduces blood glucose by converting it into glycogen in liver and making body cells permeable to glucose

Question 26

Glycogen (alpha cells)

Answer 26

- from the pancreas (islets of langerhans) - increase blood glucose by converting glycogen into glucose

Question 27

Epinephrine (adrenaline)

Answer 27

- from the adrenal medulla - fight or flight response

Question 28

Norepinephrine (noradrenaline)

Answer 28

- from the adrenal medulla - fight or flight response

Question 29

Cortisol (glucocorticoid)

Answer 29

- from the adrenal cortex - long term stress response. raises blood glucose by breaking down fat cells and muscle proteins

Question 30

Melatonin

Answer 30

- from the pineal gland - circadian rhythms- sleep/wake cycle

Question 31

Estrogen

Answer 31

- from the ovaries - female sex hormone

Question 31

Testosterone

Answer 31

- from the testes - male sex hormone

Question 32

Progesterone

Answer 32

- from the ovaries - female sex hormone

Question 33

Aldosterone (mineralocorticoid)

Answer 33

- from the adrenal cortex - inclreases blood pressure. causes reabsorption of sodium in kidneyt tubules and increases water reabsorption
