A

THYROXIN – regulate rate of metabolism
CALCITONIN – decreases levels of calcium in the blood by inhibiting osteoclasts and increasing calcium excretion (partially antagonistic to parathyroid hormone

40
Q 
Function:
PARATHYROID HORMONE (Parathormone or PTH) –
A

raises the level of calcium in the blood, by inhibiting osteoblasts and promoting osteoclasts, and promoting calcium reabsorption by the kidneys. Partially antagonistic to calcitonin of thyroid gland

Q

pancrease hormones

A

glucagon and insulin

48
Q

glucagon is from? and its function is?

A

alpha cells and it raises blood glucose levels

49
Q 
function
insulin and from where?
A

beta cells

lowers blood glucose levels

50
Q

Ovaries
Innervation:
sympathetic –
parasympathetic –

A

sympathetic – similar to hindgut, level T12, follows least splanchnic nerve; parasympathetic – sacral outflow

51
Q

ovary
Arterial Supply:

Venous Drainage:

A

Arterial Supply: ovarian artery, branch of abdominal aorta.

Venous Drainage: ovarian vein, dumps into inferior vena cava

52
Q

what two hormones does ovaries produce

A

estrogen and progesterone

53
Q

Functions of ovarian hormones and their secretions are tied to secretion of?

A

FSH and LH from anterior pituitary gland.

54
Q

_____is thought to guide descent of testes into scrotum, and ultimately anchors testis to scrotal wall.

A

Gubernaculum

55
Q 
TESTES
Innervation:  
sympathetic – 
parasympathetic – 
Arterial Supply:  testicular artery.  Branches off of abdominal aorta, however developmental proximity of kidney means they sometimes branch off of renal artery.  Arteries follow the developmental track of testes, and can thus be very long.
