A

cushings syndrome

33
Q

disease: too little CRH, ACTH, cortisol

34
Q
  • doesnt synthesize hormone, stores and releases hormones made by hypothalamus
  • oxytocin
  • ADH (vasopressin)
A

neurohypophysis

35
Q
  1. high blood osmotic pressure stimulates hypothalmic osmoreceptors
  2. osmoeceptors activate the neurosecretory cells that syn and release ADH
  3. nerve impules liberate ADHfrom axon terminals the posterior pituitary into bloodsteam
  4. kidneys retain more water
  5. low blood osmotic presuure inhibits hypolthalmaaic receopters
A

ADH regulation

36
Q
  • located inferior to the larynx
  • 2 lobes connected by isthmus
  • produce t3 and t4
  • parafollicular cells or C cells produce calcitonin
A

thyroid gland

37
Q

increased ___ hormones: increase oxygen use and basal metabolic rate; and inc in body temp

A

thyroid hormones

38
Q

thyroid hormones use oxygen,lipid and glucose to fuel a faster production of ___ within cells in order to reduce stress

A

ATP

39
Q

thryotropin is released from hypothalamus and tsh from anterior pituitary; situations that increase ATP demand also increase secrtion of___ hormones

A

thyroid

40
Q
  1. low blood levels of t3 or low metabolic rate stimulate release of trh
  2. trh carried by hypophyseal portal veins to adenohypophysis; stimulating release of tsh by thryotropins

A

addison’s disease

49
Q
  • endocrine and exocrine gland
  • Roughly 99% of cells produce digestive enzymes
  • Pancreatic islets or islets of Langerhans
  • Alpha or A cells secrete glucagon – raise blood sugar
  • Beta or B cells secrete insulin – lower blood sugar

  • F cells secrete pancreatic polypeptide – inhibit somatostatin, gallbladder contraction, and secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes
A

pancreatic islets

50
Q

  6. insulin acts on body cells to speed gly…
  7. blood glucose level falls
  8. if blood cont to fall, hypoglycemia inhibits release of insulin
A
