Chapter 18 (part 2) Flashcards
endocrine system
simple reflex..
uses one hormone
complex reflex..
uses two or more hormones
hypothalamus
an endocrine organ that secretes releasing and inhibiting hormones, controls the adrenal medullae
anterior lobe (adenohypophysis)
glandular tissue that release 7 hormones directly into the blood
posterior lobe (neurohypophysis)
neurological tissue, 2 hormones made in the hypothalamus and stored.
what produces regulatory hormones called releasing hormones (RH) and inhibiting hormones (IH) that directly influences the adenohypophysis
hypothalamus
what produces oxytocin and antidiurerteic hormone (ADH) vis neurosecretion and stores them in the neurohypophysis?
hypothalamus
what is the two capillary bed system?
allows a small amount of regulatory hormones from hypothalamus neurons to flow down to the hormone produces cells (trophies) waiting in the second bed of the a.p.
what are releasing hormones?
causes trophs to make and secrete a stimulating hormone
what are inhibiting hormone?
stops trophs from making and secreting any hormones
what is vasoconstriction
constricts arteries and maintains BP during dehydration or hemorrhage
what is another name for ADH
vasopressin
calcitonin puts the __; parathyroid takes__
bones
it out
what is hyperthyroidism?
abnormally high thyroid hormone levels causing abnormally slow metabolic rate
what is hypothyroidism?
abnormally low thyroid hormone levels cause abnormally slow metabolic rate
thyroid gland secretions influence..
- metabolic rate
- protein synthesis
- Ca++ balance
calcitonin from thyroid gland….and parathyroid hormone from parathyroid gland..
lowers blood Ca+
raises blood Ca+
what is the normal blood calcium levels?
9-11mg/100ml
what hormones are produced within the 3 zones of the cortex of the adrenal gland?
androgens, cortisol, and aldosterone
where is the medulla of the adrenal gland and what is produced here?
it is the central portion and epinephrine and norepinephrine are produced within the medulla
adrenaline/ noradrenaline
epinephrine and norepinephrine
salt
sugar
sex
mineral=aldosterone
glucose=cortisol
gonad=androgens
aldosterone
keeps salts in and kicks out potassium and raise BP
ANF does what?
a hormone secreted by the heart to lower BP by kicking salt out of the body
