reabsorption of water and Na ion
What is the function of oxcytocin hormone?
contration of smooth muscles in urethra
milk ejection form mamary gland
Where are the oxytocin and the vasopressin formed?
in the hypothalamus and then released from the pars nervosa
What is the function fo leutenizing hormone and follicle stiumlating hormoen in males?
lutenizing hormone : androgen synthesis
follicle SH : spermatogenesis
What is the function of lutenizing hormone and follicle stiumlating hormoen in females?
lutenizing hormone: ovulation of mature follicle and maintainance of corpus luteum
follicle SH :development of ovarian follicles
What leads to diabetes insupidus?
impairment of realeasing ADH(vasopressing) which leads to water loss and dehydration
this condition is known as diabetes insupidus
What are the secretion of the pineal gland?
melatonin
What is the function of melatonin ?
maintaining the normal body rythm body temperature infleunce metalbosim pigmentation mestrual cycle
What are the two types of cells present in the thyroid gland>?
stroma and follicle
What are the two secretions of the thyroid gland?
t3 and t4
TCT(thyrocalcitonin) reduce Ca in blood
What is the disease caused by hypothyroidism?
goitre
What happens to the foetus is hte mother has hypothyroidism ?
defective development and maturation of baby
stunted growth and mental retardation , low IQ , abonormal skin , deaf-mutinism
What can happen to an adult women becuase of hypothyroidism?
irregular mentrual cycle
What are the causes of hyperthyroidism?
cancer in the thyroid cells
formation of nodules
What is the other name of graves disesase?
exophtalmic goitre
What are the charecteristics of hyperthyroidism?
enlargement of thyroid gland
eyeballs
BMR (high )
weight loss
What are the important roles of the thyroid hormones>?
regulation of BMR
formation of RBC
metaolism of fats, carbohydrate,protein
What are is the secretion of parathyroid hormones?
PTH (parathyroxine hormone)
What is the funciton of PTH?
increases the blood Ca levels
dissolution of bone
stimulates the absoriton of Ca in renal tubules
increases the absorption of Ca in digested food
Ca level in body is maintained by it
Where is the thymus presnet?
behind the sterum and between the lungs on the ventral side of the aorta
What is the secretion thymus?
thymosins
What is the function of thymosins?
differentation of T lymphocytes
What are the secretions of the adrenal medulla called?
catecholamines
What happens in the addisons disease?
the adrenal cortex alters the carbhydrate metabolism causing acute weakness and fatigue leading to this disease
What are the secretions of the adrenal medula?
adrenalin
nor adrenaline
What is the funciton the catecholamienes?
increase alertness
pupilary dialation
piloerection
sweating
increase the heart contraction
breakdown of glycogen resulting in increased gluciose in blood
stimulate hte break down of lipids and proteins
What are thesecretions ofthe adrenal cortex?
glucocorticoids
mineralocorticoids
What are functions of the glucocortidcoids?
glyconeogenesis, lipolysis, proteolysis
inhibit the cellular uptake of the amino acids
maintain the cardiovascular system
What are functions of cortisols?
anti inflammation
supress the immune system
RBC production
What are the functis of the mineralocorticoids?
reabsorption of Na+ and water ions
secretions of phosphate and K
hels in maintaining the osmotic pressure
What are the two types of the pancreatic cells?
alpha
beta cells
What is the function of glucagon?
acts on the liver cells and stimulates the glycogenolysis resulting in increased blood sugar
reduces the cellular glucose uptake
On which cells does the glucagon mainly act on ?
the liver cells
On which cells deos insulin mainly act on ?
liver cells and adipocyte and increase the cellular glucose uptake
