25
Luteinizing hormone
ovaries in females (promotes ovulation, stimulates estrogen and progesterone production) testes in males (promotes testosterone)
26
prolactin
breastL promotes lactation
27
TSH thyroid stimulating hormone
thyrpid gland; thyroid hormone secretion
28
What hormones does posterior pituitary emit?
ADH and Oxytocin
29
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
kidney; increases water reabsorption (water returns to blood)
30
Oxytocin
uterus: stimulates uterine contractions, initiates labor breast: promotes milk secretion from mammary glands
31
acr/o
extremity
32
swelling due to mucus is??
myxedema
33
the thyroid hormones are
calcitonin, T4 and T3
34
what is calcitonin
calcitonin regulates calcium levels with parathyroid,
35
T4 and T3
increased energy production from foot, increased rate of protein synthesis
36
-ism
condition
37
calc/o
calcium
38
PTH (parathyroid targets..
bones: increased reabsorption of calcium and phosphate kidneys: increased calcium absorption and phosphate excretion small intestine: increased absorption of calcium and phosphate
39
adrenal glands are also known as
suprarenal glands
40
Adrenal Cortex hormones are
glucocorticoids, mineralcorticoids, and sex hormones
41
glucocorticoids (mainly cortisol)
body cells: promotion of gluconeogenesis; regulate carbs, protein, fat; aid in depression of inflammatory and immune responses
42
mineralocorticoids
(aldosterone) kidneys: increased blood level sof sodium and decreased potassium
43
sex hormones (androgens, estrogens, steroids)
responsible for female libido
44
what is the adrenal medullar hormones?
epinephrine and norepinephrine
45
epinephrine and norepinephrine
sympathetic nervous system target organs; hormone effects that mimic sympathetic nervous system activation, increase heart rate, raise blood pressure (fight or flight with hypersecretion)
46
hormone producing cells of the pancreas are called
islets of Langerhans
47
-gen / -genesis
forming, producing, origin
48
poly-
many, much
49
hormones produced by the pancreas are
glucagon and insulin
50
glucagon
liver and vlood; increase blood glucose level
51
insulin
tissue cells: lower blood glucose lvel
52
diabetes mellitus is caused by
hyposecretion of insulin
