Endo Flashcards
TSH
Source- Anterior Pituitary Gland| Target- Thyroid Gland| Action - Stimulates Growth of thyroid and secretion of T3 & T4.
Progestersone
Source- Ovaries| Target- Female Repo organs| Action- Prepares breasts to secrete milk and endometreum for implantation
Insulin
Source- Pancreace| Target- Cell membranes| Action- Decrease blood glucose, caused cell membrane to become permeable to glucose, amino, fatty acids
Calcitonin
Source- Thyroid gland| Target- Ostioblasts| Action- Decrease blood calcium levels by increasing calium levels in bone
FSH
Source- Anterior Pituitary gland| Target- Ovaries, Testies| Action- Growth of eggs and sperm production
Oxytocin
Source- Posterior pituitary gland| Target- Femal Repo structures| Action- Stimulates uterine contractions and milk let down
LH
Source- Anterior pituitary gland| Target- Ovaries and testies| Action- Ovulation of mature folical, testoterone production
Epinephrine
Source- Adrenal medula| Target- cardio vascular, resp, liver| Action- Increased HR, BP, RR, liver breaks down stored glycogen and releases glucose into blood.
Cortisol
Source- Adrenal Cortex| Traget- Immune, liver, heart, uterus| Action- Anti-inflammitory, breakdown lipids and proteins, helps body resist stress, depression of immune system, delayed wpound healing, premature delivery
Thyroxin (T3 & T4)
Source- Thyroid Gland| Traget- All cells| Action- increase metabalisom, nedded for normal growth, development, and maturation of nervous system
Aldosterone
Source- Adrenal Cortex| Target- Kidney cells| action- Holds onto sodium and water, secretes potassium
ADH
Source- Posterior pituitary Gland| Target- Kidney cells| Action- Retention of water
Glucagon
Source- Pancreace| Target- Liver| Action- Stimulate breakdown of glycogen and increases blood glucose levels
Testoterone
Source- Testies| Target- Male Repo parts| Action- Regulates libido, builds muscles and bones, development of secondary male sex characteristics
ACTH
Source- Anterior Pituitary Gland| Target- Adrenal cortex| Action- Stimulates growth of the cortex and production ofm cortisol and aldosterone
