Endo-Pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid

Question 1

Anterior Pituitary control

Answer 1

hormones travel from the hypothalamus via hypophyseal portal to anterior pituitary

Question 2

Posterior Pituitary Control

Answer 2

receives hormone via hypothalamic-hypophyseal tract, released into the blood stream by posterior pituitary

Question 3

Anterior Pituitary hormones (adenohypophysis)

Answer 3

Thyroid stimulating hormone - TSH
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone - ACTH
Follicle Stimulating Hormone - FSH
Luteinizing Hormone - LH
Growth Hormone - GH
Prolactin

Question 4

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

Answer 4

stimulates thyroid to release T3/T4

Question 5

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)

Answer 5

stimulate adrenal cortex to release cortisol and aldosterone

Question 6

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

Answer 6

Stimulates gonads to form gametes (ova/sperm)

Question 7

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

Answer 7

prompts testosterone synthesis, triggers ovulation

Question 8

Growth Hormone (GH)

Answer 8

stimulates bone, cartilage and muscle growth

Question 9

Prolactin (PRL)

Answer 9

stimulates breast milk production

Question 10

Posterior Pituitary produces what kinds of Hormone

Answer 10

Antidiuretic Hormone
Oxycotin

Question 11

Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)

Answer 11

increase blood pressure by causing a reduction in urine production

Question 12

Oxycotin

Answer 12

Intensifies contractions during labor
prompts milk let down
promotes bonding in sexual partners and babies

Question 13

Fuctions of Thyroid gland hormones

Answer 13

T3, T4- increase BMR (basal metabolic rate)
Calcitonin- reduces blood calcium levels

Question 14

T3, T4 hormone

Answer 14

requires Iodine to complete hormone, 90% is T4, T3 enzymatically converts to T4

Question 15

Parathyroid Gland

Answer 15

Parathyroid Hormone- increase blood calcium levels, stimulate osteoclasts prompting bone resorption
