endocrine 1 - exam 3 Flashcards
hypothalamus
secretes neurohormones onto anterior pituitary
heart
makes atrial natriuretic peptide which lowers blood Na+
atrial natriuretic peptide
made in heart
lowers blood Na+
adrenal gland organs
adrenal medulla and cortex
adrenal glands
medulla - epinephrine and norepinephrine for fight or flight
cortex - makes aldosterone which regs Na/K+ balance, makes cortisol and some androgens
makes epi/norepinephrine
adrenal medulla
aldosterone
made in adrenal cortex
regulates Na/K+ balance
cortisol
from adrenal cortex
liver
pods insulin like growth factor 1
controls bone. growth
secretes angiotensinogen - precursor for angiotensin 2
insulin like growth factor 1
from liver
controls bone growth
angiotensinogen
precursor from liver for angiotensin 2
kindeys
secrete erythropoietin which regs maturation of RBCs
prods vitamin D hormone
secretes enz renin to start synthesis of angiotensin 2
renin
enzyme of kidneys
starts synthesis of angiotensin 2
erythopoietin
secreted by kidneys
regs maturation of RBCs
pancreas
makes insulin
decreases blood glucose
makes glucagon - increase blood glucose
