Endocrine Flashcards
Hormone produced by HYPOTHALAMUS
Thyroid Releasing hormone
Corticotropic releasing hormone
Hormones produced by PITUITARY GLAND
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Oxytocin
Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH, Vasopressin)
Hormones produced by the PARATHYROID GLAND
Parathyroid hormone
Hormones produced by the ADRENAL GLANDS
Steroids: glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids
Hormones produced by the PANCREAS
Insulin
Glucagon
Hormones produced by the THYROID GLAND
T3, T4
Steroids that affect mood, cause immunosuppression, breakdown fats & proteins, & inhibit insulin
Glucocorticoids
Steroids that maintain retention of sodium & bater, and excrete potassium
Mineralocorticoids ALDOSTERONE connects to raas system
what are the sex hormones?
Testosterone, estrogen, progesterone
Secreted by the adrenal medulla
Catecholamines
Pituitary gland is in the brain, between the
EYEBALLS
Be on the lookout for ADH issues if a client has had:
craniotomy, head injury, sinus surgery
Antidiuretic hormone HOLDS ONTO
WATER
Low T3 and T4 cause High
TSH
Low TSH cause high
T3, T4
Causes calcium to be pulled out of the bones and into the blood; can increase serum calcium
Parathyroid glands
Released when serum calcium levels increase
- Inhibits osteoclasts
- Stops bones from releasing more calcium into the blood
Calcitonin
Acts as the ‘key’ to transport
glucose from the bloodstream to the cells
- Allows the cells to use glucose as fuel
Insulin
Normal Blood Glucose
70-110 mg/dL
Produced by the ɑ-cells of the pancreas
Glucagon
Produced by 𝛃-islets of Langerhan
Insulin
catabolic hormone which raises blood glucose when low
Glucagon
Cortisone, Hydrocortisone are ____ - acting steroids
Short
Methylprednisolone, Prednisone, Triamcinolone are ____ - acting steroids
Intermediate
Betamethasone, Dexamethasone are ____ - acting steroids
Long
Suppress inflammation and normal immune response
STEROIDS
