- Part of Inflammatory Response of Phagocytic Mobilization - neutrophils squeeze through capillary walls and begin phagocytosis

- Part of inflammatory response of phagocytic mobilization - neutrophils cling to the walls capillaries in the injured area

- Produced by Adrenal Cortex - target tissue: kidneys - Increases sodium reabsorption and K+ and H+ excretion

Endocrine and Lymphatic Systems Flashcards by Chabelle Lawler

ACTH

(a. k.a. Adrenocorticotropic Hormone)
- Produced by the Anterior Pituitary Gland
- target tissue: Adrenal Cortex
- Response: increased glucocorticoid hormone secretion

Epinephrine

- secreted by adrenal gland | - increases blood glucose levels

Estrogen

- secreted by ovaries - aids in uterine and mammary gland development and function. maturation of genitalia, secondary sex characteristics, sexual behavior, and menstrual cycle

Examples of Steroid Hormones

Flow of Lymph

FSH

a. k.a. follicle stimulating hormone - secreted by anterior pituitary - target tissue: ovaries and tubules - follicle maturation and estrogen secretion in ovaries; sperm cell production in testes

a. k.a. growth hormone - stimulates growth and metabolic activity - secreted by anterior pituitary

Glucagons

Gluconeogensis

Gonadocorticoids

Hormone Structure and Function

Hormones Multiply Responses

Hypothalamus Hormones

- Growth Hormone releasing and inhibiting (GHRH and GHIH) - Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) - Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) - Prolactiv releasing and inhibiting (PIH and PRH)

Innate Immune System Parts

Insulin

- secreted by pancreas - target tissue: liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue - increase uptake and use of glucose and amino acids

Lymphocytes Immunocompetent

Malt

Mobilization of Phagocytes

Monoclonal Antibodies

Oxytocin

- secreted by posterior pituitary - target tissue: uterus and mammary glands - increase uterine contractions - milk production

Parts of Second Line of Defense

Prolactin Hormone

- secreted by Anterior Pituitary - target tissue: ovaries and mammary glands - Milk production

Release of Antibodies

Rennin
