Endocrine and Respiratory Flashcards
Hypophysis or master gland
Pituitary gland
Two parts of the pituitary gland
Adenohypophysis
Neurohypophysis
The pituitary gland is connected to the hypothalamus by the..
Infundibular stalk
Secretion of the adenohypophysis
GPA: B FLAT Acidophiles: Growth hormone Prolactin Basophiles: Follicle Stimulating Hormone Luteinizing Hormone Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone
Chondrogenesis and protein anabolism
Growth Hormone/Somatotropin
Glycogenolysis and lipolysis
Growth Hormone/Somatotropin
Stimulates milk production in mammary gland
Prolactin
Srimulates Gametogenesis
Follicle Stimulating Hormone
Stimulates estrogen production
Follicle stimulating Hormone
Stimulates androgen-binding protein production in males
Follicle stimulating hormone
Stimulates Ovulation and formation of corpus luteum in females
Luteinizing hormone
Stimulates testosterone production in males
Luteinizing hormone
Stimulates zona fasciculata to produce cortisol
Adrenocorticotropic hormone/corticotropin
Stimulates thyroid to produce t3 and t4
Thyroid stimulating hormone
Hypothalamic hormone ehich inhibits release of growth hormone
Somatostatin
Hypothalamic hormone which inhibits prolactin release
Dopamine/prolactin-inhibiting hormone
Excessive cortisol will tesult to..
Cushings disease
Deficient cortisol will result to..
Addisons disease
Excessive thyroid hormone will result to..
Hyperthyroidism
Deficient thyroid hormones will tesult to..
Hypothyroidism
This is secreted by the hypothalamus neurosecretory fells during puberty..
Gonadotropin releasing hormone
Targets sertoli cells to produce androgen binding protein
Follicle stimulating hormone
Targets leydig cells to produce testosterone
Luteinizing hormone
Testosterone binds to Androgen binding protein
Spermatogenesis
Sertoli cells produce ___ when stimulated by follice stimulating hormone
Androgen binding protein
Leydig cells produce ___ when stimulated by luteinizing hormones
Testosterone (androgen)
Is responsible for the secondary male characteristics
Testosterone
Will increase the production of estrogen
Granulosa cells binds to follicle stimulating hormone
