endocrine practical

Question 1

the endocrine function of the pancreas

Answer 1

Sends out hormones that control the amount of sugar in your bloodstream.

Question 2

the exocrine function of the pancreas

Answer 2

Produces substances (enzymes) that help with digestion

Question 3

hypophysis/pituitary gland image

Answer 3

orange image
with light portion and dark portion

Question 4

lighter stained part of the hypophysis/pituitary gland image

Answer 4

neurohypophysis/posterior pituitary gland

Question 5

2 hormones made by the lighter stained part of the hypophysis/pituitary gland image
&
the hormones functions

Answer 5

The lighter part is the neurohypophysis/posterior pituitary gland
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)- lessens urine production
Oxytocin- releases milk from the mammary gland & stimulates uterine contractions
both are peptides

Question 5

2 hormones made by the darker stained part of the hypophysis/pituitary gland image
&
the hormones functions

Answer 5

The darker part is the adenohypophysis/anterior pituitary gland
ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone) - releases cortisol from the adrenal gland; it is a peptide
TSH (Thyroid-stimulating hormone) - makes the thyroid release T3/T4; it is a peptide
both are peptides

Question 6

image of the thyroid gland

Answer 6

has light pink balloons (thyroid follicle) and dark purple separate regions (parathyroid gland)

Question 7

what is the “balloon” of the thyroid gland made of
and what makes it

Answer 7

colloid
colloid is made by follicular cells surrounding it

Question 8

what is found in the”balloon” of the thyroid gland made of

Answer 8

T3/T4 hormone

Question 9

what are the cells surrounding the “balloon”

Answer 9

follicle cells

Question 10

what cells are between the “balloon” and the follicle cells

Answer 10

parafollicle cells

Question 11

image of pancreas

Answer 11

dark medium that has light colored circles

Question 12

what is the lighter part of the pancreas

Answer 12

Islets of langherhans

Question 13

what hormones are at the light parts of the pancreas

Answer 13

insulin- allows the cells in the muscles, fat, and liver to absorb glucose that is in the blood; is released from the pancreas when the glucose levels in the blood are high; it is a peptide

glucagon- triggers your liver to convert stored glucose (glycogen) into a usable form and then release it into your bloodstream; is released from the pancreas when the glucose levels in the blood are low; it is a peptide

Question 14

embryonic origin of neurohypophysis/posterior pituitary gland

Answer 14

neuroectoderm (AKA. infundibulum)

Question 15

embryonic origin of adenohypophysis/anterior pituitary gland

Answer 15

ectoderm

Question 16

what hormone comes from the parathyroid gland

Answer 16

parathyroid hormone- it helps maintain the right balance of calcium in the bloodstream and in tissues that depend on calcium for proper functioning.

Question 17

ovary image

Answer 17

large circular structures in a medium

Question 18

testes image

Answer 18

oval structure with small openings and spikes

Question 19

hormones of the pineal body

Answer 19

melatonin

Question 20

hormones of the pituitary gland

Answer 20

of the neurohypophysis/posterior pituitary gland
oxytocin
Anti-diuretic hormone

of the anterior pituitary gland/adenohypophysis
Adrenocorticotropic hormone
Thyroid stimulating hormone

Question 21

hormones of the thyroid gland

Answer 21

of the thyroid follicles
T3/T4 = Triiodothyronine/Thyroxine- these hormones regulate your weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and nervous system.

of the parathyroid gland
parathyroid hormone- this hormone regulates calcium in the blood

Answer 24

cortisol, aldosterone, adrenaline, and noradrenaline.

Question 25

Answer 25

estrogen and progesterone

Question 26

hormones of the testes
