Q

what does LH do?

A

. stimulates gonads for growth and development and production of sex hormones
. stimulates estrogen formation in ovarian cells
. along with FSH promotes ovulation
. stimulates the formation of corpus lute and promotes its release of progesterone
.estrogen and progesterone prepare the uterus for fertilized egg
. important for milk production

34
Q

What stimulates the release of hGH?

A

the hypothalamic hormone GHRH when blood glucose levels are low

35
Q

what inhibits hGH?

A

GHIH when blood glucose levels are high

36
Q

What are some effects hGH has on protein synthesis?

A

.hGH leads to synthesis of insulin like growth factors by cells of the liver, muscle, cartilage and bone which have similar effects as insulin to promote growth of cells
. Thus hH is involved in the growth of bones and muscles in children as well as promoting healing and repair of tissues throughout life

37
Q

What effects does hGH have on lipolysis?

A

. hGH (along with IGF’s) promote lipolysis and the oxidation of glycerol and fatty acids for ATP production important during fasting or starvation

38
Q

Hyposecretion of hGH in childhood can lead to what condition?

A

pituitary dwarfism

39
Q

hyper secretion of hGH in childhood can lead to what condition?

A

giantism

40
Q

hyper secretion of hGH in adulthood can lead to what condition?

A

acromegaly

41
Q

What does prolactin do?

A

.stimulates milk secretion in mammary glands that have already been primed with 6 other hormones

42
Q

what stimulates the release of PRL
( prolactin)

A

PRH produced by the hypothalamus

43
Q

what does MSH do?

A

act on melanocytes in the epidermis to produce pigment

44
Q

what stimulates the release of MSH?

A

CRH

45
Q

what inhibits MSH?

A

dopamine

46
Q

What hormones does the posterior pituitary release?

A

1.) Oxytocin
2.) antidiuretic

47
Q

What does oxytocin trigger?

A

1.) milk letdown
2.) uterine contrations

48
Q

What does ADH do?

A

increases water reabsorption in the kidney tubules

49
Q

what stimulates the release of ADH?

A

dehdration
loss of blood
diarrhea
excessive sweating

50
Q

hypo secretion of ADH or insufficient ADH receptors can lead to what condition?

A

diabetes insipidus

A

thyroxin

55
Q

what are thyroid hormones made from?

A

tyrosine ( an amino acid) and iodine

56
Q

hyper secretion of thyroid hormones
(hyperthyroidism) leads to what condition/s?

A

.graves disease
. exophthalmos
(protruding eyes)
. hyperthyroidism can also be caused by pituitary tumour or tumour of the thyroid

A

steroid hormones such as

(cortisol)
3.) gonadocorticoids
(androgens)

68
Q

what do mineralocorticoids do?

A

( mainly aldosterone)
acts on the kidneys to:

69
Q

what do glucocorticoids do?

A

( cortisol, corticosterone, cortisone)
target the liver and the rest of the body especially the immune system
1.) regulates metabolism
2.) counters inflammation
3.) depresses immune response
4.) helps with fight or flight

70
Q

what stimulates the secretion of glucocorticoids?

A

ACTH from anterior pituitary which in turn is stimulated by CRH from the hypothalamus

71
Q

What disorders are related to issues with glucacorticoids?

A

Addisons disease
cushings disease
bushings syndrome

72
Q

what do gonadocorticoids do?

A

(androgens)
male sex hormones
DHEA

73
Q

excess androgen production in women ( usually due to adrenal tumour) can lead to what conditions?

A

hirsutism
virilism

74
