Endocrine Structures and Functions Regulated by Hormone Secretion Flashcards
Hypothalamus
controls hormone secretions
Pineal Gland
Reproductive maturation; body rhythms
Anterior Portion of Pituitary Gland
Hormone secretion by thyroid, adrenal cortex, and gonads; growth
Posterior portion of pituitary gland
Water balance; salt balance
Thyroid
Growth and development; metabolic rate
Adrenal gland-cortex (outer bark)
Salt and carbohydrate metabolism; inflammatory reactions
Adrenal gland- medulla (inner core)
Emotional arousal; stress response
Pancreas (islets of Langerhans)
Sugar metabolism
Gut
digestion and appetite control
Gonads (testes/ovaries)
Body development; maintenance of reproductive organs in adults
Hormones associates with Thyroid
Triiodothyronine, Thyroxine
Hormones associated with Hypothalamus
Thyroptin-releasing hormone, Dopamine, Growth hormone(releasing), Somatostatin, Gonadotropic (releasing), Corticotropic (releasing), Oxytocin, Vasopressin
Hormones associated with pineal gland
Melatonin
hormones associated with Anterior pituitary gland
growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, Follicule-stimulating hormone, Luteinizing hormone, Prolactin
hormones associated with Posterior pituitary gland
oxytocin, vasopressin, oxytocin (stored), anti-diuretic hormone (stored)
