Endocrine System Flashcards
What two divisions is the pituitary gland split into?
The adenohypophysis (anterior) and neurohypophysis (posterior)
What is the adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis branch into?
Adenohypophysis: pars distalis, pars intermedia, and pars tuberalis
Neurohypophysis: pars nervose
What hormones are produced by the Adenohypophysis?
ACTH, PRL, GH, LH, FSH, TSH, MSH
What hormones are produced by Neurohypophysis?
OT & ADH
What hormone does ADH target?
kidneys
What hormone does OT target?
male: smooth muscle cells
female: uterus
What hormone does MSH target?
melanocytes
What hormone does FSH & LH target?
male: testes
female: ovaries
What hormone does PRL target?
mammary glands
What hormone does GH target?
liver
What hormone does TSH target?
thyroid gland
What hormone does ACTH target?
adrenal gland (cortex and medulla)
What hormones are produced in the thyroid gland?
T3, T4, and Calcitonin
What stimulates the release of Parathyroid Hormone?
Calcium levels
What hormones are produced in the kidneys?
Erythropoietin, calcitriol, and renin
What hormones are produced by the Adrenal Cortex?
Cortisol, corticosterone, and aldosterone
What hormones are produced in the Adrenal Medulla?
Epinephrine and Noepinephrine
What stimulates the kidneys hormone (Renin)?
Blood pressure
What hormone stimulates the release of Cortisol?
ACTH
What stimulates the release of the Pancreas hormones- insulin and glucagon?
Glucose levels
What hormones are produced in the Pancreas?,
Insulin and Glucagon
What hormones stimulates the Testes release of testosterone?
LH
What hormones are produced in the Testes?
Testosterone
What’s hormone stimulates the release of the ovary’s hormones- Estrogen and Progesterone?
FSH
What hormones are produced in the Ovary’s (corpus luteum)?
Estrogen and Progesterone
What hormone is secreted in the Thymus?
Thymosin
What hormone is secreted in the heart?
Atrial natriuretic peptide
What hormone is secreted in the Liver?
Somatomedin
What are the 3 zones of the Adrenal Cortex & what is produced there?
Zona glomerulosa: mineralcorticoids (Aldosterone, NA and K balance)
Zona fasciculata: glucocorticoids (cortisol)
Zona reticularis: Androgens
What produces OT and ADH?
Hypothalamus
Name the histology slide.
Corpus Luteum
this structure is located in the ovary
Name the histology slide.
Thymus
The thymus is located inferior-medial to the clavicle
Name the histology slide.
Testis
Name the histology slide.
Parathyroid
this is located laterally to the thyroid
Name the histology slide.
Thyroid
notice the follicles, it looks like white bubbles/ fat
Name the histology slide.
Graafian Follicle
this is the second largest of the follicles in the ovaries
Name the histology slide.
Primary Follicle
this is the smallest of the follicles in the ovaries
Name the histology slide.
Secondary Follicle
this is the second smallest of the follicles in the ovaries
Name the histology slide.
Adrenal Gland
the zones are different colors
