16
Q

PTH

A

Parathyroid hormone in parathyroid
-Increases blood calcium levels by taking calcium from bones. Opposite of calcitonin

17
Q

Adrenal gland CORTEX hormones

A

-Aldosterone or mineralocorticoids
-Glucocorticoids
-Sex hormones

18
Q

Aldosterone/Mineralocorticoids

A

Adrenal gland cortex
-regulates water and electrolyte levels

19
Q

Glucocorticoids (2)

A

In Adrenal cortex
-Cortisol and cortisone

20
Q

Cortisol

A

In adrenal cortex
-Helps resist long term stressors by increasing blood glucose levels

21
Q

Cortisone

A

In adrenal cortex
-Anti-inflammatory

22
Q

Sex hormones

A

In adrenal cortex
-mainly testosterone but some estrogen

23
Q

Adrenal gland MEDULLA hormones

A

Epinephrine and norepinephrine

24
Q

Epinephrine and norepinephrine

A

Adrenal medulla
-Deals w/ short term stress by increasing HR, BP, and blood glucose levels
-Dilates small passageways of lungs
-followed by a crash

25
Q

Pancreas and 2 hormones

A

Insulin and glucagon

26
Q

Insulin

A

Pancreas
-Increases rate of glucose uptake and metabolism by body cells (decreased blood glucose levels)

27
Q

Glucagon

A

Pancreas
-Stimulates the liver to release glucose to blood, thus increasing blood glucose levels.

28
Q

Thymus gland hormone

A

Thymosin

29
Q

Thymosin

A

Thymus
-Develops immune system in children to support their weak immune sys
-large in childhood and shrinks in adulthood

30
Q

Pineal gland and 2 hormones

A

Melatonin and serotonin

31
Q

Melatonin

A

Pineal gland
-Helps establish the body’s sleep and wake cycles as well as biological rhythms

32
Q

Seritonin

A

Pineal gland
-Produced/secreted from pineal gland. 90% stays in intestines
-effects mood, digestion, sleep quality, wound healing, and bone health

33
Q

Ovary hormones

A

Estrogen and progesterone

34
Q

Estrogen

A

Ovary
-Matures female repro organs
-W/ progesterone, estrogen can also promote breast development and regulate menstrual cycle

35
Q

Progesterone

A

Ovary
-acts w/ estrogen to bring about menstrual cycle
-helps in the implantation of an embryo in uterus

36
Q

Testes hormone

A

Testosterone

37
Q

Testosterone

A

Testes
-Promotes growth and maturation of male repro system
-Required for sperm cell production
