Endocrine System Pt. 2

Question 1

What type of stimuli causes ADH release

Answer 1

Humoral because the osmotic pressure in the blood signals that we need more water

Question 2

What stimuli causes OXT release?

Answer 2

Hormonal because our hormones help baby get out with positive feedback and neural because suckling causes more release

Question 3

What hormones are released by the anterior pituitary gland?

Answer 3

FLAT PIG

Question 4

What is FSH and what it do?

Answer 4

Follicle stimulating hormone;
Stimulates male spermatogenesis and female oocyte maturation.
Inhibited by inhibin by cells in testes and ovaries

Question 5

What is LH and what it do?

Answer 5

Luteinizing hormone;
Stimulates male testes to produce testosterone and female ovaries to produce estrogen (which cause secondary sexual development)
A surge in LH causes ovulation

Question 6

What is ACTH and what it do?

Answer 6

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone;
Corticotropin releasing hormone causes pituicytes to release ACTH into capillaries that drain into cerebral venous system
Travels through systemic circulation to adrenal cortex stress hormone- cortisol

Question 7

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone;
Regulates metabolism by the hypothalamus looking at energy stores in the body.

Question 8

Answer 8

Prolactin;
Stimulates mammary gland development and milk production in females
Inhibited by PIH (tyrosine derivative)

Question 9

What is GH and what it do?

Answer 9

Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) leads to release of Growth hormone which stimulates tissue growth and metabolism
Somatostatin decreases GH and opposes GHRH
