Endocrinology Flashcards
Differentiate the 2 Types of Glands
Exocrine: secrete through ducts
Endocrine: Secrete to the bloodstream
A. Exocrine
B. Endocrine
- Localized secretion
- Generalized Effect
- Sweat Gland
- Parotid Gland
- Thyroid Gland

Classification of Most Hormones
1. Proteins & Polypeptide
2. Amino Acid Derivative

Known as the controller of other hormones
* Major Controller
Pituitary and Hypothalamus
* Hypothalamus - it controls the ant pituitary
Anterior Pituitary
1. Also known as
2. Originated from
Posterior Pituitary
1. Also known as
2. Originated from
Anterior Pituitary
1. Adenohypophysis
2. From Rathke’s Pouch
Posterior Pituitary
1. Neurohypophysis
2. From neural tissue outgrowth of the Hypothalamus
Hormones produced by the Adenohypophysis
- Follicle Stimulating H
- Luteinizing H
- Adenocorticotropic H
- Growth H
- Thyroid Stimulating H
- Prolactin
1. VR
A. Dopamine
B. Milk Production
2. QC Dopamine
A. Just after birth
B. Before birth
1.B: Increase in A will Decrease B
2. B: A < B
Dopamine = Inhibits Prolactin
This hormone is synthesiized by adenohypohysis
a. FSH
b. GnRH
c. Oxytocin
d. Vasopressin
A: FSH
All the other 3 are synthesized in the hypothalamus
This hormone is synthesiized by neurohypohysis
a. FSH
b. GnRH
c. Oxytocin
d. Vasopressin
e. None
E: None
FSH - Adeno
GnRH - Hypothalamus
Oxytocin & Vasopressin - synthesized in Hypothalamus, Secreted from Neurohypophysis
Hormone that stimulates hepatic gluconeogenesis during fasting state
a. Aldosterone
b. Growth Hormone
c. Insulin
d. Somatostatin
B: Growth Hormone
Hormone that utilizes a second messenger in signal transduction
a. Aldosterone
b. Cortisol
c. Vasopressin
d. Progesterone
B: Vasopressin
A B & D are all steroid Hormones which do not have a second messenger since they are alreaddy located intracellularly
Hormones produced by the Hypothalamus
a. LH & GnRH
b. Oxytocin & GHRH
c. FSH & TRH
d. Prolactin & Oxytocin
B: Oxytocin & GHRH
A: LH: ant Pituitary
C: FSH: Ant Pituitary
D: Prolactin: Ant Pituitary

A. Fasting State
B. Fed State
1. Gluconeogenesis
2. Protein Synthesis in muscles
3. Lipolysis

A. FSH
B. LH
1. Estrogen & Progesterone Production
2. Ovarian Follicle Development
