exam 4 patho Flashcards
exocrine vs endocrine
exo: contains ducts (pancres-amylase/lipase)
endo: ductless-> circulation (insulin/glucagon)
pineal gland
info abt light and dark-> melatonin (secreted at night)
pituitary gland
master gland
Anterior: GH, ACTH, TSH, FSH, LH, prolactin
posterior (storage): oxy, ADH
GH
bones/muscles (adrenal/cortical hormone)
height=genes+ GH
ACTH
stim sec/synthesis of ACH
FSH
males: inc sperm production
females: growth ovarian follicles/ovulation
LH
male: stim sec testosterone
female: stim dev corpus luteum, release of oocyte (egg cell), prod estrogen/progesterone
prolactin
prepares fem breasts for breast feeding (inc during PG/lact)
Oxytocin
stored in post pit
stim contraction of PG uterus, milk, ejection at birth
should place baby immediately on breast-> stim oxy-> helps uterine contraction (protective)
ADH
inc water reabsorption
hypothalamus
regulated pituitary
pancreas
has islets of langerhans
glucagon: alpha cells, inc BG
insulin: B cells, dec BG
thyroid
at base of neck, below larynx
contains follicles
secretes calcitonin and T3/4
calcitonin
sec from thyroid
dec blood/ca level by bringing ca to bones
T3/4
inc metabolic rate. esp necessary for fetal/infant G&D. also, inc responsiveness to catecholamines
