Exam One Study Guide Flashcards
Action: increase linear height in children
Somatotropin (STH)
Means: protein formation, cell proliferation, differentiation
Somatotropin (STH)
Action: metabolism in adults
Human Growth Hormone (hGH)
Action: metabolism of glucose, proteins, and fat
Adrenocorticotropic or corticotrophin (ACTH)
Action: mammary gland development and milk production
Lactotropes - prolactin hormones
Action: stimulate growth of ovaries and testes
Gonadotropins
Means: stimulates the production of LH and FSH
Gonadotropins
Action: stimulates melanocytes
Melanotropin
What is the site for hGH or STH?
Adenohypophysis (PPP)
Means: Stimulate protein anabolism (carbohydrate and lipid catabolism)
hGH and STH
What diseases can be caused by issues with hGH and STH?
Gigantism, acromegaly
What are symptoms of gigantism and acromegaly?
Bossing of forehead, headache, tissue proliferation
What is the site for somatostatin (SS)?
Hypothalamus, stomach, small intestine, D cells of pancreas (PPP)
Action: decrease synthesis of STH, decrease insulin, decrease glucagon
Somatostatin (SS)
Action: increase BP, immunity, blood glucose
STH
What is a disease cause by issues with somatostatin (SS)?
Pituitary tumor
What is the site for insulin like growth factor (IGF1) or somatomedin (SM)?
Liver, kidney (PPP)
Action: facilitates with increase of linear height
Insulin like growth factor (IGF1) or somatomedin (SM)
Means: stimulates protein anabolism, osteoblast cells, and increase of cellular uptake of glucose
IGF1 or somatomedin (SM)
What is the site for luteotropin (LTH)?
Adenohypophysis (PPP)
Action: stimulates development of mammary glands and stimulates milk production
Luteotropin (LTH)
