Exercise 27 Flashcards
loss of glucose in the urine
insulin
a mixed gland, located behind the stomach and close to the small intestine
pancreas
the —– gland is composed of two lobes and located in the throat, just inferior to the larynx
thyroid
the pituitary gland, also known as the —–, is located in the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone
hypothalamus
* master endocrine gland
excessive urine output without high blood glucose levels
ADH
found on the roof of the third ventricle of the brain
pineal
acidophil cells of the anterior pituitary
GH, prolactin
produces the hormones that are stored in the posterior pituitary
adrenal
regulates blood calcium level
PTH
form the endocrine portion of the pancreas
pancreatic islets
regulate the function of another endocrine gland (tropic)
FSH, LH, ACTH, TSH
alpha cells of the pancreatic islets
glucagon
parafollicular cells of the thyroid
calcitonin
an —– gland is a ductless gland thay empties its hormone into the extracellar fluid
endocrine
if hormones travel in the bloodstream, why don’t all tissues respond to all hormones?
because receptors are specialized
directly resposible for regulation of the menstral cycle
estrogen and progesterone
directly involved in milk production and ejectetion
oxtocine and prolactin
drive development of secondary sex characteristics in males
testosterone
demineralization of bones, spontaneous fractures; loss of calcium
PTH
nervousness, irregular pulse rate, sweating
T3/T4
abnormally small stature, normal proportions
growth hormone (GH)
found in the pelvic cavity of the female, concerned with ova and female hormone production
ovaries
chemically, hormones belong chiefly to two molecular groups, the —– and the ——-.
steriod and the non-steriod, amines, peptides, proteins, gycycoproteins
follicular cells of the thyroid
T4/T3
parathyroid cells
PTH
this gland os rahter large in an infant, begins to atrophy at puberty, and is relatively inconvenienous by old age. it produces hormones that direct the maturation of t-cells. it is the —– gland
thymus
zona glomerulosa cells
mineralocorticoids
regulates blood glucose level; produced by the same “mixed” gland
insulin and glucagon
bilbed gland located in the sella turcica
pituitary
product of endocrine glands transported by tissue fluid to target cells
hormone
paired glands suspended in the scrotum
testes
zona fasciculata cells
glucocoriticoids
maintain salt and water balance in the extracellular fluid
aldosterone and ADH
basophil cells of the anterior pituitary
TSH,ACTH,FSH,LH
uses electrical signals that are instant compared to hormones that take more time to be delivered to target cell
nervous system
found on the upper thorax overlying the heart; large during youth
thymus
in the adult: large bones of the hands, feet, and face
growth hormone (GH)
located in the anterior neck; produces key hormones for metabolism
thyroid
controls the rate of body metabolism and cellular oxidation
T3/T4
beta cells of the pancreatic islets
insulin
tetany
PTH
* muscle spasms in intervals
released in response to stressor
cortisol and epinephrine
