Hormone Flashcards
Hormone
ADH (aka vasopressin)
made in hypothalamus, stored in posterior pit.
targets CD of kidney, increasing aquaporins to increase water reabsorption.
Oxytocin
made in hypothalamus, stored in posterior pit.
targets mammary gland, release of milk
FSH
anterior pituitary, targets ovaries and testes.
regulates oogenesis and spermatogenesis
females: follicle growth, results in estrogen and progesterone production
males: sperm maturation
LH
Anterior pituitary, targets ovaries and testes.
regulates oogenesis and spermatogenesis
females: surge causes ovulation, results in corpus luteum formation, which produces estrogen and progesterone
males: triggers testosterone production by leydig cells
ACTH
Anterior pituitary, targets adrenal cortex.
Secretes glucocorticoids (ex is cortisol)
TSH
anterior pituitary, targets thyroid
Secretion of T4 and T3
Prolactin
Anterior Pituitary, targets mammary glands
production of milk
Growth Hormone
Anterior Pituitary, targets bone and muscle
Stimulates growth
Glucagon
Pancreas ALPHA cells, targets liver
I sure hope you know this, 1/3 of PSIO 303 was about this and insulin.
increases blood glucose fatty fatty
Insulin
pancreas BETA cells, targets liver and muscle fat
Again, the entire PSIO 303 final was on this, PLEASE know it lowers blood glucose.
Skinny queen
Cortisol (glucocorticoid)
Adrenal cortex, targets everything.
Increases blood glucose.
Aldosterone (mineralcorticoid)
Adrenal cortex, targets kidney
increased reabsorption of Na+ and secretion of K+ in DCT and CD of kidney. Also affects water as it follows solutes.
T4 and T3
Thyroid, targets everything
Increases cell metabolism make you skinny
Calcitonin
thyroid, targets boners
lower blood Ca2+ by inhibiting osteoclasts, thus less Ca2+ released into blood
PTH
parathyroid gland, targets bone
Calcitonin evil twin, increases blood Ca2+ by stimulating osteoclasts, and inhibiting osteoblasts.
