Question 12

Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH)

Answer 12

Stimulates secretion of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)

Question 13

Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH)

Answer 13

Stimulates secretion of Foliculotropin (FSH) and Luteotropin (LH)

Question 14

Prolacin-Inhibithing Hormone (PIH)

Answer 14

Inhibits prolactin secretion

Question 15

Somatostatin

Answer 15

Inhibits secretion of Somatotropin (GH)

Question 16

Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone (TRH)

Answer 16

Stimulates secretion of Thyrotropin (TSH)

Question 17

Growth Hormome-Releasing Hormone (GHRH)

Answer 17

Stimulates Somatotropin (GH) secretion.

Question 18

Mineralcorticoids

Answer 18

Aldosterone, most potent
Produced in the Zona Glomerulosa
Stimulates the kidneys to retain Na and water while excreting K in the urine.
Helps to increase blood volume and pressure and regulate the blood electrolyte balance.

Question 19

Glucocorticoids

Answer 19

Cortisol, most predominate
Secreted by the Zona Fasciculata
Stimulated by ACTH from the Anterior Pituitary (Andohypohysis)
Regulates the metabolism of glucose and other organic molecules

Question 20

Sex Steroids

Answer 20

DHEA, Dehydroepiandrosterone (weak androgens)
Derived from Cholesterol.
Different zones of the Adrenal Cortex
Supplements the androgens secreted by the gonads.

Question 21

follicular cells

Answer 21

Synthesis the thyroxine

Question 22

Parafollicular cells

Answer 22

secrete Calcitonin

Question 23

Calcitonin

Answer 23

Regulates the Ca levels of the blood. Inhibits the dissolution of Ca-Phosphate crystals of the bone and stimulates the excretion of Ca in the urine by the kidneys.

Question 24

Alpha Cells of the Pancreatic Islets (Islets of Langerhans)

Answer 24

Secrete Glucagon in response to fall in blood glucose concentration
Stimulates the liver to hydrolyze glycogen in to glucose (glycogenolysis), which causes the blood glucose level to rise.
Also stimulates the hydrolysis of stored fat (lipolysis)

Question 25

Beta Cells of the Pancreatic Islets (Islets of Langerhans)

Answer 25

Secrete Insulin in response to a riese in blood glucose
Promotes entry of glucose into the tissue cells. and the conversion of glucose into energy stored molecules of glycogen and fat.
