Hormones Flashcards
GHRH (+) and GHIH/somatostatin (-)
Associated with Growth Hormone
PRH (+) and PIH/dopamine (-) and TRH (+)
Associated with Prolactin
TRH (+)
Associated with Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
CRH (+) and GHIH (-) anterior
Associated with Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)
GnRH (+)
Associated with follicle stimulating (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)
Growth Hormone
AP Many tissues/promotes growth
Prolactin
AP Breast tissue/promotes milk production
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
AP Thyroid/Stimulates thyroid hormone release T3 and T4
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)
AP Adrenal cortex/stimulates hormone release cortisol
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
AP Gonads/stimulates gamete production
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
AP Gonads/stimulates androgen production Androgens male, estrogens and progesterone female
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
PP Kidney/stimulates water reabsorption
Oxytocin
PP Uterus/stimulates uterine contractions
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone
Interfundibulum Many tissues/stimulates melanin production
Cortisol
released by adrenal glands, involved in stress response
Glucagon
raises blood glucose levels under hypoglycemia (alpha cells)
Insulin
lowers blood glucose level under hyperglycemia (beta cells)
Somatostatin
major inhibitory hormone which targets most major hormonal systems (gamma cells)
Grehlin
known as a hunger hormone, it induces hunger due to decreased macronutrient concentrations by targeting the hypothalamus (epsilon cells)
