hormones Flashcards
PTH
Parathyroid
Increase Ca2+ in blood
Calcitonin
Thyroid
Increase Ca2+ in bones
Oxytocin OXT
Hypothalamus
Contractions/birth, milk secretion, bonding
ADH
Hypothalamus
Conserve water
note: alco inhibits ADH
TSH
Ant. Pituitary
Metabolism
Prolactin
Ant. Pituitary
Milk production
FSH
Ant. Pituitary
spermatogenesis, follicle growth, ova maturation
LH
Ant. Pituitary
spermatogenesis, release testosterone, ovulation
ACTH
Ant. Pituitary
Release cortisol (stress) and Aldosterone (salt lover)
GH
Ant. Pituitary
Growth
TH
Thyroid
↑ metabolic rate, regulate tissue growth and development, BP by ↑ adregenic receptors
Aldosterone
Adrenal cortex
Salt lover, ↓ Na+ excretion (↑ K+ elimination)
Angio II
Converted by Ace
Stimulate release of aldosterone, vasoconstriction, stimulate the release of ADH, ↑ thirst
ANP/BNP
Heart/Brain
↓ BP by ↓ Na+, inhibit raas (blocks renin/aldosterone secretion). ANP also dilates coronary arteries.
Renin
Kidney (enzyme)
Activates raas, Converts angiotensinogen to angio I
ACE
Lungs (enzyme)
Convert Angio I to Angio II
Cortisol
Adrenal cortex
Stress. Gluconeogenesis, enhance symp vasoconstriction
E
Adrenal medulla
↑ HR, ↑ metabolic rate, ↑ BP (vasoconstriction)
NE
Adrenal medulla
↑ HR, ↑ metabolic rate, ↑ BP (vasoconstriction)
Testosterone
Gonads
Maturation of male reproductive organs, male scondary characteristics. Necessary for normal sperm production and maintainance of male repro organs.
Estrogen
Gonads
Maturation of reproductive organs, secondary female characteristics
Progesterone
Progesterone
Acting with progesterone, estrogen promote breast development and changes in uterine mucosa
Melatonin
Melatonin
Dracula hormone, rises at night, unknown - maybe sleep/wake
Glucogon
Pancreas
Hyperglycemic, breaks down glycogen to glucose, ↑ blood glucose
