Q

If there is too much glucose in the blood, what hormone is released from where, and where is it directed?

A

Released from the Islets of Langerhans in the Pancreas, it releases Insulin and is directed to the liver. Then the Glucose is converted into Glycogen.

17
Q

If there is too little glucose in the blood, what hormone is released from where, and where is it directed?

A

Released from the Islets of Langerhans in the Pancreas, it releases Glucagon and is directed to the liver. Then the Glycogen is converted into Glucose.

18
Q

If there is too much calcium in the blood, what hormone is released, and where is it directed?

A

Released from the Thyroid, it releases Calcitonin and is directed towards the bones, kidneys, and small intestine

19
Q

If there is too little calcium in the blood, what hormone is released, and where is it directed?

A

Released from the Parathyroid, it releases Parathyroid Hormone and is directed towards the bones, kidneys, and small intestine.

20
Q

When you have too little water in your system/ dehydration what hormone is released and where is it targeted?

A

Released from the Hypothalamus, it sends nerve impulses to the Posterior Pituitary and released ADH, and is targeted to the Kidneys.

21
Q

When you have low blood pressure what hormone is released and where is it targeted?

A

Released from the Hypothalamus, it releases ACTH- RF towards the Anterior Pituitary, where it releases ACTH, then to the adrenal cortex where Aldosterone is released to the Kidneys.

22
Q

If you are undergoing short term stress, what hormone is released, where is it targeted, and what are the effects?

A

The Sympathetic Nervous system will send an ‘alert’ to the Adrenal medulla in which it releases Epinephrine/ Adrenaline. IN which it causes Increased blood glucose, blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, and blood to the muscles and pupils dilate.

23
Q

If you are undergoing prolonged stress what hormone is released, where is it targeted?

A

Released from the Hypothalamus, it releases ACTH- RF towards the Anterior Pituitary, where it releases ACTH, then to the adrenal cortex where Cortisol is released to the Body Cells.

24
Q

What does ACTH stand for?

A

Adrenocorticotropic hormone

25
Q

what 2 hormones cause changes in calcium levels?

A

Calcitonin, and PTH.
