Hormones (lab practical) Flashcards
4 hormones produced in the hypothalamus
Oxytocin
Vasopressin
Releasing hormones
Inhibiting hormones
Hormone that initiates labor
Oxytocin
Hormone that decreases urine output and retains H20
Vasopressin
2 hormones released in the posterior pituitary gland
Oxytocin and Vasopressin
Anterior pituitary gland hormones (7):
Growth hormone (GH) Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Lutenizing hormone (LH) Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) Prolactin (PRL)
Targets whole body
GH
Targets thyroid
TSH
Targets adrenal cortex
ACTH
Targets ovary maturation
FSH
Targets ovary ovulation
LH
Targets melanin in skin
MSH
Targets mammary glands
PRL
Gland involved in immunity
Thymus gland
3 hormones made in thymus gland
Thymosin
Thymus Humeral Factor
Thymopoietin
Pineal gland hormone:
Melatonin
Hormone involved in sleep & circadian rhythm
Melatonin
2 hormones made in thyroid gland
Thyroxin
Calcitonin
Hormone found in parathyroid glands
PTH
5 hormones produced in adrenal glands
Mineralocorticoids Glucocorticoids Androgens Adrenaline (Epinephrine) Noradrenaline (Norepinephrine)
3 hormones produced in adrenal cortex (outside)
Mineralocorticoids
Glucocorticoids
Androgens
2 hormones produced in adrenal medulla (inside)
Adrenaline (Epinephrine)
Noradrenaline (Norepinephrine)
2 hormones produced in the pancreas
Glucagon
Insulin
Hormone that raises blood sugar level- alpha cells
Glucagon
Hormone that lowers blood sugar level- beta cells
Insulin
2 hormones produced in the ovaries
Estrogen
Progesterone
Hormone produced in the testes
Testosterone
Cortex of adrenal gland is derived from:
Mesoderm
Medulla of adrenal gland is derived from:
Neural crest
Kidney cortex derived from:
Intermediate mesoderm
Medulla consists of:
Loop of henle and collecting duct
Cortex consists of:
Proximal + distal convoluted tubules, bowman’s capsule, glomerulus
What hormones act on the ovary?
FSH and LH
What hormones act on the thyroid gland?
TSH
What hormone acts on the adrenal gland?
ACTH
Hormone that raises calcium level
Thyroxin
Hormone that tones down/decreases calcium level
Calcitonin
Hormone that is an anti-inflammatory agent
Glucocorticoid
Hormone that turns lymph cells into T cells
Thymosin
Hormone that constricts arterioles
Noradrenaline
Rapid growth spurts
Androgen
Hormone that stimulates secretion of testosterone
LH
Hormone that raises level of calcium in blood
Parathyroid hormone
Process of hormone secretion (example: TSH)
hypo -> TSHRH -> A.P. -> blood -> thyroid gland produces thyroxin or calcitonin until calcium level is sufficient -> hypo -> TSHIH -> A.P. shuts off TSH
What hormone acts on the mammary gland?
PRL
What hormone acts on the whole body?
GH
What hormone acts on skin?
MSH
