16
Q

Melatonin:

A

(from pineal gland)

amino acid derivative thought to have connection with regulating sleep

17
Q

Thymus gland hormones:

A

Thymosin
Thymus humeral factor
Thymopoietin

18
Q

Thymosin
Thymus humeral factor
Thymopoietin

A

convert embryonic lymphocytes into T-cells

19
Q

Thyroid gland hormones:

A

Thyroxin

Calcitonin

20
Q

Thyroxin:

A

(from thyroid gland)

regulates rate of metabolism

21
Q

Calcitonin:

A

(from thyroid gland)

decreases levels of calcium in the blood by inhibiting osteoclasts and increasing calcium excretion

22
Q

What is partially antagonistic to parathyroid hormones?

A

calcitonin

23
Q

Parathyroid gland hormones:

A

Parathyroid hormone (PTH)

24
Q

Parathyroid hormone (PTH):

A

(from parathyroid hormone)
-raises the level of calcium in the blood by inhibiting osteoblasts and promoting osteoclasts and promoting calcium reabsorption by the kidneys

25
Q

What is partially antagonistic to calcitonin?

A

parathyroid hormones

26
Q

Adrenal gland hormones:

A 
Cortex: 
mineralcorticoids
glucocorticoids
androgens
Medulla:
adrenaline
noradrenaline
27
Q

Mineralcorticoids:

A

(from the cortex of the adrenal gland)

regulate sodium retention and potassium loss (e.g. aldosterone)

28
Q

Glucocorticoids:

A

(from the cortex of the adrenal gland)

act as anti-inflammatory agents; affect metabolism of food

29
Q

Androgens:

A

(from the cortex of the adrenal gland)

regulates control over rapid growth spurts in preadolescents

30
Q

Adrenaline:

A

(from the medulla of the adrenal gland)

increases heart rate and blood pressure

31
Q

Noradrenaline:

A

(from the medulla of the adrenal gland)

constricts arterioles

32
Q

Pancreas hormones:

A

glucagon

insulin

33
Q

Glucagon:

A

(from the pancreas)

from alpha cells of pancreatic islets, raises blood glucose level

34
Q

Insulin:

A

(from the pancreas)

from beta cells of pancreatic islets, lowers blood glucose level

35
Q

Ovary hormones:

A

estrogens

progesteron + estrogens

36
Q

Estrogens:

A

(from the ovary)

stimulate development of female sex organs and sexual characteristics

37
Q

Progesterone + estrogens:

A

(from the ovary)

  • regulate menstrual cycle
  • maintain pregnancy in presence of developing embryo or fetus
38
Q

Testes hormones:

A

testosterone

39
Q

Testosterone:

A

(from the testes)
stimulate development of male sex organs, secondary sexual characteristics, and behavioral features
-functions of testosterone and its secretion is tied to secretion of LH from anterior pituitary gland
