Horomones and Endocrine Questions Flashcards
Melatonin
Pineal - Thalamus - Effects sleep=drowsiness
TSH - Thyroid Stimulating Horomone
APG - Thyroid - Thyroxin release, cell metabolism control
Adrenocorticotropic Horomone
APG - Adrenal Cortex - stress hormones, cortisol and aldosterone release
HGH - Human Growth Hormone
APG - Somatic Cells - growth of body, cell repair
FSH - Follicle Stimulating Hormone
APG - Follicle & Seminiferous Tubule - females=follicle development (thing that holds egg in ovary), males=sperm development
LH - Luteinizing Hormone
APG - Leydig Cells & Interstitial Cells - female=triggers egg release in ovary, male=testosterone production
MSH - Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone
APG - Melanocytes - Pigment production in hair and skin
Prolactin
APG - Mammary Glands - stims and maintains milk production
Oxytocin
PPG - Uterus & Mammary glands - uterine contraction, milk release
ADH - Anti Diuretic Hormone
PPG - Kidneys - prevents water loss, promotes water reabsorption
Thyroxin
Thyroid - Somatic Cells - increase cell metabolism, body temperature
Calcitonin (Calci - bone - in)
Thyroid - Bones & Teeth - absorb calcium from blood and puts in bones
Parathyroid Hormone
Parathyroid - Bones, muscles, teeth - puts calcium in the bloodstream from targets
Insulin
Pancreas - Somatic cells, liver, muscles - Body cells = absorb glucose as fat, liver and muscle= absorb glucose as glycogen
Glucagon
Pancreas - liver, muscles - raise BS levels, glycogen into glucose
