just the hormones Flashcards
aldosterone
fluid volume regulation: Na + H2O retention
secreted by adrenal glands
atrial natriuretic peptide
fluid volume regulation: Na + H2O excretion
secreted by atria
anti-diuretic hormone
fluid volume regulation: H2O retention
secreted by the pituitary gland
T3
triiodothyronine - energy!
secreted by thyroid gland
T4
thyroxine - energy!
secreted by thyroid gland
calcitonin
decreases serum Ca by returning it to bone
secreted by thyroid gland
thyroid gland function
body metabolism and growth
dietary iodine
needed to make hormones
parathyroid hormone
pull Ca from bone and into serum - serum Ca goes up
secreted by parathyroid gland, duh
adrenal glands function
stress
regulates sodium and electrolyte balance
epinephrine
catecholamine secreted by adrenal medulla
norepinephrine
catecholamine secreted by adrenal medulla
major mineralocorticoid
aldosterone
major glucocorticoid
cortisol
adrenocorticotropin hormones (ACTH)
stimulate adrenal cortex to produce cortisol
secreted by pituitary
parathyroid glands function
control Ca and P metabolism
insulin
secreted by beta cells of pancreas
promotes glucose and K+ uptake into cells
glucagon
secreted by alpha cells of pancreas
promotes increased concentration of serum glucose
