A

Gigantism in children and acromegaly in adults

33
Q

What is underproduction of growth hormone

34
Q

What does adrenocorticotropic hormone do

A

Q

What organs does follicle stimulating hormone target

A

Ovaries and testes

40
Q

What does prolactin do

A

Targets mammary glands and stimulates milk production

41
Q

What does elevated levels of prolactin do

A

Decrease estrogen and testosterone levels

42

What does thyroid stimulating hormone do

A

Stimulates thyroid hormone production T3 and T4

43
Q

What is overproduction and under production of thyroid stimulating hormone

A

Overproduction hyperthyroidism underproduction hypothyroidism

44
Q

What does oxytocin do

A

Targets the uterus causing uterine contractions causes milk ejection

45
Q

What does antidiuretic hormone do

A

Targets the kidney tubules Causes less water to be released

What does the Zona reticularis produce

A

Gonadocorticoids

57
Q

What do each of these layers control

A

Glomerulosa controls electrolyte levels in blood
Fasciculata promotes gluconeogenesis
