Lab Exam 1 Flashcards
Lab Exam 1
Increases basal metabolic rate, stimulates energy consumption and protein synthesis (from follicular cells)
T3/T4
Increases release rates of lipids, glucose, and amino acids (secreted by the zona fasciculata)
Cortisol
Increases blood volume through sodium reabsorption at the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of the kidney’s nephron
Aldosterone
It inhibits glucagon and insulin, as well as various gastrointestinal hormones
Somatostatin
Increases calcium by increasing renal excretion of phosphate, increases osteoclast activity (secreted by the chief cells).
Parathyroid
Stimulates production of alkaline buffers from the pancreas and bile secretion from the liver
Secretin
Stimulation of appetite, energy homeostasis, increases gastric acid secretion preparing body to intake food
Ghrelin
Reduces blood calcium
Calcitonin
Stimulates uterine contractions, milk ejection, and various social behaviors.
Oxytocin
Monitors the circadian rhythm (day-night cycle)
Melatonin
Increases bone density, muscle mass, and male secondary sexual characteristics
Testosterone
Stimulates cell division and growth (specially muscle, bone, and cartilage) and release of stored nutrients
Growth Hormone
Stimulates milk synthesis and breast enlargement in preparation for lactation
Prolactin
Increases Calcium levels through the absorption of Calcium in our Gastrointestinal system as well as from our kidneys.
Calcitriol
Prompt RBC production at the bone marrow. Stimulated by low oxygen
EPO
Promotes the absorption of glucose from our blood (produced by pancreatic beta cells)
Insulin
“Fight or flight” hormone
Norepinephrine
Synthesized in the skin by UV B exposure
Cholecalciferol
Stimulates the gallbladder to release bile
Cholecystokinin
Supports pregnancy, and is an integral part of the menstrual cycle’s luteal phase (produced by the corpus luteum)
Progesterone
Promotes water reabsorption at the collecting tubule of kidney’s nephron and increases blood volume
ADH
Stimulates production of color
Melanin
Inhibits FSH production once elevated
Inhibin
Promotes female secondary sexual characteristics, supports follicle maturation, and associated behaviors
Estrogen
Causes loss of sodium and water and causes renal suppression of ADH and aldosterone production
ANP
Elevates blood glucose by breaking down liver glycogen (produced by pancreatic alpha cells)
Glucagon
Stimulates the release of HCL from parietal cells and aids in gastric motility
Gastrin
It is the precursor of angiotensin I by combining with renin
Angiotensinogen
Deals with appetite suppression and energy expenditure by regulating the amount of fat stored.
Leptin
