22
Q

Gonadotropins

A

Luteinizing hormone & follicle stimulating hormone

Steroidgenesis and maturation of gonads

23
Q

Growth hormone

A

Anterior pituitary, stimulate release of somatomedin, cause bone growth

24
Q

Prolactin

A

Anterior pituitary, stimulated by TRH or prolactin releasing factor such as oxytocin

25
Q

Oxytocin

A

Posterior pituitary, milk letdown, uterine contraction

26
Q

Vasopressin

A

Posterior pituitary, water balance, blood pressure

27
Q

Calcitonin

A

Thyroid gland, reduces blood calcium level, oppose PTH

28
Q

PTH

A

Parathyroid hormone, increase blood calcium level, oppose calcitonin

29
Q

Insulin

A

Pancreatic peptide, beta, reduce blood glucose level by storing glucose as glycerin, oppose glucagon

30
Q

Glucagon

A

Pancreatic, alpha, increase blood glucose level by breaking down glycogen in liver, oppose insulin

31
Q

Somatostatin

A

Pancreatic, delta, inhibit insulin and glucagon

32
Q

Steroid hormone

A

Formed from cholesterol, fat-soluble

33
Q

TSH

A

Thyroid stimulating, anterior pituitary, stimulate thyroid gland to produce T4 –> T3, which regulates metabolism

34
Q

Thyroid hormones

A

T4, T3, derived from tyrosine, metabolism

35
Q

Adrenal medullary monoamine hormones

A

Tyrosine -> DA -> norepinephrine -> epinephrine

36
Q

Pineal gland monoamine hormone

A

Tryptophan -> 5HT -> Melatonin (night), serotonin (day)

37
Q

Anterior pituitary origin

A

Rathke’s pouch, outgrowth of roof of mouth

38
Q

Adrenal medulla of adrenal gland

A

Release 3 monoamine hormones, DA, NE, epinephrine

39
Q

Two compartmentalizations function of gonads

A
  1. Steroidgenesis, production of hormone

2. Gametogenesis, production of gametes

40
Q

Semi-niferous tubules

A

Produces sperms in testes

41
Q

Sertoli cells

A

Where sperms are embedded, provide nutrients

42
Q

Leydig interstitial cells

A

Hormone producing cells in testes, in between tubules

43
Q

Follicle

A

Contains egg in ovary

44
Q

Corpora lutea

A

Structure that develops fro follicles after egg is released

45
Q

Thecal cells

A

Secrete estrogens, have receptors for LH and can produce androgen from cholesterol in response to LH

46
Q

Granulosa cells

A

Surround oocytes(immature egg), convert androgen to estrogen in response to FSH, and produce progesterone in response to LH

47
Q

SRY

A

Encodes testis determination factor, which causes medulla of germinal ridge to develop into a testis

48
Q

Dual anlagen

A

Presence of both accessory sex organs at the beginning

49
Q

Müllerian duct

A

No hormone, then develop into Fallopian tubes, cervix, uterus

50
Q

Wolffian duct

A

In presence of testosterone and MIH, develop into seminal vesicles and vas deferens

51
Q

MIH

A

Mullerian inhibitory hormone, makes Müllerian duct regress

52
Q

DHT

A

5-a dihydrotestosterone, converted from testosterone by enzyme 5a-reductase, necessary for development of penis

53
Q

CAH

A

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, adrenal glands produce too much androgen as opposed to cortisol, masculinization of genitals in females

54
Q

CAIS

A

Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, androgen receptors don’t function, XY males have female genitalia but with testes, raised as girls but sterile

55
Q

5a- reductase deficiency

A

XY males born with ambiguous genitalia, raised as girls, but become men at puberty
