Part 1 Flashcards
Endocrine and nervous system
Help integrate and coordinate the activities of the body
- promote homeostasis
Endocrine system functions
- regulates long-term processes
-growth
-development
-reproduction
-uses chemical messengers(hormones) to relay information and instructions between cells
Hormone production and secretion is controlled by
Negative feedback
The hypothalamus controls the
Pituitary gland
Glands
-Pituitary (anterior,posterior)
-the adrenal glands
-the thyroid
-parathyroid
-thymus
-pineal gland
-pancreas
-gonads
Hypothalamus
ADH, oxytocin, regulatory hormone
Pineal gland
Melatonin
Parathyroid gland(located on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland)
PTH
Anterior lobe
ACTH
TSH
GH
PRL
FSH
LH
MSH
Posterior lobe
Oxytocin
ADH
Thyroid gland
Thyroxine (T4)
Triiodothyronine (T3)
Calcitonin (CT)
Adrenal medulla
Epinephrine
Norepinephrine
Adrenal cortex
Cortisone
Cortisol
Aldosterone
Androgens
Pancreas (pancreatic islets)
Insulin
Glucagon
Somatostatin
Pancreatic polypeptide
Heart
-secrete natriurectic peptides
- Atrial natriurectcic peptide (ANP)
-Brain natriuretic peptides (BNP)
