Properties of Hormones/Respiratory System Flashcards
Antidivretic hormone (ADH)
Posterior Pituitary= organ that secretes ADH
Stimulus for secretion= blood concentration increases
Target tissue= collecting kidneys & papillary
Oxytocin
Posterior Pituitary= organ that secretes
Stimulus for secretion= fetus, suckling of the nip by infant
Target tissue= milk ducts in uterus
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Anterior Pituitary= organ that secrets
Stimulus for secretion= Thyrotropin releasing hormone
Target tissue= thyroid
Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)
Anterior Pituitary= organ that secretes
Stimulus for secretion= corticotrophin (CRH)
Target tissue= adrenal cortex
Growth Hormone
Anterior Pituitary= organ that secrets
Stimulus for secretion= Growth hormone releasing hormone
Target tissue= nearly all cells
Prolactin
Anterior Pituitary= organ that secretes
Stimulus of secretion= prolactin releasing hormone
Target Tissue= mammary gland
Melatonin
Pineal Gland= organ that secretes
Stimulus for secretion= decreased ambian light
Target Tissue= reticular stimulation in brain system
Thyroxin & Triiodothronine (T4&T3)
Thyroid gland= organ that secretes
Stimulus for secretion= TSH
Target Tissue= all body cells
Calcitonin
Thyroid gland= organ that secretes
Stimulus for secretion= calcium levels in blood rise
Target tissue= bones
Thymosin & Thymopoietin
Thymus= organ that secretes
Stimulus for secretion= development of thympocytes (immature)
Target Tissue= T lymphocyes in thymus
Parathyroid hormone
Parathyroid gland= organ that secretes
Stimulus for secretion= decreased calcium in blood
Target tissue= bone, kidney, small intestine
Cortisol
Adrenal Cortex= organ that secrets
stimulus for secretion= directly by ACTH
Target tissue= most body cells mainly liver, muscle, and adipose
Aldosterone
Adrenal Cortex= organ that secrets
stimulus for secretion= ACTH, increased K+, & hydrogen ions in blood
Target tissue= all body cells
Epinephrine & Norepinephrine
Adrenal Cortex= organ that secretes
Stimulus for secretion= sympathetic nervous system
Target tissue= all body cells
Insulin
Pancreas= organ that secretes
Stimulus for secretion= increase glucose in blood
Target tissue= all body cells
