Kidney
3. What hormone is stimulated by HCG and oestrogen Progesterone Oxytocin Prolactin Thyroid
Thyroid

Adrenal medulla
Adrenal cortex
Adrenal cortex
5. Which hormone can increase blood pressure in pregnancy Aldosterone Renin Cortisol Angiotensin II
Cortisol
6. Which of the following are hormones NOT made of: Lipids Protein Amino acid Steroid
Lipids
Oestrogen may cause the women some unpleasant symptoms including Select one:
a. Nasal stuffiness.
b. Hypersecretion of mucus.
c. Increase in the occurrence of epistaxis.
d. All of the above.
All of the above
What the difference between exocrine and endocrine?
Exocrine secrete into ducts and channels and do not circulate throughout the body (eg. liver)
Endocrines secretes directly into the bloodstream and do circulate around the body
Which hormones does the posterior pituitary gland secrete?
Oxytocin and ADH (anti-diuretic hormone)
which hormones does the anterior pituitary gland produce?
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Adrenocorticotropic Hormone ( ACTH) Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Growth Hormone (GH) Prolactin (PRL)
What is haemodilution
an increase in the fluid content of blood leading to a lower concentration of RBC
What is miasma/melasma
hyperpigmentation during pregnancy caused by the rising levels of oestrogen and progesterone
ie. “the mask of pregnancy”
What is Grave’s Disease, and what condition is it associated with?
Bonus: list the symptoms
hyperthyroidism/overactive thyroid
symptoms: increased BMR, Tachycardia, nervousness, and protrusion of the eyeballs
What is linea nigra
The hyperpigmentation that commonly appears on the abdomen
ie. “the black line”
What are the effects of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Helps control the menstrual cycle and stimulate the growth and maturation of oocytes in the ovaries
What are the effects of Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Stimulate the ovaries to release the Graafian follicle during ovulation
What are the effects of Antidiuretic Hormone (also called vasopressin)
Influences blood pressure
Inhibits urine formation by influencing the renal tubules to reabsorb more water
Less urine is produced and blood volume rises
Needed to manage and maintain the circulating volume
What are the effects of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)
Helps the body react to stress
Define the lymphatic system
The lymphatic system is an organ system in vertebrates that is part of the circulatory system and the immune system
What is an antigen
a toxin or other foreign substance that induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies.
What processes lymphocyte and what is its function
processed by the thymus gland, and provides cell-mediated immunity
Helper cells cooperate with B lymphocytes to produce…. XXXX?
antibodies
True or false:
White blood cells decrease significantly during pregnancy
False - WBC increase
What are the functions of the lymphatic system?
Tissues drainage
Absorption – fat & fat-soluble minerals
Immunity
