Review Flashcards
What hormones are produced by the anterior pituitary gland?
- Growth Hormone (GH)
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
- Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
- Follicle-Stimulating hormone (FSH)
- Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
- Prolactin (PRL)
What hormones are produced by the hypothalamus?
- Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)
- Growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GHIH)
- Thyroid releasing hormone (TRH)
- Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)
- Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
- Dopamine (DA)
Layers of the adrenal cortex superficial to deep.
- Zona glomerulosa
- Zona fasciculata
- Zona Reticularis
What is produced by zona glomerulosa?
Mineralocorticoids (Salty)
What is produced by zona fasciculata?
Glucocorticoids (Sweet)
What is produced by zona reticularis?
Gonadocorticoids (Sex steroids)
Major mineralocorticoid hormone?
Aldosterone
Major glucocorticoid hormone?
Cortisol
What is produced by gonadocorticoids?
Weak androgens
What is the function of aldosterone?
Promotes Na+ reabsorption, water retention and K+ excretion by kidneys
What is produced by the adrenal medulla?
(SPEED)
Epinephrine
Norepinephrine
Initiates fight or flight response.
What is produced by the Thyroid gland?
T3 -Triiodothyronine
T4 - Thyroxine
Functions of the thyroid gland?
- Basal metabolic rate and heat production
- Aids in maintaining BP
- Necessary for normal development of the nervous system
- Increases protein synthesis and breakdown of glucose and fat.
What is hyperthyroidism?
Extra T3 and T4 is produced increasing metabolic rate and increasing heat production (Skinny and hot)
What is hypothyroidism?
Not enough T3 and T4 is produced decreasing metabolic rate and decreasing heat production (Fat and cold)
What does cortisol do?
Promotes gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, and hyperglycemia.
It also decreases inflammatory and immune responses.
Muscles involved in chewing are?
Masseter and temporalis
Muscles for grinding teeth are?
Medial and lateral pterygoids

What forms the oral cavity?
Cheeks, hard palate, soft palate with uvula, teeth, tongue, lips.
How is the tongue attached to the floor of the mouth?
Via the lingual frenulum
Where are the taste buds located?
Papilla on the tongue
What are the 3 papillae and where can they be found on the tongue?
- Vallate papilla - posterior tongue
- Fungiform papilla - all over dorsum of tongue
- Foliate papilla - posterior lateral tongue
What is mastication?
Chewing
What does salivary amylase do?
Begins starch digestion
What does lingual lipase do?
Begins lipid and fat digestion in the stomach
