Science - Endocrine System Flashcards
function of the Adrenal Cortex
monitor blood sugar, help with Lipid Protein metabolism (My Borther Still Plays, Little Monitors)
function of the Adrenal Medulla
control Heart Function; increase blood glucose, control Blood Vessel size (Come Help increase Bryans Brain)
function of Thyroid Gland
regulate metabolism, Functions in growth // development (Real Men Dont Grope)
function of Parathyroid
regulate Calcium in blood
function of Pancreas Islets
increase or decrease Blood Glucose, Active in carbohydrate metabolism
Function of Thymus Gland
immune response
Function of Pineal Gland
influence biorythms and sexual activity
Function of Pituitary Gland
play role in growht and development
what is the pneumonic to remember the Major Endocrine Glands
At The Physical The Physician Physically Assaulted People (adrenal cortex, Thyroid, Pancrease islets, Thymus, Pineal, Pituitary, Adrenal Medulla, Parathyroid)
GnRH (Gonadotropin) function
Release LH // FSH (Lutenizing Hormone, Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
GHRH (Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone)
release GH –> Growth Hormone
GHIH (Somatostatin (Growth Hormone Inhibiting Hormone))
inhibits release of GH (Growth Hormone) from anterior pituitary
TRH (Thyrotropin RH)
release thyrotropin -TSH
PRH (Prolactin RH)
release prolactin
PIH (Dopamine)
inhibit release of prolactin
CRH (Cartiocotropin RH)
release ACTH –> adrenocorticotropic hormone
Oxytocin
stimulates uterun contratction, target mammary gland –> milk secretion
ADH (Antidiuretic hormone)
target kidneys// blood vessels: increase water retention
TSH (Anterior Pituitary)
stimulates secretion of thyroid hormones
ACTH (Anterior Pituitary)
targets adrenal cortex, stimulate release of glucocorticoids and mineralcorticoids
growth hormone GH (Anterior Pituitary)
targets muscle and bone
FSH (Anterior Pituitary)
targets gonads, Stimulates maturation of sperm cells // ovarian follicles
LH (Anterior Pituitary)
target gonads, stimulate production of sex hormones, stimulate ovulation in females
PRL (Anterior Pituitary)
Targets Mammary Glands, stimulate production of milk
Melatonin (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: Pinneal Glan) (Target: Brain) (Function: regulate awake sleep)
T3 (triiodothronine) (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: Thyroid Gland) (Target: Most cells) (Function: stimulate cellular metabolism)
T4 (thyroxine) (Location, Target, Function)
Location: Thyroid Gland) (Target: most cells) (Function: stimulate cellular metabolism)
calcitonin (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: Thyroid Gland) (Target: Bone and Kidneys) (Function: decrease blood calcium)
what is the pneumonic to remember the hormones of the thyroid gland
Come Take Tony (T3, T4, Calcitonin)
Thymosin (Loaction, Target, Function)
(Location: Thymus Gland) (Target: lymphatic tissue) (Function: stimulate production of T- Cells)
Insulin (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: Pancreas) (Target: Liver, Muscle, Adipose Tissue) (Function: Decrease Blood Glucose)
Glucagon (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: Pancreas) (Target: Liver) (Function: increase Blood Glucose)
GHIH (Somatostatin) (Location, Function)
(Location: Pancreas) (Function: inhibitis secretion of insulin//glucagon)
Epinephrine//Norepinephrine (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: Adrenal Medulla) (Target: Heart, Blood Vessels, Liver, Lungs) (Function: increase Heart Rate, Increase Blood Sugar)
Mineralcorticoids (Aldosterone) (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: adrenal Cortex) (Target: Kidney) (Function: Increase sodium, decrease potassium)
Glucocorticoids (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: Adrenal cortex) (Target: most tissues) (Function: increase blood glucose)
Androgens (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: Adrenal Cortex) (Target: tissue) (Function: stimulate secondary sex characteristics)
what is another name for mineralcorticoids?
Aldosterone
True/False: Glucocorticoids reacts just as fast as glucagon
False: Glucocorticoids does increase blood sugar, but not as fast as glucagon
Gastrin (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: GI Tract) (Target: stomach) (Function: stimulates HCL –> helps breakdown proteins)
Secretin (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: GI Tract) (Target: Pancreas and Liver) (Function: release digestive enzyme and bile)
cck (Cholecystokinin) (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: GI Tract) (Target: Pancreas and Liver) (Function: release digestive enzyme and bile)
Erythropoietin (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: Kidneys) (Target: Bone Marrow) (Function: stimulate red blood cell formation)
Calcitriol (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: Kidneys) (Target: intestines) (Function: increase calcium reabsorption)
ANP (Atrial Natriuretic Peptide) (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: Heart) (Target: kidneys/ adrenal cortex) (Function: reduce reabsorption of Sodium, lower BP)
Leptin (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: Adipose Tissue) (Target: brain) (Function: suppress appetite)
Testosterone (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: Testes) (Target: testes/ tissues) (Function: promote spermatogenesis. secondary sex characteristics)
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: Placenta) (Target: Ovaries) (Function: stimulate estrogen, progesterone production)
Estrogen (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: Ovaries) (Target: Uterus, Ovaries, Mammary Gland, Brain, other Tissues) (Function: stimulate uterine growth, Regulate menstrual cycle, Facilitate secondary sex Characteristics)
Progesterone (Location, Target, Function)
(Location: Ovaries) (Target: Uterus and Mammary Gland) (Function: stimulate uterine lining growth, Regulate Menstrual Cycle, Required to maintain pregnancy)
Inhibin (Location, Target, Function)
