Spring 2 Flashcards
Otoliths and what they do
is a calcium carbonate structure in the saccule or utricle of the inner ear
otoliths are used as gravity, balance, movement, and directional indicators in all vertebrates
Why you can’t taste the sugar with a dry tongue
the chemicals from the sugar need to be dissolved in saliva in order for the taste receptors to detect them.
What is the name for the passageway between the throat and the tympanic membrane cavity
eustachian (auditory) tube
Hormones released by the posterior pituitary
- Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin
- target is nephrons of the kidneys
- helps control the balance of water in the body by causing the kidneys to reabsorb water
- oxytocin.
- stimulates uterine contractions during childbirth and milk ejection during breastfeeding.
Hormones released by the anterior pituitary and what they do
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
- stimulates normal development and secretory activity of the thyroid gland.
- Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
- stimulates the adrenal cortex to release corticosteroid hormones
- glucocorticoids that help the body to resist stressors
- Growth hormone [also known as hGH or GH]
- Also known as somatotropin
- major targets of growth are bones and skeletal muscle
Hormones produced by thyroid
triiodothyronine
thyroxine
Collective name of hormones produced by adrenal cortex
corticosteroids
Hormones produced by adrenal medulla
Epinephrine
Norepinephrine
Why the pancreas is important after sugary snack (which hormone and what does it do)
the pancreas produces hormones (Insulin) that help regulate blood glucose level
Hyperinsulinism and how it’s treated
- hyperinsulinism refers to an above normal level of insulin in the blood
- an iv glucose infusion can treat rapidly
- long-term medications
- Diazoxide
- octreotide
- nifedipine

Pancreatic Islet
What are Pancreatic islets and what is made there
- Hormones produced in the pancreatic islet
- are tiny clusters of cells scattered throughout the pancreas
- contain several types of cells, including beta cells, that produce the hormone insulin
