TEST 2 Flashcards
Kallman’s
Interrupted secretion of GnRH, loss of sense of smell, hypergonadism, incomplete pubertal maturation, infertility
hypergonadism
the condition of excessive secretion of hormones by the sex glands. Impotence in males, amenorrhea in females
obesity
Diabetes, cardiovascular and liver disease, sexual function and semen quality
Buttocks, hips fat
Greater E4:P4 ratio
Breasts fat, small hips
Greater P4:E4 ratio
anabolic steroids long term issue
Increased LDL levels Acne/blood pressure/Aggressive behavior Liver damage/Jaundice Hypergonadism (decreased GnRH, FSH, LH secretion) Abnormal sperms
In females: Increased libido Irregular lenses/amenorrhea Hair loss Breast atrophy Clitoral hypertrophy
pituitary gland
master endocrine gland, bridge between nervous system and endocrine system
Hypothalamus
Pituitary gland connection
Releases GnRH > anterior pituitary makes LH or FSH
Releases prolactin releasing hormone > AP makes PROLACTIN, which stimulates milk production
Prolactin
Peptide hormone released by anterior pituitary which promotes lactation.
Progesterone
A hormone produced by the ovaries which acts with estrogen to bring about the menstral cycle.
Estrogens (Conjugated)
Ductal tree
End of pregnancy
Milk is produced (Galactogenesis)
Menses stopped (Amenorrhea)
Libido decreases
During pregnancy, e4 and p4 block PRL milk synthesis
Oxytocin
Suckling stimulates nerves > hypothalamus > posterior pituitary releases oxytocin to let milk flow
hCG
vaginal-pudendal nerves clitoral-pelvic nerves(cervical stimulation)
Dopamine
Desire and pleasure. Before orgasm
Oxytocin
Contentment, cuddle, right after orgasm.
Causes contractions of scrotum, prostate, anal. Pulse of OT associated with ejaculation. Contractions of vagina
Prolactin
Sanitation, stress relief. Suppressed dopamine, linked to sleep
compulsive sexual behaviour
Satyriasis in men, nymphomania in women
