Test Five Flashcards
Brodmann’s does what?
olfactory impulses are analyzed here
Where are endorphins made?
medulla of kidneys
hypercalcemia
high blood calcium levels
What type of hormone is T4?
“biogenic amine”
Grave’s disease
excess T3-T4 in adults
What lowers blood calcium levels
calcitonin
what does oxytocin do
stimulates labor contractions
dual innervation (what and where)
organs that have 2 separate nerve branches (major organs)
Which organs are slowed down by flight or fight response?
GI and urinary
goiter
lack of iodine creates enlarged thyroid
cholinergic
uses acetylcholine as it’s neurotransmitter
pituitary dwarfism
lack of GH
chemoreceptors
“axons of olfactory neurons exit through tiny holes in the ethmoid bone called the cribriform plate
choriod’s two functions
provides nutrients and absorbs light that has already been seen
What does the sympathetic nervous system do?
speeds things up
Which organs are speed up by flight or flight responses?
All except GI and urinary
paracrine
hormone that acts on a neighboring cell
optic disk
blind spot (site of optic nerve)
sound waves exit through this feature
round windows
function of eustachian tubes
act to stabilize fluid pressure in back of the tympanic membrane (drain fluid from middle ear)
pheromones
hormones that act on other animals
Cushing’s Syndrome
excess glucocorticoids
prolactin
controls milk production
diabetes mellitus
low/faulty insulin, blood sugar regulation problems, increased urinary output
two conditions for taste to work
“olfactory sensation (smell) must be present”
ingested food must be partially dissolved or the taste buds can’t work
sound waves enter this feature
oval window
eyes
bend light rays (refraction)
parathyroid hormone
raises blood calcium levels
cones
color, high light levels
How is the release of T4 controlled?
TSH
How is the release of endorphins controlled?
hypothalamus uses neurons
Where are sympathetic postganglionic neuron cell bodies found”
sympathetic chain ganglion
insulin (and what cell makes this)
lowers blood glucose and is made by beta cells
myxedema
low T3-T4 levels in adults
Acromegaly
excess GH post-puberty
iris
colored muscle that regulates pupil size
