Q

Prolactin

A

stimulates milk production in the mammary glands

17
Q

ICSH

A

same as LH in males

18
Q

Growth hormone

A

stimulates the liver to release growth factors in the bones and skeletal muscles

19
Q

Oxytocin

A

stimulates contractions of smooth muscles in uterus and mammary glands

20
Q

ADH

A

causes kidney tubules to become permeable to water, reducing urine output

21
Q

Thyroxin

A

increases body’s metabolism

22
Q

Calitonin

A

lowers blood calcium by putting it into bones and urine

23
Q

Parathyroid hormone

A

increases blood calcium by removing it from the bones, increasing absorption to the intestines and kidney tubules

24
Q

Insulin (beta cells)

A

reduces blood glucose by converting glucose into glycogen in the liver, making the body more permeable to glucose

25
Q

Glucagon (alpha cells)

A

increases blood glucose by converting glycogen to glucose

26
Q

Epinephrine

A

fight or flight

27
Q

Norepinephrine

A

fight or flight

28
Q

cortisol

A

long term stress response, raises blood glucose by breaking down proteins and fats

29
Q

Aldosterone

A

causes reabsorption of sodium in kidney tubules and increases water reabsorption

30
Q

Melatonin

A

circadian rhythms- sleep/wake cycle

31
Q

Testosterone

A

essential for spermatogenesis, second male characteristics

32
Q

Estrogen

A

thickens uterine lining, release of LH in females, secondary female characteristics

33
Q

Progesterone

A

thickens uterine lining, prevents uterine contractions
