Q

What is the function of prolactin

A
  • helps to trigger and maintain.Lactation (secretion of milk by mammary glands)
    Prolactin production and release continues as long as nipple continues to be stimulated by nursing or milking
    When prolactin stimulates stops, milk production stops and mammary gland shrinks to its non-lactating size

Q

What is the function of adrenocorticotropic hormone

A

Stimulate the growth and developement of adrenal gland and its release of its hormones In times of sudden stress, ACTH can also be released very quickly as a result of stimulation of the hormones

Q

Function of follicle stimulating hormone

A

Stimulates growth and developement of ovarian follicles
Stimulates follicular cells to secrete estrogen
In males, FSH acts on tubules of testis to aid in sperm production.

Q

Function of luteinising hormone

A

Secretion is stimulates in the presence of oestrogen in the blood
LH stimulates the ripe follicles to rupture and release their ova (ovulation)
The remaining empty follicle becomes
‘luteinised’ to form the corpus luteum
(yellow body)

Q

Function of ADH

A

Reabsorption of water from urine to return to blood stream (ADH is released when receptors in the hypothalamus detect a change in osmotic pressure ion blood from dehydration)

19
Q

Function of oxytocin.

A

Acts on mammary glands during late pregnancy and causes milk to be released in response to suckling by neonate
At the end of gestation, oxytocin causes the contraction of the smooth muscles of the uterus resulting in parturition and deliver of fetus

20
Q

What hormones does the thyroid gland secrete

A

T3
T4
Calcitonin

21
Q

Function of T3 and T4

A

Regulates the metabolic rate of all the body cells which is the rate the body burns the nutrients to produce energy
Essential for normal growth

22
Q

Function of calcitonin

A

Regulates blood calcium level in conjunction with parathyroid hormone
It’s lowers calcium level by inhibiting the rate of decalcification of bone and by stimulate it bone growth (take in more calcium)

23
Q

What is hypothyroidism and what do affected animals show

A

Hypothyroidism: a condition of under secretion of thyroid hormone
Signs: stunted (dwarfism) growth in young animals
Older animals: hair loss, slow heart rate
Dog may become fat and sluggish

24
Q

What is hyperthyroidism and what doe affacted animals show

A

Hyperactive, aggressive activities
Increased appetite
Increased heart rate

25
Q

What hormones does parathyroid gland produce

A

Parathyroid hormone/ parathormone

26
Q

Function of parathyroid hormone

A

Helps to maintain blood calcium levels
If calcium levels are low, calcium is reabsorbed form the bones and absorption of calcium from the intestine is increased

27
Q

Hormones produced by the pancreas

A

Insulin (b cells)
Glucagon (a cells)
Stomatostatin (d cells)

28
Q

Function of insulin

A

Produced by d cells. Insulin decrease blood glucose levels by increasing intake of glucose into body cells and used as energ and storing excess glucose as glycogen in the liver (glycogen is is)

29
Q

What is the condition when there is insufficient insulin production

A

Diabetes mellitus

30
Q

Function of glucagon

A

Produced by a cells in response to low glucose levels
Glycogen increase blood glucose levels by breaking down stores of glycogen in the liver

31
Q

Function of statostain

A

By d cells, Inhibits the secretion of insulin and glucagon
Which smooths out the daily fluctuation in blood glucose levels

32
Q

What are the two parts the adrenal gland is made up of

A

Adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla

33
Q

What are the two parts the adrenal gland is made up of

A

Adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla

34
Q

Which part refers to the inner portion of the adrenal gland

A

Medulla

35
Q

What is the classification of hormones produced by the adrenal cortex

A

Aldosterone
Glucocorticoids
Sex hormones

36
Q

What is the classification of hormones produced by the adrenal cortex

A

Aldosterone
Glucocorticoids
Sex hormones

37
Q

Function of aldosterone

A

Acts on kidney ( at DCT) to regulate the acid/ base balance
By increasing absorption of sodium ions in exchange for potassium ions and hydrogen ions

38
Q

Function of glucocorticoids

A

Cortisone and corticosterone are typical glucocorticoids
In normal animals they are present in low levels but increase due to stress
Their two main actions: increase glucose levels
When present in large quantities they depress inflammatory reaction which delays repair and healing

39
Q

Function of sex hormones

A

Estrogen (females) androgen (male): important for maintain secondary sexual characteristics

40
Q

Hormones produced by adrenal medulla

A

Epinephrine and norepinephrine

41
Q

Function of epinephrine and norepinephrine

A

Raise blood glucose levels by the breakdown of glycogen in liver (energy level increase)
• Increase the heart rate and respiration (to meet the high demand of the body for oxygen)
• Dilate the blood vessels of the skeletal muscles (to meet the increased the supply of glucose and oxygen)
• Decrease the activity of the GI tract and the bladder (in an emergency their functions are less important)

42
Q

Hormones produced by ovaries

A

Estrogen
Progesterone
Relaxin

43
Q

Hormones produced by ovaries

A

Estrogen
Progesterone
Relaxin

44
Q

Function of estrogen

A

Produced by ovarian follicles
Causes the behaviour associated with the extrusion cycle in female animals
Prepares the reproductive tract and external genitalia for mating

45
Q

Function of progesterone

A

Secreted by corpus luteum
Prepared the reproductive organs for pregnancy and maintain pregnancy
Causes the developement of the mammary glands during pregnancy

46
Q

Function of relaxin

A

Produced by ovaries in later stage of pregnancy
Sold ten and relax ligaments around the birth canal and prepare them for parturition

47
Q

Function of testosterone

A

In response to the secretion of ICSH (interstitial cell-stimulating hormone, male version of LH ) from anterior pituitary gland.
• Testosterone leads to the development of male characteristics
• such as muscle development,
• male behavioural patterns e.g. territorial
behaviour, mating display and aggression,
• development of sperm
