Unit 2 Lab 5 chart only Flashcards
what hormones does the anterior pituitary contain?
human growth hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone, melanocyte stimulating hormone
what hormones does the posterior pituitary contain
anti-diuretic hormone and oxytocin
what are the hormones in the thyroid gland?
thyroxine, triodothyroxine, calcitonin
where is human growth hormone located and what is its function
location- cartilage, bone, skeletal muscle, liver and other body tissues
function- stimulates secretion of hormones that stimulate body growth and metabolism
where is thyroid stimulating hormone located and what is its function
location-thyroid gland
function-stimulated growth of thyroid gland and secretion of its hormones
where is follicle-stimulating hormone located and what is its function
location-testes and ovaries
function-stimulates sperm production in the testes and stimulate oocyte production and estrogen secretion
where is luteinizing hormone located and what is its function
location-tests and ovaries
function- stimulates secretion of testosterone in testes and triggers ovulation and stimulate secretion of estrogen and progesterone in the ovaries
where is prolactin located and what is its function
location-mammary gland
function-stimulates production and secretion of milk
where is adrenocorticotropic hormone located and what is its function
location-adrenal cortex
function-stimulates secretion of hormones by adrenal cortex
where is melanocyte stimulating hormone located and what is its function
location- skin
function-darkens skin pigmentation
where is anti-diuretic hormone located and what is its function
location- kidneys
function- decreases water lost in urine by returning water to the blood
where is oxytocin located and what is its function
location-uterus and mammary glands
function- stimulates uterine contractions and milk ejection during suckling
where is thyroxine located and what is its function
location- most body cells (aka follicular cells
function- increases metabolism and basal metabolic rate
where is triiodothyronine located and what is its function
location- most body cells (aka follicular cells
function- increases metabolism and basal metabolic rate
where is calcitonin located and what is its function
location- osteoclast cells in bones (aka parafollicular cells)
function- decreases blood calcium levels by inhibiting osteoclasts
What hormones does the parathyroid gland have?
parathyroid hormone
where is parathyroid hormone located and what is its function
location-osteoclast cells in bone
function-increases blood calcium by stimulating osteoclasts to break down bone matrix
what hormones does the adrenal cortex have?
aldosterone, cortisol, and androgens
where is aldosterone located and what is its function
location- kidneys
function- decreases sodium and water loss in urine by returning sodium and water to the blood
*also called zone glomerulosa
where is cortisol located and what is its function
location- liver, muscles and cells involved in body defenses
function- inscreases resistance to stress, increases blood glucose levels, and decreases inflammation
* also called zone fasciculata
where is androgens located and what is its function
location-uterus, mammary glands, and other body cells involved in secondary sex characteristics
function- insignificant in males, increases sex drive in females
* also called zone reticularis
what hormones does the adrenal medulla have
epinephrine and norepinephrine
where is epinephrine located and what is its function
location- body cells involved in fight or flight response
function- promotes fight or flight response
where is norepinephrine located and what is its function
location-body cells involved in fight or flight response
function- promotes fight or flight response
