Unit Four- Hormonal Regulation of Growth, Development, and Metabolism Flashcards
what does the posterior pituitary gland do
*stores and secretes 2 hormones:
-antidiuretic (retention of water)
-oxytocin (stimulates uterine muscle contractions, and release of milk)
what hormones does the anterior pituitary gland release
FSH
LH
ACTH
HG
TSH
PRL
what is TSH and what does it do
Thyroid stimulating hormone
-stimulates thyroid gland
what is ACTH and what does it do
adrenocorticotropic hormone
-stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoids
what is FSH and what does it do
follicle stimulating hormone
-stimulates production of ova and sperm
what is LH and what does it do
luteinizing hormone
-stimulates production of sex hormones
what is PRL and what does it do
prolactin
-stimulates milk production
what is HG and what does it do
human growth hormone
-increases protein synthesis
-cell division
-bone and muscle growth
-breakdown and release of fats
what does the thyroid gland do
metabolic thermostat-regulates metabolic rate
-produces and secretes thyroxine
-increases metabolic weight
-increase cell respiration
what is hypothyroidism
low production of thyroxine
what is hyperthyroidism
overproduction of thyroxine
what does the thyroid gland require
iodine
what happens with constant stimulation of the thyroid gland
Goitre
-enlargement of the gland
