head of sternum?
manubrium
head of ulna?
olecranon
head of femur?
great trochanter
strongest muscle

rotator cuff muscles
names and quantity
4
SITS
supraspinatus
infraspinatus
teres minor
subscapularis
flow of blood
cranial nerves
growth hormone (gh)
-from anterior pituitary
-in muscle
-in adipose tissue
thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
from ant. pituitary to thyroid, releases:
–thyroxin = (t3/t4, metabolism)
–calcitonin
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)
-from anterior pituitary
adrenal cortex releases:
1. mineralocorticoids (aldosterone, reabsorbs Na, if Na stays so does water, and BP raises)
2. glucocorticoids (cortisol–anti inflammatory, breaks down carbs and lipids,)
3. androgens (sex hormones - testosterone, estrogen)
Oxytocin
-posterior pituitary
-baby delivery
-cxn of uterus
-bonding after birth
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
-posterior pituitary
- anti-diuretic (prevents urination when BP is low)
melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)
-intermediate
-melanocytes, skin, skin produces melanin
Epinephrine
-adrenal medulla
- BP increases, pupils dilate, fight or flight response, increase blood sugar levels
Norepinephrine
-adrenal medulla
- maintains normal blood sugar, sleep, wake cycles, mood, memory
endocrine vs exocrine
endocrine = hormones
exocrine = enzymes
calcitonin effect on osteoclasts
calcitonin inhibits osteoclasts, lowers blood calcium
parathyroid effect on osteoclasts
parathyroid promotes osteoclasts, increases blood calcium
glucagon is released from ____ cells in the _____during ____
alpha cells in the pancreas
during fasting/starving
insulin is released from ____ cells in the ____ during _____
beta cells in the pancreas
during overeating
somatostatin is released from ____ and does what?
pancreas
inhibits the two other hormones (insulin and glucagon)
glycogen
stored sugar (liver and muscles)
glucagon
breaks down sugar and converts glycogen to glucose, increases blood sugar
insulin
converts glucose to glycogen, lowers blood sugar
glycogenolysis
done by glucagon
glycogenesis
done by insulin
erythropoetin
a hormone released by kidney to promote production of RBCs
Calcitriol
hormone released from kidney, regulates calcium, reabsorbs remaining Ca in intestines
Renin
enzyme from kidney that raises BP
RAA (renin angiotensin aldosterone) = how kd is involved in BP regulation,
activates chain rx–adrenal cortex releases aldosterone
Pineal gland secretes
melatonin for circadian rhythm
4 hormones that increase blood sugar
epinephrine
norepinephrine
cortisol
glucagon
skin
vitamin d
&
melanin
heart is bw which ribs?
3rd-5th ICS
