Endocrine Notes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| hypothalamus secondary glands | posterior and anterior pituitary |
| prolactin releasing hormone | anterior pituitary - prolactin |
| prolactin | stimulates secretion of milk by mammary glands |
| growth hormone-releasing gactor (GRF) | anterior piuitary - growth hormone |
| growth hormone | promotes growth of body tiss |
| S&S of Growth hormone imbalance | hypo-dwarfism hyper- giantism |
| posterior pituitary | oxytocin & ADH (vasopressin) |
| oxytocin | causes contraction of muscle of uterus; causes ejection of milk from mammary glands |
| ADH (vasopresin) | promotes reabsorption of mater in kidney tubules; stimulates smooth muscle tissue of blood vessels to constrict |
| Over and under production of ADH | hypo- diabetes insipidus hyper- syndrome of inappropiate ADH (SIADH) |
| Hypothalamus -gonadotropin releasing hormone | follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH) |
| FSH & LH male gland hormone | testes/testosterone |
| FSH & LH female gland hormone | ovary/estrogen |
| FSH & LH Male Principle Function | stimulates growth of testes and penis; promtoes development of sperm cells; development of secondary sexual characteristics such as hair growth on body and face and deeping of voice; stimulates maturation of sperm cells |
| FSH & LH Female Principle Function | stimulates growth of primary sexual organs and development of secondary sexual organs such as breasts, plus changes in pelvis to ovoid broader shape |
| hypothalamus tertiary glands | testes, ovary, adrenal cortex, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal medulla, pancreas |
| hypothalamus corticotropin releasing hormone | adrenocorticotropic hormone adrenal cortex |
| adrenal cortex | glucocorticoids |
| glucocorticoids | aids in protecting body in stress situations |
| Over and under production of Glucocorticoids | hypo- addison's hyper-cushing's |
| Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) | thyroid stimulations hormone (TSH) |
| Thyroid | thyroid hormones 7 calcitonin |
| Uncer and over production of Thyroid Hormones | hypothyroidism & hyperthyroidism |
| Thyroid hormones Principle function | increase the rate of metabolism of most body cells |
| Calcitonin Principle Function | hypo- too much Ca hyper- too little Ca |
| Parathyroid | PTH |
| PTH Principle function | Ca and Ph bone metabolism |
| Over and under production of PTH | hypo- to little Ca hyper- too much CA |
| Adrenal Medulla | epinephrine and norepinephrine |
| epinephrine and norepinephrine Principle Function | increase heart rate and BP, activates SNS |
| Over and under production of epinephrine and norepinephrine | hypo-severe hypotension, cardiovascular collapse hyper- hypertension |
| Pancreas | glucagon and insulin |
| Glucagon Principle Function | increase blood glucose levels |
| Insulin Principle Function | decrease blood glucose levels |
| Over and under production of Glucagon | hypo- hypoglycemia hyper- hyperglycemia |
| Over and under prodcuction of Insulin | hypo- diabetes mellitus, kertoacidosis hyper- hypoglycemia, insulin shock |
