Endocrine System

TermDefinition
What occurs from spinal segments T1-L2 Sympathetic preganglionic fibers join at the ventral root of each spinal nerve
Effects of the Sympathetic Division: Eye Dilation of pupil, secretion of tears.
Effects of Sympathetic Division: Skin Increase secretion of sweat glands, growth of hairs.
Effects of Sympathetic Division: Adrenal Glands Secretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine from adrenal medulla.
Effects of Sympathetic Division: Respiratory System Increase rate.
Effects of Sympathetic Division: Digestive System Decreases activity.
Effects of Sympathetic Division: Skeletal Muscles Increase in force of contraction and glycogen breakdown.
Effects of Sympathetic Division: Adipose Tissue Lipid breakdown and fatty acid release.
Effects of Sympathetic Division: Urinary System Decrease in urine production, relax in bladder.
Effects of Sympathetic Division: Reproductive System Increase in secretions male and female.
Effects of Parasympathetic Division: Eye Constriction of pupil.
Effects of Parasympathetic Division: Skin not innervated.
Effects of Parasympathetic Division: Cardiovascular System Decreases heart rate.
Effects of Parasympathetic Division: Adrenal Glands Not innervated
Effects of Parasympathetic Division: Respiratory System Decrease in rate
Effects of Parasympathetic Division: Digestive System Increase in activity, glycogen synthesis.
Effects of Parasympathetic Division: Skeletal System Not innervated
Effects of Parasympathetic Division: Adipose Tissue Not innervated
Effects of Parasympathetic Division: Urinary System Increase urine production, tenses bladder.
Effects of Parasympathetic Division: Reproductive System Erection of penis, or clitoris.
Effects of Sympathetic Division: Cardiovascular Increase in heart rate.
The effects of neurotransmitters of adrenal medulla are similar to those produced by stimulation of: Sympathetic Post ganglionic
The integrative centers for the autonomic nervous system are located in: The hypothalmus
High thyroid stimulating hormone (THS) concentration in the blood means: There is low concentration of thyroid hormones
Rise in concentration of solutes in the blood or a fall in blood volume will cause a release of: ADH hormone (antidiuretic)
Iodine stimulates the formation of this hormone Thyroxine (T4)
Damage to beta cells results in: Decreased: Glucose uptake, ATP production, Glycogen production, protein synthesis.
Sympathetic nervous system provokes which response: Fight or Flight
The medulla secretes what hormones: Epinephrine and norepinephrine
Anterior Pituitary gland secretes: ACTH, TSH, GH, PRL, FSH, LH, MSH
Posterior Pituitary Glad secretes: ADH and Oxytocin
Thyroid secretes: T3, T4, and CT
Parathyroid secretes: PTH
Thymus secretes: Thymosins
Pancreas secretes: Insulin and Glucagon
Adrenal Gland Cortex secretes Cortisol, corticosterone, aldosterone, and androgens
Pineal Gland secretes: Meletonin
Overies secrete: Estrogen, Progestins, and inhibin
Testes secrete: Androgens (including testosterone) and inhibin
What fibers usually release norepinephrine (NE) Sympathetic postganglionic
What division of autonomic nervous system stimulates tissue metabolism: Sympathetic division
What is Dual Innervation An organ receiving both sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves
What is a preganglionic neuron: An autonomic motor neuron whose cell body lies in the CNS

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
